Get rid of Ben Nelson-- then you and Texas will have nothing but Republicans statewide in office (like my state!). Also in that elite group: Alaska, Ohio, and Utah.

What about ID? How many Republican congressmen does OH have compared to the Democrats?

[Theodore R.]

Though he lost a Senate race in 1996, Ben Nelson is one of those popular Democrat politicians in his state, like Breaux in LA, like Lloyd M. Bentsen, Jr., used to be in TX, like the Pryors in AR, and like Robert Graham in FL, and Ernest F. Hollings in SC. You just can't beat those kinds of candidates no matter what, for they appeal to the "middle" AND the "common man."
