We need to win the WH and the Senate.
We will not get the House back this year but the Senate should be doable.

Kerry needs to go at Bush and the Republican Smear machine Fang and Claw. We need to take some house seats back. I am very concerned about my home state. I want us to take Campbell's seat. I could not bear the thought of Governer B.O. running and winning. Would anybody go after him on his problems? We also need to hold the southern seats if at all possible and get other non-southern seats that are not ours right now. It can be done. In my state, we need to oust Bob Beauprez, Tom Tancredo, Marylin Musgrave, and take Scott McInnis' seat.


Is this doable?

1. the fact that those people got elected at all
probably means they are safe seats. i don't think any area that isn't very conservative would elect those fools.

i would say to focus on the senate. i personally would like to see gary hart run, but he is working on kerry's campaign so i'm not sure if he would run. how about that democratic guy who ran for senate in 2002 ? whoever the democratic candidate is needs to push the environmental issue in that state.

2. The Senate looks tough..
be feasable.

Colorado, Illinois, and Alaska are all real potential. And Pennsylvania, if we're really eager to get-out-the-vote.

If we can limit the losses of Senate seats in the South, we could conceivably do this. And if the Senate ends-up 50-50 again, our new VP can stick around to break ties, lol..

3. PA all depends on the GOP primary
If its Tomney we have a chance, but we may have a fairly good one with Specter too, he often struggles during election years.

5. Please, let us win the Senate, and WH also.
We need to win one. With the Senate we can stop some of the nonsense and investigate to uncover nearly everything they're doing.

In retrospect, Clinton made a big mistake dropping investigations to gain Republican good-will, bipartisanship. Instead, it was like we stopped taking antibiotics too soon and they mutatated into something worse.

With the WH we can accomplish more, but, the infection won't be cured.
