Republicans are in a Great Position to Control Senate in 2012
Suite 101 ^ | 10/8/2011 | Keith Darling-Brekhus

The 2012 political outlook for US Senate races looks favorable for a Republican takeover. For starters, the GOP needs only to defend 10 seats, whereas the Democrats have 22 seats to defend (counting the seats held by Independent Senators Joe Lieberman and Bernie Sanders who caucus with the Democrats). With the Democrats holding a fairly slim 53-47 majority in the Senate, if Republicans were to win just 13 or 14 of the 32 races at stake, they would regain control of the US Senate.

ND— probably Rick Berg (solid conservative)

NE— John Bruning or Don Stenberg (Bruning has run a bad campaign already though)

MT— Denny Rehberg (solidly Conservative but voted against Ryan plan in House)

MO— Sarah Steelman or Todd Akin (both very conservative)

VA— George Allen (solidly conservative)

Some of the other races (2nd tier ones) don’t really have well defined candidates yet.

The president appoints but the senate confirms.

BALLS will win the day, to date I see none, but I am still concerend that even with a majority in the house and senate and a new president the limp wristed GOP RHINOS will be working with the rats once again to reach over the isle and treat them like humans instead of the criminals they really are. They never learn, I hope we have!

Romney opposed the two most successful conservative policy efforts of the last 30 years... the Reagan policies of the 1980`s and the Contract With America of the 1990`s. Romney would be a disaster. Spread the word.
