1. I forget who sent this to me night after the election, but props to them!
Indiana - Luger is up for re-election. If he runs, he's a shoe-in, but he'll
be 76, so be thinking of a possible candidate.
Massachusetts- If Kennedy retires, the Dems better get a good replacement
lined up so we don't lose it to Weld or Romney.
West Virginia - If Byrd retires, the Dems will need a solid candidate in
this right-leaning state.
Maine- Snowe is up for re-election, and a conservative could challenge her
in the primaries. If so, we'll need a solid candidate ready.
Mississippi- Lott's up for re-election. Apparently, the Mississippi AG Mike
Moore is pretty tough and may run against him/
Pennsylvania- Santorum. WE NEED to win this one. Maybe Gov Rendell could
step up? Ed seems like a good guy.
Missouri- Talent's a freshman, moderate state, room for an upset.
Nevada- Ensign's up for re-election. Nevada almost went for Kerry, this
should be looked into.
Ohio- DeWine is very moderate, but vulnerable. Rep. Ted Strickland is from
southeast Ohio (red area), so he could appeal to rural voters, plus he's
tough, smart, a good speaker and progressive. I think he could run for
president though, so maybe Columbus Mayor Coleman or Rep Brown.
Rhode Island- Chafee's up for re-election, who knows if he'll even run as a
republican. He might run as a dem, or not at all. Keep out eyes on this one.
Tennessee- If Frist doesn't run, Harold Ford could try for it, and have a
good chance.
Texas - Hutchinson might run for Governor, so this seat would be open. Maybe
Ron Kirk could run again.
Virginia- George Allen. NeoCon, get Mark Warner after this guy. This would
be a HUGE win, and possible.

2. Michigan - Stabenow
With Levin not running again in 08 we really need to protect her seat.
