What to do with "DINO'S"...
We keep them and use their numbers to get leadership positions. I have a good feeling about our 06 chances, so let's keep Joementum and the others and when it comes time to fill leadership positions in Congress, places like DU need to remember who our friends are and make sure we use influence to get them in powerful leadership positions.

And wouldn't it be funny if we gave a position to a friendly RINO in front of Joementum?

3. Don't know numbers, but...
I think we are going to take back both....

After the start of the new year I think the biggest ace up the Dem's sleeve will be all of the corruption scandals going on and the phrase we are going to hear over and over and over again next year will be "culture of corruption." (This brings me to a belief of mine that we should always be on the look out for great ideas from our opponents and use them - fore example, Joe Scarborough has always said that to get things through the thick heads of voters you have to repeat them until the voter is so sick of hearing them they are ready to puke. Then you repeat them again. We need to take bits of knowledge like this and remember them.) I think (or hope) the Dems are going to turn this into a huge wave. I'm also hoping that the Dems search through all of Cunningham's bribes and find the most salacious of details and use that for huge gains. And all of this will only get better for us. Thankfully, in our favor, the court system is slow and all of this will be drawn out in steady drips.

Right now we have EVERY top republican under investigation of some sorts and I sincerely believe the Dem leadership fully understands the short attention span of the American people and is purposely not pushing all of this hard so it won't peak too soon.

5. I like our senate chances in PA and Ohio (my state)
There's a New England seat in play, but I don't know which swing state beyond that we have a reasonable chance at. (gotta go)

4. The other day on here, Robert Byrd was tagged as a DINO
"We keep them and use their numbers to get leadership positions."
No shit? Is THAT how politics works?
