looking ahead

Now, this is the spirit I like.

As it's a "vanity" from freerepublic, the link has to be to freerepublic (rather than any "original source").

Let's go to work: Senate Elections 2010: 50 State Strategy. Here we go!

Posted on Wednesday, November 05, 2008 8:59:15 AM by watsonfellow

Ok: So obviously we need to take a page from the DNC/LEFT/Kos handbook and look at 2010 as an opportunity.

Despite Senate gains in 2002 and 2004, we've been doing a horrible, HORRIBLE job in recruiting and running Senate races.

We need to look at 2010 as an opportunity. We need to target EVERY SINGLE Dem. no matter how "blue" a State they are in, and recruit great candidates for this election.

We can't simply rely on "red" states- there is a reason why Dems win in states like Montana, South Dakota etc.

Here is a list of the Senate races we need to target in 2010.

-Christopher Dodd (D) of Connecticut

This will be unpopular here, but we should run Chris Shays for this seat. He is a bit too moderate for my taste, but he has been a strong supporter of Ethics in government as well as the WOT. He can win this.

-Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas

Huckabee. Dems always run there strongest candidates for Senate elections. We need to let Huckabee know that it's not ok for him to just sit this one out. He can win this.

-Barbara Boxer of California

McClintock and Whitman need to come to an understanding. One of them runs for Gov, the other the Senate. Boxer hasn't run a competitive race since 1998 and we need to take the challenge to her.

-Ken Salazar of Colorado Bob Schaffer

-Daniel Inouye of Hawaii Linda Lingle

-Barack Obama of Illinois

Surely we can find someone to beat Jesse Jackson Jr?

-Evan Bayh of Indiana Mitch Daniels

-Barbara Mikulski of Maryland Michael Steele.

-Harry Reid of Nevada Not sure who, but Reid is very, very unpopular in Nevada and this is our biggest target. Let's wipe out his smug smile.

-Chuck Schumer of New York Peter King- he's from NYC, he's popular and can take Schumer down. Our second biggest target.

-Byron Dorgan of North Dakota John Hoeven

-Ron Wyden of Oregon Not sure who.

-Patrick Leahy of Vermont Jim Douglas

-Patty Murray of Washington Dino Rossi

-Russ Feingold of Wisconsin Paul Ryan

-Joe Biden's seat Mike Castle

And there is of course potential seats in Mass (Kennedy's) and South Dakota that we should look out for.

Seriously we need to target every one of these seats.

EVERY ONE OF THEM.

Now, some of these might be unrealistic, and what about Rudy Giuliani in New York?
