Any states the GOP could pickup in 2010?

I haven't followed much.  Kulongoski has been weak though for years in OR and with the disaster with Rod in IL, any chance there?  How about reclaiming AZ?  Any states we have a shot at, particularly blue states?

I don't see us hanging onto CA.  We won't run a moderate.  OK, KS?  Sure, but those are red states.  I was kind of thinking towards the bluish/purple states.

Those are the key ones...It would be nice to get CO back after a horrid few yrs there, but Ritter seems moderate and popular.  But, maybe AZ/OR/IL/IA/MI/WI, etc.

Crist will save the GOP in the Senate in 2010.  The Gov. seat should stay red as well.

Burr is in major trouble in 2010.  I hope DeMint gets the boot.  The guy is an ignorant idiot and of all the GOPers to go, his ass still sits there.  Judd Gregg for the 1st time could have some problems as well and even McCain could get a run for his $$$. Every other GOP seat should be relatively safe, even if Coburn vacates the seat.  Murkowski of AK should be okay.

The democrats could have some problems  in CT with Dodd if the moderate Rob Simmons runs, but pretty much every other democratic seat is safe.

Damn. I didn't know Judd was retiring. So, basically, another democratic pickup in NH..sigh.  NH has become another CO for us.  We're getting murdered there. 

CO, we have nothing.  We can't do diddly there anymore.  I've heard Gov. Sanford is actually halfway moderate, which is a nice change of pace, but of course in SC that's not going to cut it.  Jim DeMint is one the biggest definitions of why are party is clueless today and yet, he'll win another term.

You mean, the socially moderate group and fiscally CONSERVATIVE, which was how our party was founded?

Your wing of the party has destroyed us and made us unelectable.   Feel free to leave.
