Most Likely 2008 Race

[Alcon]

I was going to make this...and with good timing.

Who do you think the most likely match-up will be, and who do you think will win it? This combines the theme of multiple threads into one, which I do not think we have had before.

I say Bayh (D-IN) vs. Owens (R-CO).



Bayh 348
Owens 190

Or at least I can hope...

[Alcon]

Noooo... I posted my version of this before I saw yours:) Anyways, I think it'll be Bayh vs. Sanford.

As to your map, no way Bayh carries South Dakota.

After Kerry's surprise 59% in South Dakota, I believe it will be Bayh's strongest state.

Stop putting virginia in the democrat column, unless warner gets a good showing and the republicans have some sort of disaster, its not going to happen

Bayh is a populist, and a midwesterner. This would play well in rural Virginia. Against Governor Owens, I think he has a good choice of carrying it.

Bayh vs. Pataki

You are seriously overestimating the effect of regional location on electoral performance.

[Alcon]

It should be noted that Bayh was one of 13 Senators to vote against Rice's confirmation. That might change your mind about Bayh's chances in some of those states.

Is anyone else extremely bored by the prospet of Bayh vs. Owens?

Kucinich vs. Santorum would be fun.

I doubt that "he voted against confirming Condaleeza Rice!" will be a major deal. Not sure why he did it, in any case.

I may not agree with you, but I must give you kudos for managing to be a, well, Communist in Nebraska. Where in the state are you?

[Alcon]

Wow, this discussion is highly productive.

Wrong.

[Alcon]

Gee, thanks for bumping this

[Alcon]

Gee, thanks for bumping this

It's all in good fun, my dear friend.

But, seriously.

South Dakota - Safe Bayh.
