1. Lieberman can be bought easily

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

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

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

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?

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...

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.

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.
