Senate Races 2006.

I think the Democrats should put more focus on the House but they need to do a better job of refining the blue states into pure Democratic senators. Make a big deal in Maine and RI and go for the jugular of Olympia Snowe and Lincoln Chafee. It will be a project for the stronger than ever New England Democrats to go for. If the Democrats stick it to them they can pull of John Thune's. Just look what Tom Carper did in Delaware in 2000. Try the same strategy in Pennsylvania and there may be a pickup there. The Democrats need to do a better job of identiying the Jim Bunning types earlier so they can wear and tear against them (which was what the NH Democrats succeeded in with the Lynch campaign). The Democrats should field strong candidates in Arizona, Nevada, and Virginia to organize and register new voters before sacrifices will be made in 2008.
