Assuming we win five GOP Senate seats...where do we get the sixth

[WI_DEM]

Poll question: Assuming we win five GOP Senate seats...where do we get the sixth

to win control of the chamber?

Let's assume we hold all of our incumbent and open seats (NJ, MD, MN)and win these GOP Senate seats: Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana, and Missouri. We still need one more seat to gain control of the upper chamber. Which of these seats do you think is most doable?

[AX10]

1. Ford or Webb.

Also we have alot of work to do in New Jersey just to keep out seat. Maryland might be a problem too.

[WI_DEM]

2. I agree that NJ is uncomfortably close, but I think MD will be ok in

the end. MN is looking like a lock according to recent polls.

[AX10]

6. We will win MN.

A poll came out today that puts Steele (R) ahead by 1 in Maryland.

3. i'm thinking we'll get Ford AND Webb n/t

[Coexist]

4. Webb - possibly Ford -

it would be nice to get both - don't know how well we are doing in NJ.

5. Ford and Webb.

7. If Lamont beats Lieberman...

Can we count that as an unofficial pickup?

[WI_DEM]

8. In a sense yes, I think he would be a more dependable Dem vote

[Coexist]

10. I don't - not after all that GOP cash in his pocket

I think the bridges are burned.

11. What Lamont has GOP cash?

[Coexist]

18. sorry - I read that backwards

I thought it was asking if Lieberman beats Lamont, would that be another Dem pickup - my bad.

9. I think that Jack Carter will be a dark horse--an unexpected win

[AX10]

20. What do you see occuring in these next 46 days that could...

swing this election to Carter?

[Caution]

12. if we take 5 GOP seats it won't matter since the filibuster will become

a truly potent weapon again. With those 5 seats in our hands, there would be no way the repukes could change the Senate rules to abolish the filibuster as well.

[AX10]

21. The GOP would control the chamber still via Cheney.

Still, the Filibuster would become very powerful as the GOP's power will be diminished and they will need the Democrats cooperation to get things done.

13. I don't know if

Claire McCaskill in Missouri is a lock over incumbent Republican Jim Talent. A brief google search to find latest poll results indicates they are essentially tied at this point.

14. Pederson is really gaining ground on Kyl

I didn't realize how close this race was. I think Ford and Webb both have great shots at winning, and if Pederson could win too, that would be fantastic.

15. Ford Will Win! Stick a Fork in Corker, He's Done! ....Link Thread

When this comes out, Corker is a goner. Been on Paper's Page One for last two days.

[FogerRox]

16. I think there are 8-9 seats in play, just not sure.

Its seems some senate seats are still Dynamic.

17. Harold Ford is our best shot.

I seriously doubt Webb will beat Macaca Allen. He made it close, and while a Webb victory is not out of the question, I'll be surprised (pleasantly) if he wins.

A friend of mine said yesterday, "Webb's not a Democrat; he's just a pissed-off Republican."

19. I'm betting Ford will impress the hell out of people in his debate

and it will be on to the Senate from there.

[Swamp Rat]

22. Macaca Allen is openly ashamed to be of Jewish heritage.

He will lose his seat. :)
