Almost half of the Republican members of the Senate face reelection in less than 2 years. This party of obstruction and illegal war can be properly downsized if voters are aware of the issues.
Republican Senators up for re-election in 2010.
* Richard Shelby of Alabama
* Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
* John McCain of Arizona
* Mel Martinez of Florida -- will not run
* Johnny Isakson of Georgia
* Mike Crapo of Idaho
* Chuck Grassley of Iowa -- ?
* Sam Brownback of Kansas -- will not run
* Jim Bunning of Kentucky
* David Vitter of Louisiana
* Kit Bond of Missouri -- will not run
* Judd Gregg of New Hampshire
* Richard Burr of North Carolina
* George Voinovich of Ohio -- will not run
* Tom Coburn of Oklahoma -- ?
* Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania -- ?
* Jim DeMint of South Carolina
* John Thune of South Dakota
* Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas -- may retire to run for Gov.
* Bob Bennett of Utah
I'm not familiar with all these senators, so I'd love to hear your opinions. Which ones do you think will be a shoe in? Which ones will have problems?
And, do you think McCain will have re-election problems? Sometimes I wonder if he'll end up a scapegoat. I think Jim DeMint has it in for him, and DeMint is pretty powerful.

Burr and Gregg are the only two I would think are in danger..
Either way, I wish every Republican would be voted out of office all across the nation, that way the Democrats can ruin the country on their own, and learn something called accepting the consequences of their actions.
Better yet, since Republican views are differing and therefore wrong, all Republicans should be rounded up and sent somewhere so they can concentrate on learning the 'right' way of doing things. Not sure what we would call these places of concentration.. It is better if everyone was a Democrat, that way no more questions or scrutiny would be requested, and any law/bill/bailout can pass with absolutely no question, review, or obstruction.

Nah, that's not how things work. Let's imagine every Republican mysteriously disappeared. Would we then have unity? Hell, no! The democratic party would immediately split. There's a lot of diversity in the party--the only way it stays united is to have a common enemy. Remove the enemy, and the party splits.

I think you're onto something there. During the primaries the Obama vs. Clinton fiasco was hellish. It was funny because at that point, the Democratic party was headed towards self-destruction while McCain took advantage of the situation.
Divide an conquer. I like that strategy, and will be sure to remember it in 2012. Makes me wonder; if the Republican party did shrink down in 2010 and after, would the Democrats split? Sounds to me like the Democrats need the GOP more than they are willing to admit.

Bingo! And, vice versa. The GOP needs to dems every bit as much.

I'm with you on this.
