One positive thing about 2010 is that, obama will not be in the ballot. The turn out of blacks will not be so great. So, if we can find some decent conservative candidates, we can win. For example, in North Carolina Richard Burr(R) US senator can win by being more conservative and start building the ground game for the next 2 years. Same thing in Indiana, we can win it in 2010. Atlease we can win in the conservative states(pre obama) like North Carolina and Indiana

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Are you saying Lugar needs to be more conservative in order for us to be in better shape in 2012 in IN? Or are you suggesting that we can somehow defeat Bayh in 2010? I don't think either is likely to happen. Lugar has never been much of a movement conservative. He's not quite a RINO, but close. Evan Bayh isn't going to get beat. The Bayh family is too strong here and I don't think Evan has ever lost a race. He won statewide races here when the Republican party was much stronger than it is now.

I think Mitch Daniels may go for Lugar's seat once he retires.
