1. Hmm good but the chances of us picking up this seat seems slim.

3. Is there anybody decent that can run for his seat?

Last year I really felt like this state was going to turn blue - but now I'm beginning to wonder.

4. I'm not in his district, but I know one DUer who is.

:evilgrin:

6. May be slim but if a credible candidate is found it would require

the Republican candidate to spend campaign funds. And possibly force the state and national party to spend funds for that campaign.

2. Uh oh-you know what that means-the media will report that the Dems. are in a tail-spin!

Why? Because they might not pick up that seat. Watch that be the spin.
