I'm sticking with a prediction I made a very long time ago:  Carolyn McCarthy is going to lose in NY-04.

Perriello will win.
Feingold will win.
Murkowski will win.
Chet Edwards will survive.

Meh, those are my 4.

If that happens, I'd advocate Mexican airforce bombing Denver Smiley))

Bombing Denver only kills Hickenlooper supporters.

That'd be weird as hell. I guess it's possible though.

True enough. Ok, bomb Colorado Springs Smiley))

Or, could we, at least, require that residents of Colorado who wish to vacation in Cancun first go get a visa? For which they'd have to apply (presenting their great-great-mothers death certificate) in Toronto? And go to pick it up in Sao Paulo?

Ya but it's a three way deal, getting Fiorina IN means Boxer is OUT Smiley

Fiorina would be unbearable.  I'd rather have Buck.

What would Fiorina do? She's be a party line vote for the most part....but that's worth it to get rid of Boxer, IMO.

Boxer has been a progressive champion time and time again. Bennet, while obviously much better than the teabagger, is pretty much owned by the banking industry and has plenty of gross moderate hero tendencies.

That's true, though in fairness, Boxer is in a Democratic base state while Bennet is in a swing state.  So I'm willing to cut him a little slack.
