It's gonna be a cat-fight between Chris Christie and Rand Paul, who is trying to sound sane these days. Rick Santorum (Google it!) will try to steal some oxygen, as will Texas Twin Dopes Perry and Cruz. Maybe the empty suit from Florida will run, too. It gets all their speaking fees up. Because there are always going to be dopes who spend $1000 per ticket to get up close and personal with Newt Gingrich.so is Republicorp going to run Lyin' Ryan at the top of the ticket in '16?
We know they won't bankroll Paul because he is against Repub crony capitalism in re: their being attached at the hip to defense contractors.
News this morning reporting that Romney now leads in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Colorado. And he has closed the gap to 1 in Ohio.
That's right, Romney now leads in 3 of the most radical left-wing states in the union. The only thing more shocking would be if he took California!

Do you think he can beat Obama this time?

Think again, John Boehner says impeachment is off the table.
Instead, I think John is just going to sue Berry. How much money do you think John can get out of him?
Democrats have million-dollar day on impeachment
WASHINGTON (AP) House Democrats are cashing in on chatter that Republicans are plotting to impeach President Barack Obama, raising $1 million on Monday alone, their campaign chief said Tuesday.
you mean "How much money do you think John can get out of taxpayers?"Do you think he can beat Obama this time?

How'd it turn out?
JakeStarkey ............remember this?We will start with the next election. We will pick up more seats in the House and take the Senate.
I will remind you then, just as I did daveman and the far wacks three years ago that the day would come when we in the mainstream of the GOP were going to rise up and expel them.
You should pick up some seats in the Senate but taking it?
According to Wiki, its 55/45 which is really 56-45 if you count the VP. So you need to make up 6 seats not 5. Twenty Democratic seats are up in 2014 and 13 GOP seats are up for grabs. The Washington Post listed the ten most vulnerable Senate seats; 9 are Democrat seats, one is the GOP.
10. Kentucky (Republican-controlled): The only GOP-held seat on this list will be tough for Democrats to pursue; after all, its Kentucky. But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) isnt quite bulletproof back home. A recent poll showed he has a 51 percent approval rating and a 42 percent disapproval. Whats more, Democrats have some big names that could run against him. Gov. Steve Beshear (D) just won a resounding reelection victory in 2011 and cant run again in 2015. Other Democrats being mentioned include actress Ashley Judd (who has suddenly become more politically active) and Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes.
9. Colorado (Democratic-controlled): Sen. Mark Udalls (D-Colo.) middle-of-the-road approval rating in a swing state makes this first-term senator one to watch in 2014. Rep. Cory Gardner (R) and former lieutenant governor Jane Norton (who ran for the Republican Senate nomination and lost in 2010) are two names to watch in Colorado if Republicans feel like they can knock off the incumbent. Gardner, in particular, is seen as the next big thing for the state GOP. Does he go after Udall or wait for Sen. Michael
Bennet (D) in 2016?
8. New Hampshire (D): Democrats in New Hampshire had a big year in 2012, knocking off the states two GOP congressmen and holding the governors seat. In 2014, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D) will be up for a second term. Amazingly, the buzz seems to be that former senator John Sununu (R) might attempt a comeback, which would set up a third consecutive race between the two of them. Sununu won the first, while Shaheen won the second. Shaheen has pretty solid numbers, though, and incumbency matters.
7. Minnesota (D): Sen. Al Franken (D) won this seat by 312 votes in one of the best Democratic years in modern memory in 2008. He will have to defend it in President Obamas second term mid-term (a.k.a. six-year itch) election with national Republicans and conservatives gunning for him like no one else on the Democratic side. Former governor Tim Pawlenty, who would have likely been Republicans best candidate, seems off the table now that he is a lobbyist. Rep. Michele Bachmann will be mentioned, but that prospect should send shivers down the spines of GOP strategists; her statewide numbers are terrible. We could see a rematch of Franken vs. former senator Norm Coleman (R), and also keep an eye on Rep. Erik Paulsen (R), who comes from the the best place to live in the entire country (and hometown of this Deputy Fix): Eden Prairie, Minn.
6. Arkansas (D): Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) basically got a pass in 2008, but Arkansas continues to drift toward Republicans (they now control all four of its House seats), and now-Sen. John Boozman (R) beat Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) like a rented mule in 2010 (21 points!). Dont expect Pryor to skate by again. The top name being mentioned to run against him appears to be Rep. Tim Griffin (R), a well-regarded former congressional aide who first won his seat in 2010.
5. Montana (D): When an incumbent runs radio ads out of cycle, its a sure sign that a trouble could be brewing. Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) did just that earlier this year, signalling that he is prepared for what could be a tough reelection race. The Senate Finance Committee chairman has served in the Senate since 1978, but he saw his popularity plummet when he headed up the effort to pass Obamas health-care bill. Popular outgoing Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D) has been mentioned as a potential primary challenger, but Schweitzer appears to have his sights set higher than the Senate. As for the general election, Republicans will have to do some soul-searching (and recruiting) after Rep. Denny Rehbergs (R) loss to Sen. Jon Tester (D) on Tuesday. Rehberg has now lost two Senate campaigns, to both Tester and Baucus, so Republicans will probably look elsewhere.
4. Louisiana (D): The Bayou State has turned heavily Republican in the past few election cycles, and even before that transformation was complete, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) was a major Republican target every six years. Landrieu has never broken 52 percent in any of her three races for the Senate despite the fact that Republicans have fielded B-team candidates (at best) against her. Rep. Bill Cassidy (R) seems to be putting the pieces (and money) in place to challenge Landrieu, setting up a marquee race.
3. North Carolina (D): Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) could face a tough time in 2014 running in a state that gave its 15 electoral votes to Mitt Romney, elected a Republican governor, and netted the GOP at least three seats in the House. Whats more, Hagans approval rating is nothing to write home about. Democratic automated pollster Public Policy Polling found earlier this month that just 35 percent approved of the job she was doing, while 37 percent disapproved. Hagan, who unseated Republican Elizabeth Dole in 2008, should be among the senators most at risk in 2014.
2. Alaska (D): Sen. Mark Begich (D) beat longtime Sen. Ted Stevens (R) in 2008 when the late senator was caught up in some ethics issues, and now Begich has to hold a state that has long been a GOP stronghold and just went for Mitt Romney by double digits (55-42). Possible GOP opponents include Gov. Sean Parnell, Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell, and 2010 nominee Joe Miller, who beat Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) in a 2010 primary, but lost when Murkowski ran in the general election as a write-in candidate. Begich and Parnell recently got into a personal squabble over drilling in the Arctic reserve. Miller was hugely unpopular at the end of the 2010 general election.
1. South Dakota (D): Whether or not Sen. Tim Johnson (D) retires, this seat looks to be a prime pickup opportunity for Republicans. Popular former GOP governor Mike Rounds has already formed an exploratory committee for the Senate and would be formidable either against Johnson or for an open seat. If Rounds passes, which seems unlikely, Republicans would likely turn to Rep. Kristi Noem, who has held the states only congressional seat since 2010. If Johnson steps aside, look for Democrats to turn to former congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, whom Noem unseated in 2010 but remains well-regarded.

And I think he missed one of the most vulnerable Senators; Jay Rockefeller.
What the Post also missed was the GOP tendency to cut off it's nose to spite it's face. Susan Collins is probably public enemy #1 with the TEA party and will be targeted in 2014. She won her seat with 60+ percent of the vote. So if you remove her in the primary, the Democrat likely has a better chance of whomever is put up by the TEA party to run as a republican. The same thing is likely to happen in Tennessee with Lamar Alexander. So the 6 seats the conservatives need to gain control may not be as easy to acquire as you think.
The GOP did it to itself... Sharon Angle, Chistine O'Donnell, Akin, Mourdoch, and Linda McMahon were selected by GOP voters.... Political Scientist will look back on this with utter shock that the GOP with one breath said that the elections are vitally important then turned around and nominated this motley crew of people.
