(38,064 posts)Better to put our money and time on house seats that can be won. Example - I live in NJ. Ed Potosnak ran in 2010 against a career politician Republican. I think this time - Ed can win. There's heavy anti-incumbent attitudes running in NJ . . . Remember - a bunch of idiots voted for Chris Christie, they now regret it, and they want to take it out on the IndieTeaPublicans that represent them in Washington. So we lose that Senate seat in Nebraska . . . but imagine if we can pick up several seats in NJ.
Joe Lieberman's seat in CT is up - we have four solid Candidates up there (Susan Bysiewicz, Chris Murphy, William Tong, Lee Whitnum) if they can keep it clean on their way to the nomination. Linda McMahon will buy the nomination again - and she'll lose. I think people see TEA for what it is now . . .
I also think Elizabeth Warren will wipe the floor with Brown in Massachusetts.
We'll replace Nelson with a solid Democratic in the North East. I'd rather see the money going to a place where we can go ovaries to the walls and win it. Nebraska is probably a lost cause.
