2006 RIPE TARGETS:
New Mexico's Jeff Bingaman West Virginia's Robert KKK Bird North Dakota's Kent Conrad. Minnesota's Mark Dayton (Major Kook). Wisconsin's Herb Kohl Nebraska'a Ben Nelson Florida's Bill Nelson
These are 7 senators in Red or Swing states that we should focus on defeating.
All of the GOP senators look very safe. Lincoln Chaffee might defect to the Dem party, but he was also a huge RINO. Expect a challenge against Santorum, but he should be able to hold off. Everyone else is very solid in Red States.
Let's focus on 2006 and aim for 60!!! yes 60 SENATORS!!
If we can take out Kennedy in 2006, or even run a strong enough challenge to drain massive resources from other Democrat candidates, it would be sweet bliss.
Good list. Suggest a further sort - red state -- blue state.
Changing the Senate is better than losing a blue state election. Spend less, get more.
60 senators in 2006 and then we must go for 67 senators in 2008 in case the hildabeast gets elected)
You think Santorum will win in PA?
Look for Kennedy and Byrd to retire.
Democrat seats identified by Bush state, swing state, or Kerry state:
Mark "Evacuating" Dayton, Lincoln Log Chaffee, and Jumpin' Jim Jeffords all need to be made High Value Targets.
These wastes of space need to go.

HHS Secretary and former WI governor Tommy Thompson should consider running.
The GOP should try and get former ND governor, -- Schaefer is it??? -- to run against Conrad. Though for some reason he didn't run this year. Is he not popular? Or they could try and get their current gov who just won an overwhelming reelection victory to cut short a second term and run, though of course it'd only be cut short if he won. Conrad is almost as insufferable as Daschle.
Nelson of Nebraska votes conservative for a Democrat, and crossed over to vote with the GOP on several key issues. So he may be tough to beat as he has some semblance of a record where he actually votes conservative.
New Mexico: What about that former GOP gov who favored some sort of limited drug legalization. I think his name is Johnson. I wonder if he left as a popular governor?
Florida: Obviously Jeb could win it, but he has said he will return to private life after the conclusion of his second term in 06.
As for GOP seats, I don't really know who might be vulnerable. I expect the Dem gov of Virginia, Mark Warner, will challenge Sen George Allen. I've read that Warner is popular, but he has made some liberal moves that Allen could use against him.
Corzine wants to be governor.
good idea - never too soon to start getting rid of RINO's and liberals

Any potentials out there for running against him.
Stabenow in MI would be a easy pick off if Candice Miller, the very popular former Secretary of State and current member of Congress, would run against her.
Candice is very well known and very much liked in Macomb County, the home of the Reagan Democrat.
Stabenow votes almost in lock step with Levin, so I'm sure there's some easy issues to pick her off with.
Believe it or not...I would put Orin Hatch high on the list to replace.
There are numerous reasons...I think he is dangerous on some issues (technology and copyprotection) and obstructionist on other issues (judicial appointments) ...although he seems to play his 'conservative' cards well. IMHO, hes a phony.
Corzine wants to be governor.
I can even host a web site- we can call it 'target2006.org'
What about RINO Snowe?
Gotta say though re WA, if Republican Rep. George Nethercutt couldn't take out Sen. Patty "Moron" Murray on Tuesday, then no one can take out Maria Cantbudgetwell. Both are women and both are from the liberal leftist communistic demoncRAT side of the state. Four years ago when Cant"budget"well beat incumbent Sen. Slade Gorton, who also was from the west side of the state, she carried the majority in only 3 counties (all on the west side with the densest population) with Gorton carrying the majority in the rest of the state. As far as Sen. Bobby "Kleagle" Byrd in WV is concerned, no one can beat him except death. Very depressing! However, hope springs eternal, so maybe there are others on your list that are vulnerable to defeat besides these two idiots.
Ensign says he will not run for gov. of NV. That said if he did I am sure he would win and in 6 years he would make a great cantidate for P or VP.
