Lose 1, Win 1?

Could this be the scenario that will play out in 2010 with the retirement of Dorgan and Dodd?

Dorgan, popular leader in a red state retires and this is an opportunity for the repubs, while Dodd is an unpopular leader in a blue state that the repubs thought they could take (not so much now).

Worse case scenario we loss ND. Best case scenario we keep Conn and go after liarman and could come out with two dems from Connecticut who will work with Obama.

1. Ooh -- I like the part about going after Lieberman -- I'd love to see him beaten. nt

[dkf]

2. Lieberman isn't up til 2012.

Sucks.

4. Imagine having two Democratic Senators in Conn

I wish both men the very best and the fought the good fight. I particularly want to thank Dodd. He knew he was tore up from the floor up as far as Connecticut was concern. Instead of running for vanity and ego, he is bowing out to keep the seat in democratic hands.

God Bless them both.

6. They were thinking Blumenthal would challenge Lieberman.

Now who will take him out? Bleh.

[angee_is_mad]

9. another dem?

two more years for liarman to show his ass and piss off his state, I think we can find a dem to challenge him.

I would be surprise if liarman retired. Switching to the gop would not be a good move for him in Conn, because he will be primaried and if he made out to the general he will be toast. He is acting like a man with nothing to lose.

10. Chris Murphy will take him out in 12.

11. Gosh I'm starting to get excited about elections.

I bet Lieberman will be a HUGE target for Dems. Any Dem that backs that creep needs to be taken out too.

3. Stephanie Hersh should run for Dorgan's seat.

and keep it on the D side.

but she is a blue dog.

[angee_is_mad]

5. but more progressive

than liarman?

[Mass]

7. Wrong Dakota.

[msongs]

8. someday we will have a dem controlled senate n white house instead of liberal republicans in charge

[AllyCat]

12. I'd love to see more Dems, but I've learned that won't make a difference

Obama, Most of the House and all of the Senate except Sanders will work with the corporations, not for us.

[SpartanDem]

13. That's how I seeit working out

we probably keep CT now that Dodd is gone.
