Try to beat up anymore teenagers lately there Rocko?

As for November, establishment candidates will be replaced by more establishment candidates. The only difference is more will have a (R) next to their name instead of a (D).

Besides the cheat shot, I think you made half a point. I think all incumbent have obstacles. I am personally voting for a few Ds (my House Rep has a pretty conservative record on taxes, spending and immigration and right in line with me on abortion, gay marriage and gun rights, my main issues and her opponent is a god's gift to her, he is a dumbass and Jesse White to name a few) and a few Republicans (Kirk - a Moderate, some call him a RINO) and the R Cook County Assessor (name evades me at the moment). I am still torn on IL Governor, I hate Quinn, Quinn is horrendous. Worse than Blago. But Brady is horrendous also. Not anywhere near as bad, but hit extreme stance on some social issues are very troubling to me. I am tempted to toss my vote away on the 3rd party Libertarian candidate, but then against I can't take a 4% income tax increase (2% Fed with the Bush Tax cut expiring and the 2% increase Quinn is running on).

And this mindset is what's wrong with this country today. That voting for a third party is "tossing" your vote away.

This just might be the first election where that might change. If enough people "toss their votes away" on 3rd parties. they might end up sticking.

I wish it wasn't, but that is the fact. My voting for the Libertarian candidate would be a vote for Quinn!

Let's face it, until a prominent Democrat or Republican jumps ship and follows a third party movement, we'll never see the two party system diminished. Here's to hoping Hillary has the moxy to attempt it.

They certainly have the star power and money.

I think Republicans are going to pick up seats, but not as many as they think they are.

and the fact is, unless another prominent republican does the same thing, then all it would do is insure a GOP victory

Which is why they wouldn't. Bill and Hillary are well established at the top level of the party. Bill's probably the most popular figure of it today in fact.

I just watched network a few weeks ago. Good movie.

As for 2010 it seems like my dream of incumbents getting the boot from both parties may just have a chance of happening .

but strange how HIS popularity didn't transfer to HER

Bill is a proven leader and charismatic. Hillary is still quite popular, just not quite as popular as Bill. In fact, it would be difficult for any President these days alive or in the future to be as popular Bill is in my opinion.

how is realism a flaw?

Ohio has severe economic troubles and a variety of corruption scandals. Gov. Strickland (D) is a goner; Kasich (R) will win. Sen. Brown (D) is safe for two more years but Voinovich (R) is retiring in 2010. Fischer (D) will get his seat. Never underestimate the Party Machine in Ohio and the Republicans haven't campaigned well for this seat.

My Rep is Dennis Kucinich (D). He might survive; he's pretty popular here. The buzz in Cleveland ain't about national offices, for the most part -- it's all local. The FBI has been collecting Democratic scalps here for two years.

Fisher is not going to win, not in this environment. No Democrat is going to capture a Senate seat currently held by a Republican this year.

Portman has an 8 point lead right now

Portman is ahead in the polls, and it's a Republican year. I'd say Portman is a lock for that Senate seat.
