I would not be surprised if the GOP lost Senate seats. I can remember hearing the party line in 1996, 1998, 2000, of how the GOP would gain seats in the Senate. It didn't happen.

If the GOP loses seats this time, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what will happen. Conservatives will get blamed, and Bush will use it as an excuse to move further to the left.

On the other hand, if the GOP wins the Senate, it will force Republicans to advance a conservative agenda. No more excuses about Dass-hole.

If they win, and fail to advance a conservative agenda, they will be exposed for the fraud which many believe them to be. Perhaps then, a grassroots movement will emerge to retake the Republican party.

We should not have lost some of those seats in past elections which should become clearer one of these days why.

What I do know is that everyone of us that wants the RATs out of control has to roll up our sleeves and work to get Republicans elected. We cannot give ms. clinton her victory in November because they will embolden her and that is the last thing we need.

You will see a different Bush Agenda if we take control of the Senate -- Conservatives will be truly in charge of the Senate this time!

Well if the GOP gets control of the senate, the GOP needs to listen loud and clear to the following two words: DUMP LOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 2 cents. It will all come down to TURNOUT, TURNOUT, TIURNOUT. These polls mean absolutely nothing. Polls had the Dingell-Rivers primary race a statistical deadlock and Dingell won by 19 points. In my liberal hometown of Gainesville FL, republicans stood in line at the polls to put 2 republicans on the city commission stunning every soicialist in town. I thought the shocked liberal reporters were going to cry on the air. My point again- All that matters is turnout. Period. I believe there are enough angry republicans that will turn out for GOP to give us the senate. Especially in Missouri and South Dakota.

That conservative-blaming happens much too often, even here on FreeRepublic.
