What GOP Senators Can We Get Out in 2006?
Following GOP Senators are up for reelection in 2006.

Allen, George - (R - VA)
Burns, Conrad - (R - MT)
Chafee, Lincoln - (R - RI)
DeWine, Mike - (R - OH)
Ensign, John - (R - NV)
Frist, Bill - (R - TN)
Hatch, Orrin - (R - UT)
Hutchison, Kay - (R - TX)
Kyl, Jon - (R - AZ)
Lott, Trent - (R - MS)
Lugar, Richard - (R - IN)
Santorum, Rick - (R - PA)
Snowe, Olympia - (R - ME)
Talent, James - (R - MO)
Thomas, Craig - (R - WY)

Chafee is a RINO who may switch party affiliation between now and 2006. Jeffords is already talking with him. Same with Snowe, though that's a real long shot. Frist has already formed a 2008 Presidential Exploratory Committee, so if we could field a strong candidate (Bredesen?) against him in 2006 we could put a damper on his chances. Hatch and Lugar both might not run for reelection, but getting a Dem elected in either IN or UT might be a tough sell. Santorum might be vulnerable in PA. Anyone know about any of the others?

Someone should also put together a list of GOP House members up in 2006. If we're to have any chance at the White House in 2008 we need to gain momentum in the 2006 midterms.

4. Start with Santorum and DeWine!!
The first one is a whacko twit and the other the Bush family pet. Certainly the Dem parties of PA and OH can come up with better choices!
