24 GOP Senate seats up for grabs in 2016.

[RedCloud]

Let's make life tough for them instead of bemoaning and disclaiming GOP poop stories.

Since the GOP is friends with international business and US turncoats, how about a consumer revolt to get rid of pathetic quality products made overseas off the shelves?

Or friends with banks. What if everybody showed up at GOP loving banks demanding their money fearing the GOP friends were going to steal it? It's my money and I want it NOW!

And make Obama "betray" them by publicly proclaiming Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are out of the discussion because the GOP did not honestly campaign that they were going to eradicate them.

More ideas?

I am feeling somewhat mischievous today.

1. Not a bad idea.

Give a list of specifically what he will and won't veto these next two years.

I'd love to see a presser:

I will; I repeat, I will veto anything, anything coming to my desk that threatens social security, medicare, and medicaid. I will veto anything that _______________, and I will veto anything that _____________. I will work with congress on any other issues they choose to bring to me, but I will not put those programs on the block no matter how many times the GOP tries to gut them.

2. As I noted under another OP, Portman is going to be a really tough guy to unseat in Ohio.

The party is going to need to find another Sherrod Brown type to even have a chance of unseating him. Another fighter, who is strongly in labour's corner. I'd suggest trying to recruit a union leader who has been in-state for a while asap, and start passing the word now between unions to get them all coordinating to get their members passing the word throughout their communities.

3. Make damn sure we have good solid candidates up for every spot. Now.

Take notes on the incumbants, how they vote, what they say, who they are pictured with, trips that they take, how much time they spend doing what. Nail them, every last one of them.

4. Let's start with some new party leadership.

Someone who can devote every waking minute to winning the WH and taking back the Senate.

Someone like Howard Dean!!!

Success in two years would be the best revenge.

5. Looks very good

Possible pickup opportunities

Arizona (McCain retires)
Illinois (Kirk doesn't run for reelection)
Iowa Grassley (retires)
Missouri (Blunt)
North Carolina (Burr)
Ohio (Portman)
Pennsylvania (Toomey)
Wisconsin (Ron Johnson)

Possible seats to defend

Colorado (Bennett)
Nevada (Reid)

An awfully good map.

6. I think Reid will retire

If the Democrats had held on to the Senate, he might have run again, however since he will spend the next two years as Senate Minority leader, he will probably chose to retire, especially if he might face a tough challenger from the right.

8. This is going out on a limb, but...

...I think if Wesley Clark ran against Boozman in Arkansas, we'd have a fighting chance of picking that one up.

7. How many Dem seats? nt

[JCMach1]

9. Just 10... and the Republican overreach is starting to kick in already...

Obama needs to do everything to insure the Republicans get kicked in the teeth in 2016.
