And I hope this is NOT a lesson the Democrats ever learn. The more they harp and smear and complain and spew hate, the better it is for Bush. People don't like the negative politics but the hard-core Dems never learn.
Hope he runs a good race and wins. Graham has been getting kookier and kookier, and probably will be certifiable in a few years. Who keeps a diary all day long about what he wears and what he eats? That's nuts!
Murray bin Ladin (D-WA) can be taken down if a good candiate can be found (she has high, high negatives). Schumer (D-NY) is vulnerable if Guiliani runs against him. And I think Daschle (D-SD) is also vulnerable if a well-funded and nationally supported Republican runs against him.
I would have agreed with NV had Gibbons run. As it stands now, it looks like it's going to be a second or third-tier candidate. I think for once, Reid is safe.
A 3 seat pickup would loosen the 'rat chokehold on Seanate business. A 5 seat pickup along with W landslide would force the Democratic Party to reconstitute or go Green.
I guess the complaint and press release fund raising con isn't paying like it used to.
The changing demographics of Nevada, with a growing suburban population in the Las Vegas and Reno/Carson city area is good news for Republicans. A lots of small businessmen have relocated to NV as well. Reid only won his election 5 years ago by fewer than 500 votes - and he was the incumbent!
I think Thune won the last election! Daschle does not have the advantage of majority leadership this time around. His money sources will not be as likely to fund him to the hilt. Thune, or another Republican, helped by the Republican Senate campaign can take this seat if they make the effort. And a sweet win it would be too.
I'm not on the east coast, so I can't say what the buzz is about Rudy, but if he did run, he would wipe out that pompous a$$ Chuckie. Rudy needs to strike while he holds the advantage. With Rudy and GW Bush on the same ticket, the 'Pubs could even take NY State in 2004!
Paul Laxalt! ;^)
If he lasts as long as Strom, he'd have another 18 good years!
Graham would really get my juices flowing in a sense because I've been outraged to watch him demagogue the terrorism issue," said former government watchdog and Senate candidate Larry Klayman, noting the ex-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee has "blood on his hands" because he was privy to much of the same information as the president. <
If one were supporting the President's position, this is not the correct term to use. Just a heads up for you guys.
The democrats have several other seats that are not rock-solid locks. For instance, Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark) comes to mind. The Louisiana seat of John Breaux (D) is safe if he stays on (fairly conservative democrat - as democrats go), but if he retires, it's anybody's guess. And what about Byron Dorgan in North Dakota. Bush carried that state by over 20% in November 2000. If GW brings that margin again, there might be coattails for a qualified Republican challenger.
Although I'm still looking at a 3 or 4 seat Republican Senate gain, if Bush gets it all together with a good economy and job creation on the rise, the underpinnings of a 1964-style landslide are there.
