Indiana - Luger is up for re-election. If he runs, he's a shoe-in, but he'll be 76, so be thinking of a possible candidate. Massachusetts- If Kennedy retires, the Dems better get a good replacement lined up so we don't lose it to Weld or Romney. West Virginia - If Byrd retires, the Dems will need a solid candidate in this right-leaning state. Maine- Snowe is up for re-election, and a conservative could challenge her in the primaries. If so, we'll need a solid candidate ready. Mississippi- Lott's up for re-election. Apparently, the Mississippi AG Mike Moore is pretty tough and may run against him/ Pennsylvania- Santorum. WE NEED to win this one. Maybe Gov Rendell could step up? Ed seems like a good guy. Missouri- Talent's a freshman, moderate state, room for an upset. Nevada- Ensign's up for re-election. Nevada almost went for Kerry, this should be looked into. Ohio- DeWine is very moderate, but vulnerable. Rep. Ted Strickland is from southeast Ohio (red area), so he could appeal to rural voters, plus he's tough, smart, a good speaker and progressive. I think he could run for president though, so maybe Columbus Mayor Coleman or Rep Brown. Rhode Island- Chafee's up for re-election, who knows if he'll even run as a republican. He might run as a dem, or not at all. Keep out eyes on this one. Tennessee- If Frist doesn't run, Harold Ford could try for it, and have a good chance. Texas - Hutchinson might run for Governor, so this seat would be open. Maybe Ron Kirk could run again. Virginia- George Allen. NeoCon, get Mark Warner after this guy. This would be a HUGE win, and possible.
