Who thinks we'll take back the Senate? |
|
I'd really love to see that, but now I'm not so sure it will happen. I hear we've taken some hits in the Carolinas. I thought Tennenbaum was ahead, but now I guess she's not? Now people are worried about Castor in Florida, which I kind of assumed was a lock. Is Bunning's imminent mental collapse going to win us the race in KY?
Obama's a lock. So is Salazar, and I haven't heard anything about AK that suggests that Knowles will lose. So there's 3 pickups. What about Daschle and Reid? It's gonna be disappointing if we don't win back the Senate, but I'm trying to keep my hopes up. Anyone got some good news?

Daschle is still iffy
Castor depends on the Kerry turn-out
if he carries Florida, she'll win
we're going to lose South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, and possibly North Carolina

It's a gain in the sense that we won't have Zell bad mouthing us with his supposed "credibility" anymore. I'm not even counting that. From what I hear about Louisiana that should be interesting, but people here are confident we'll win in a runnoff, like Landrieu did.

We pick up Illinois Colorado Alaska Oklahoma Kentucky
We lose Georgia South Carolina
We keep: Florida South Dakota North Carolina
Net gain of three seats
Kerry's seat goes to Barney Frank in a special election and LA goes to a run-off.

5. I think we'll take it. 50 to 49, plus Jeffords. |
|
And after the election, we MIGHT just get someone like Chaffee to come to our side...

I think with the turnout and people voting straight democratic in the states you can do this there will be some surprises.
