Senate Forecast Looking Sunny for Dems
From the LA Times:
Bottom-line: barring a major reversal of political trends, Democrats not only are poised to build on the narrow Senate majority they surprisingly captured in the 2006 election, they could substantially expand it.
They're going to need a substantial expansion. It takes 60 votes in the Senate to get anything done, due to procedural rules, and a 51-member majority, when one of those members is Joe Lieberman, just isn't going to cut it. The vulnerable seats:
- Virginia, where Republican John Warner is leaving and Democrat Mark Warner (no relation) will mount a strong challenge.
- Nebraska, where Republican Chuck Hagel is leaving and Democrat Bob Kerrey will mount a strong challenge if he gets in.
- Colorado, where Republican Wayne Allard is leaving and Democrat Mark Udall will mount a strong challenge.
- And Maine, New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Oregon, where Republican incumbents are particularly vulnerable.
That's seven states. Then you've got a bunch where a Republican incumbent is kinda sorta vulnerable: New Mexico, Alaska, and Kentucky. No promises there, but still: looking good, folks.

Ben, Ben, Ben. YOU must be one of the "officially non-protected" groups. Sorry, you don't count for anything anymore. Remember, not EVERYBODY is equal, ok? And, didn’t you get the memo: You are apparently still one of those "liberals". TRUE Democrats are now “Progressives”. You are talking about a totally different party now, sorry.
Don't forget though, if the Republicans win, “they're gonna GIT YA”, just so you remember who to vote for in 2008. Plus, if you vote Democratic, all the party insiders will get to have even MORE contact with “elite media celebrities.” You don’t what to miss THAT do ya?
Sure is nice having two parties run by the wealthy, isn't it?

Ben James, you are so right. But don't forget the Bilderbergers Group. Senator Clinton went to their last meeting. The Trilateral Commission was exposed by Senator Goldwater. Rockfeller is on top of that. Soon we will lose our sovereignty to the globalists. Then they will reduce our population. Time to Lock and Load.

As a lifelong democrat and since our liberal democrats are no longer for working Americans and instead are totally controlled by aipac and their agents over here, it's a shame we are gaining any. With the democrats wanting to open our borders and coddle racist LaRaza and Naacp, I would hope we could work together to get rid of open borders kennedy, obama, hillary and any CFR people who are for bringing about the end of america. When did the "liberal" of which I was one when they were for American's working people, good jobs, universal healthcare, a manufacturing base - when did they become a pandering bunch of sob's only interested in what Israel wants and passing hate crimes and anti-gun laws. This bunch are not democrats, not liberals - they are traitor globalists.
