National Journal handicaps Senate 2006 race - Dems could win it back!
http://nationaljournal.com/todd.htm

From article:

"With just under 18 months to go until Election Day 2006, things continue to look up for Senate Democrats. The ingredients -- violence in Iraq, the uneven economy and partisan tension -- are there for the party to make a comeback after two cycles of GOP dominance."

<snip>

"We've been writing for months that at some point, Iraq was going to hurt the Republicans as much as it helped them in 2002. They lucked out in 2004, but 2006 is a whole new ballgame. With at least six legitimate targets for the Democrats, the Senate is officially in play for the first time this cycle"

1. it will take 60+ percent of the votes to win with this corrupt system.
to win or make it so obvious that there is no immediate denying the corruption.

if the dems can ever win this shit back maybe we can fix the voting system. but, it may be over already.

2. No. The fixing happens AFTER the votes are tallied. Ergo, no matter
how many votes go to a Dem, the tally is fixed after the fact to show the GOP won.
