If the Pubs hit 50... who's the biggest risk to FLIP?

[GSLevel9]

Lieberman? Conrad?

[Cronus Protagonist]

1. Lieberman can be bought easily

Just let him know you support a war against Iran and he's golden.

[Ozymanithrax]

2. Lieberman's chances of beig elcted again don't look good.

Becoming a Republican could be his ticket to another six years.

[ProSense]

3. What on earth makes you think Lieberman and Conrad want to be Republicans?

What?

Better question: What on earth gives you the idea that Republicans will hit 50?

[SteppingRazor]

4. I dunno about either of them flipping, but the GOP picking up 9 is within the realm of possibilities

They're gonna get at least 7, I think. If they get all those plus Wash. and W. Va., there you go.

6. well ProSense...

I personally don't think they CAN hit 50... I'm thinking 47-48.

But then I thought that if it REALLY is a tidal wave as the M$M claims... 50 is possible.

As was said above, Lieberman can't win as an I or a D in the future... and if he's going to retire anyways he might want to go out with more power. Conrad... always thought he acted like a Pub anyways...

[ProSense]

8. I don't buy it.

This is unproductive.

5. Nelson

n/t

[GSLevel9]

7. mmmm... yeah he might be the biggest risk after Lieberman, nt

[wmbrew0206]

9. Could be either Nelson.

Bill Nelson of Florida might not be as lucky with an opponent in the next election as he was last time. He has always been a DINO anyway.

[craigmatic]

10. Scott Brown because they'll pull him to the right and make him unelectable.

If he doesn't change parties outright we'll pick it up in 2012.
