How long have you been working on this?
1 Day. I'm just that good.
That's a bold statement. Yet I don't see anything wrong with your analysis.
60-40 would be awesome
I strongly disagree......Ford will not win statewide in 2006 and Santorum will win strongly....Carper can be defeated by Mike Castle.
Realignment is here!
That outlook is very conservative, and it is amazing!
So how many do you see the GOP getting in 06?
I guess the Tribune doesn't realize CASSANDRA WAS RIGHT, it's just that no one listened to her.
Why will Ford lose?
I can assure you with every fiber of my being, Junior is neither a Conservative 'Rat nor stands a chance at winning the open Senate seat. Tennessee IS a solid Republican state and only becomes more so with each successive election. Whomever the GOP nominates for the seat will win, and it will probably be Rep. Marsha Blackburn.
The talk here in Austin is that Hutchinson is eyeing the governorship here but is waiting to see what Rick Perry (current governor) and Carole Keeton Rylander McClellan Strayhorn Keeton Rylander Strayhorn (current treasurer and Perry's chief antagonist) plan to do before committing herself.
In Texas, any decent GOP Senate candidate will win however.
Because Ford's name is synonomous with sleazy Memphis politics. He may have a clean nose, but his daddy, a racist slimeball, is pulling the strings. The rest of the state would never elect him to the Senate (assuming the 'Rats would even ALLOW him to have the nomination (they told him "no" in '02) - and the nat'l 'Rats got their "token" in IL with Osama bin Barack, and the White 'Rat power establishment doesn't want any more of "those Black people" in the Senate), and let's not forget that despite his "moderate" rhetoric, he IS leftist.
Democrats built up those massive majorities in the 60s and 70s and passed truckloads of liberal legislation. We will do the same with conservative/free market legislation.
My advice: keep working at it. Start by not calling a commie-with-a-smile like Harold Ford a conservative. Continue by putting Snowe down as safe for reelection. Who's gonna beat her? Dan Gwadosky? Tom Allen? Tom Andrews??? I don't think so.
Nice job with the analysis, but I'm hoping that Governor Johanns will make a run at Ben Nelson's seat in Nebraska. Last I heard he was warming to the idea of running which would make that a very competitive race.
Would love to see either Pataki or Rudy take on Hillary. They will both have to do some soul searching because 1) there is no way either can win the '08 GOP nomination and 2) if they both decide to run, as has been speculated, they will drain each others resources. Rudy would make the better candidate though.
Well, he's not THAT left. The American Conservative Union Gives him a lifetime rating of 20, with a 40 in 2003. Compare that with ultra-lib Pelosi's 3 and moderates like Sen. Bayh with 22 and Lieberman with 19. So Ford is squarely in the "Blue Dog" camp.
The Club for Growth just may force her out in the primaries. And according to the American Conservative union ratings, Harold Ford's lifetime 20 rating puts him between Sen. Bayh's 22 and Lieberman's 19.
I don't know about California. The Republican Party out there could organize and come up with a winner. Boxer could have lost easily if they only selected a winner. Lungren as a candidate would have been a winner. Those guys from top to bottom need help.
Just a few "show" votes doesn't make him a Conservative, let alone a moderate. (And Bayh and Lieberman, despite posturing to the contrary, are STILL liberals). His entire family has their hand in Memphis politics, and they are as evil and corrupt (not to mention maniacal) as the day is long. He IS daddy's puppet, period.
