Okay DU; 57, 58, 59, or 60?

[Dawgs]

What ya think?

Minnesota - Franken(D) vs. Coleman(R)
Alaska - Begich(D) vs. Stevens(R)
Georgia - Martin(D) vs. Chambliss(R)

1. Unfortunately, I just don't see Saxby the Scumbag losing...

...his vote margin is higher than the others, and the third party spoiler was a Libertarian. :(

But I have confidence that Minnesota and Alaska did the right thing this year.

[Dawgs]

2. Agree.

I live in Georgia and can't see how Martin loses. Unless, Republicans are so dejected that they stay away from politics.

3. Other 58 - Franken and Begich Win, Martin Loses And

we sure the hell can't count LIEberman as a Dem.

9. That was my reaction too

4. Just as I said prior to the big election, turnout beats fraud

And nowhere is the fraud more blatant than Georgia. It will be the toughest of the three states to win, without a doubt.

Of course it would also be good to remove convicted felon Ted Stevens now, the "usual way" and not leave a door open for Moosealini herself to step in to the Senate (God help us all)

10. They have e-voting with no paper trail. I hope Barack and the Dem Congress passes legislation

requiring a paper trail in all elections

5. 59. Why else would they give Lieberman a reprieve?

I hope it doesn't bite them in the ass. Zeromentum is hardly reliable. Personally I'd kick him off. He never should have trashed the Dems at the Repug convention.

6. I would say

a Repub couldn't lose in GA, but saxby does have McCain campaigning for him...

[ShadowLiberal]

7. Begich is definitely winning, even Steven's own pollster says so

Franken may possibly be able to pick up a seat for us, but we're still behind by like 200 votes there.

As for Martin I'm very skeptical that he can pull off a win. I mean really, ask yourself for a moment, is associating yourself Obama, a guy who lost the state Martin is running in, really such a good idea? To me that seems like in 2000 associating yourself with George W Bush when running in a statewide election in Massachusetts.

8. Martin has no real chance, Franken will lose by a hair

Alaskans aren't that awful to re-elect a corrupt felon. Saxby's got GA locked. And Franken's recount will be a heartbreakingly close race.

Very disappointed in Minnesota this year. Bachmann but no Franken.

[AlinPA]

11. We have 55 Democrats and one reliable Independent (Sanders). I don't count Liarbeman.

He is a republican in my view. GA is a stretch, I'm doubtful there. MN is a coin toss.By picking up Begich we will go with 57.
