If after the elections we are tied or within a vote in either house are there any Republican we could flip?

1. Do you think Castle would flip. He's pretty moderate.
Afterall, he's pretty much made from the same mold as Carper and Biden. I really don't expect him to lose to either Spivak (D) or Berg (G).

2. I would say Sue Collins and Olympia Snowe
The senators from Maine, both of whom could get elected from either party. They also have the advantage of being the most liberal GOPers, and Collins is retiring after this term, so she doesn't have to worry about long-term consequences or any kind of retribution.

3. Chaffee's the best bet.
I think he would have flipped in 2002 if it would have made a difference. Flipping could buy him a lot in terms of chairmanships & other power deals.

5. Certainly not Hastert. You'd need a forklift to flip him. n/m
