What Senate seats will the Dem's lose in Nov. ?
Edited on Thu Jul-08-10 08:49 PM by jaysunb
Since we keep hearing the Party will "surely" lose several Senate seats, I'd like to ask the DU experts exactly which ones will it be.
Call me crazy, but I think we may actually gain several:
Kentucky
Florida
Ohio
N. Carolina
And no, we won't be losing Ca. or Nevada. You can take that to the bank !
So Du. Who among our Party will be losing ?
WOW!! This DUmbass is delusional. democrats in the States listed are all behind in their respective polls.

1. I agree. Updated at 9:04 PM
I also think that if Hayworth beats McCain in the Republican primary we have a good chance of winning in Arizona.
Not a chance.

2. Blanche Lincoln might lose
She is not liked, won the nomination only because polling places in strong Halter districts were dropped from 42 to 2 "to save money," meaning somebody cheated her in, and she's been badly damaged in the primary.
Excuse me if I don't weep for the loss. Perhaps next time we can get a Democrat into office instead of a Blue Dog conservative.
All hail the mighty Rove.

3. There is good odds the GOP will have a net loss in the Senate as well as the House
This is due to Obamas growing Popularity and Success....
The Pubs are threading deep water this year....they are exposed as the Inept Party....always cynic and always a critic
das all dey do...
Dey will get their anusus plucked in Nov
And you got your anus plugged with some bad ..............well you did.

7. Something about The Nile...
The Senate picture may be a little more fluid, but there simply aren't any House seats left for Democrats to win. The only truly competitive GOP held districts are Kirk's in Illinois, Castle's in Delaware, and Cao in Lousiana.
Democrats have already won all the marginal seats in 2006 and 2008, all incumbents are not going to be reelected, despite marginal improvements in Obama's ratings, should they materialize.
The realistic question is if losses will be limited to under 39, and that can't be said with any certainty at this point.
Stop using logic. It's an alien concept on the island.

16. This seems very reasonable (the chart)
but I still think we should be able to gain seats.
(referencing a graph)
These people are allowed to vote.
