9. Even though he is supposedly an 'independent' I would definitely add Joe LIEberman

to that list. Also Tom Coburn.

I would also like to see Tom Delay finally go to jail, and Newt Gingrich with a ball gag. But I digress.

10. I'm concentrating on Richard Burr here in NC.
We have a couple of really good Democratic contenders this go-round who I think can give him a run for his money. I'd be proud to support whoever wins the primary in May.

8. Here in Ohio Where Targeting John Boehner and the Open Race For the US Senate Seat!!
Right now we have a heated primary battle between SOS Jennifer Brunner and Lt Gov Lee Fisher! I am throwing my support behind SOS Jennifer Brunner. I am not sure of the Republican Candidate. Good Shot for us to pick up a seat. I encourage you all to donate Jenniferbrunner.com!!!

11. Aren't They Clever?
They picked the most vulnerable Senate seats so they can claim victory without having meaningful effect on the outcome.

I don't know about the House seats but Ala Grayson will spend his opponent into oblivion.
