Vote. Personally I hope we knock off all four of them, but I don't think we'll get more than 2. Any of these would be big moral victories though.

Georgia Democrats should forget about the economy and go on and on about Max Cleland.  That plays real well there.

Chambliss is in a league of his own.

Yes, I'm sure the TV ads saying "Avenge Max Cleland!" are being cut as we speak.

Defeating Chambliss would be sweetest, just because he ran a horribly ugly campaign against Max Cleland and because Georgia is a strong Republican state.

Defeating Coleman would be a close second, but not as ibg an upset because Minnesota is a Democratic state.

My answer as well.  I have to say Franken doesn't impress me though.

Paul Wellstone was a great Senator and in time we will have that seat back... But...

What Chambliss did to Max Cleland was downright offensive! None of the others are even close. I think an "Avenge Max" ad would really inspire some money to be poured in and maybe rile up some of those who supported him. Saxby Chambliss, in my opinion, is the most undeserving son of a bitch in the Senate.

Well, Chambliss, Coleman, and Stevens are all very repulsive characters, but only the Minnesota seat would be likely to stay Democrat with any degree of reliability down the road.  So I voted for that one.

If I could vote, I would have chosen Stevens....

Strategically on states level, it's better for Dems to make progress in GA or in NC (plus, beating Libby Dole would grasp MSM attention).

But beating McConnell is better on national stage.

And beating Coleman would be problems granted for the future....ahem....

Goddammit, why did you exclude Ronnie Musgrove winning from the poll?  A Democratic victory in what is perceived to be a rocksolid Republican state would be a wonderful feather in the cap of this election.

Seeing Chambliss go away would easily be the biggest highlight of the campaign.

No one hungers to defeat Wicker because he hasn't drawn anyone's attention outside your state.

Kentucky certainly.

Revenge for Daschle 2004 except Daschle was fighting against the coattails in his state; McConnell losing despite the aid of the top of the ticket would be a far bigger win.

Coleman is relatively inoffensive, as far as GOP senators go.  If he's on the list, Wicker should be too.

Chambliss.  Stevens may have a corrupt bank account.  Chambliss has a putridly corrupt heart.  I need to send Martin a check.
