I'm done mourning -- who's vulnerable in 2006??

[Bleacher Creature]

I can't deal with moping around anymore. I want to fight now more than I ever have -- and I will.

I'm also not going to get into the Monday morning quarterbacking thing, but I do want to say something. We all approached 2004 wrong. As much as anyone else, I wanted to get the two top prizes: the White House and Congress. But the fact is that the deck is stacked against us.

We need to start in the states and we need to do it NOW. When we have state legislatures, there will be no more unfair redistricting against us. When we have the Ohio and Florida Secretary of State offices, we will get paper trails and enough voting machines. When we get Governorships, we get state courts.

From now until 2007, we need to win back the states. That's how we get the big prizes in 2008.

So here's a few names to start the list of who needs to go. I'll start with the obvious:

Bob Ehrlich -- Maryland Governor
Ken Blackwell -- Ohio Secretary of State
Glenda Hood -- Florida Secretary of State
Mitt Romney -- Mass Governor
Tim Pawlenty -- Minnesota Governor
Bob Taft -- Ohio Governor
Open Florida Governor

1. SANTORUM - SANTORUM - SANTORUM - SANTORUM - SANTORUM - SANTORUM - SANTORUM

Santorum is vulnerable.

Hands down.

He will lose.

[Francesca]

2. thank you this is much more helpful

now forgive a stupid question as I don't live in any of those states but do we have any idea whom will be running for these positions...and what can we do to help those people particularly if you are not in those states????

[Robroy]

3. Anyone who votes is vulnerable..

n/t

4. Don't forget the MN Sec of State.

Mary Kiffmeyer. She's pure evil. She tried her hardest but we showed her who's boss. Go MN!

5. Exactly what I was thinking. We need a list and we need to start working

on it. 2006 is just around the corner!! FULL COURT PRESS!!!

6. Governor of Arkansas

7. Mike Huckabee n/t

[southernlad]

8. Yelp - he's term limited this time. So no run in 2006 (n/t)

[Emboldened Chimp]

9. I'm making a list of House vulnerables right now...

All we need is a 20 seat swing; not outside the realm of possibility.

[Maiden England]

10. we STILL have a runoff for congress in LA

against a neocon.

Time to fight is right now.

11. KKKatherine Hairass!

Isn't she up again in 2006?! I know she was reSelected (by her own voting system and rules no less!) this year and originally in 2002, so good lords, what a mahiya to get her sorry booty out! I'm racking my brain to think of any other repukes here in FL that will be up in 06, how about Mark Folley?

16. All congressional seats are up every 2 years

The problem isn't whether or not they are up (they all are) but whether or not they are vulnerable. Most seats in Florida are so gerrymandered that they aren't really competitive.

12. Ehrich's days are numbered...

sinclair got that freak elected

i hear they are going to run martin o'malley the popular mayor of baltimore MD against him...i live in baltimore and i for one will be on the front lines of that battle.

i agree...lets start thinking grassroots, achieveable goals that can snowball into a mighty force...i pledge to fight in local politics and rebuild.

bob taft is going to get hammered too...he is generally hated in OH

peace

13. We start with the Congress. And we take names and watch votes.

We educate the people and put the info out there in media they understand even if they don't want to hear it.

[Orangepeel]

14. Glenda Hood is appointed by the Gov., not elected

So if we win the Florida governorship, that comes with it.

[Bleacher Creature]

15. Cool. Thanks. n/t

[pstokely]

17. Jim Talent -- Missouri Senator

ran for Governor in 2004 and barely lost to Bob Holdin (who's lost the Dem primary in August) and barely won against Jean Caranhan who was appointed to the seat for two years

[mumon]

18. George Fucking Pataki!

[Chovexani]

20. Damn straight

Spitzer for Gov!

[Jackie97]

19. I think I'm through with most of my moping too.

No way in hell are a bunch of conservatives chasing me out of my own country. Time to kick some ass!

As I've been saying, round two. They haven't even began to see how much hell they can be put through for bullying the world.

It's nothing personal. I don't hate most of them. I really don't. It's just that they're putting us through hell with their vote. We need to give them hell by fighting back; harder this time.
