Tommy Thompson for Senate, Governor...or Mayor of Elroy (population 1,500)

If Thompson could run for the Senate and win, I think it's time for Republicans to start thinking about taking over the Senate. Lincoln might switch sides, and even if she doesn't, she'll either be defeated or be a help to Republicans in the Senate. Would Lieberman side with Republicans over Democrats? Possibly. And realistically now, it is not mathematically impossible for us to win. We can have a 50 majority if Hoevan runs in ND and if we win NV, CO, MO, IL, OH, PA, AR, DE, CT, WI, NH, and NY(S). That'd give us 50 seats, and if Lieberman sided with us, 51. Either way, we'll at least make it unpleasant for Obama.

I hate to be overenthusiastic, but I actually think there could be a realistic shot of Republicans controlling both chambers after 2010, and I'm starting to think taking over the Senate might be easier.

But you have to admit, it'd probably help her re-election chances, which are looking pale now.

I'm not sure, Specter wasn't too popular among Democrats, yet I think he's still leading the primary there. Head-to-head polling would also help Lincoln's cause. I think her vs. a Generic Democrat in the general election would results in a comfortable win for her.
NY(S) is possible. Polling has Gillibrand trailing to Giuliani, and only leading Pataki by a point.
How do you seep a state?
