Sweet…All the “swing states” for Senate are swinging to the GOP…
1) Republicans are solidfying their “no lose” states of NC, NH, KY, and FL. The only questionable ones are now OH and Missouri.
2) Further, they have very good chances of picking up NV, CN, CO, and PA. Further, they have at least an outside shot of picking up
IL and AR.
3) Finally, with the right candidate (i.e. Hoeven of ND, Castle of DE, Giuliani of NY) we could pick up even more
Net, at minimum, we should pick up 4 seats and we could get up to 10 if we can get all the right candidates in place while Obama continues his downward spiral…
