Where is there a list of house and senate seats up for election in '06?

We need to start working on the midterms right now. We simply can't afford to fold like the dems did last time. We need to provide serious challanges in every race and I think we should even provide serious challanges to conservative democrats.

3. Good question

However, re: incumbent conservative Democrats: Nominating a more liberal candidate in a conservative district could well lead to losing the seat to the Republican challenger. Being the majority part in the house carries a lot of power. Take back the house, get a comfortable majority, then worry about replacing conservative Democrats.

Note that the Republican establishment strongly supported Arlen Spector in his primary challenge by Toomey, even though Toomey is a card carrying conservative and Spector is a RINO - maintaining a majority was more important in a closely divided senate than the risk of losing a seat.

4. You got a point there

and many more conservative dems while they may not agree with us on everything are often than not democratic partisans just more conservative.

5. Very true but I think we must ask our selves

do we care? IMO it is better to challage with real liberals then to live with DINOs.

I've now added the percentage these senators received in 2000 and sorted them accordingly. I've now also added the percentage comparison to the percentage the presidential candidate of that party received in 2000. Read: In West Virginia Byrd got 32 more than Gore did.
