1. Carnahan has already stated she wants the bush tax cuts to be kept in place

Not about to root for her.

7. You do realize that given the likely number of Democrats, there is a remote

possibility that the majority could be lost. I actually do not think that will happen, put if the number goes down, if things turn worse, we could end up with a Republican President, House and Senate in 2012. It is always better to have a Democrat for the 6 year term.

10. better to have a DINO?

uhh, yeah :rofl:

Blanche Lincoln, etc., etc., :rofl:

[karynnj]

11. yes, it is better

Lincoln does vote with the Democrats most of the time. There would still be the need to get 60 votes - and if Lincoln is now the one weakening them down, without her - we need to pull in someone further to the right.

2. What's the difference

Carnahan loves Bushie tax cuts, might as well have a real Repuke in Blunt

3. Majority Leader McConnell.

Prepare yourselves.

4. He'll finally be able to afford that chin implant. nt

5. This is good at least the dem is keeping it compeditive. At least she isn't peaking too soon.

6. At least if she loses, the GOP might move money from other states

like CA, WA, or WI with some real Dems

[karynnj]

8. Excellent point

[Ramulux]

9. This is good news

If we can make this competitive and force the GOP to spend a bunch of money to defend it, that could end up effecting other races. Also if she wins, that would be a huge loss for the repubs and would take away any shot of taking the senate.
