The Senate's offical website has the ability to sort by class, here are the Senators whose term expires in 2007: http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/reference/two_column_table/Class_I.htm Title: Re: 2006 Question Post by: Siege40 on November 15, 2004, 10:37:33 PM Actually no, I didn't realize that. The reason being is cause I am an ignorant lout. Oh my, how embarrassing. Thanks KEmperor for helping my out on that one. But yes, I want to know the Senate too.

He already said he was an ignorant lout, no need to point out he is Candian. Seriously, the following senate seats are contested in 2006: ARIZONA - JOHN KYL (R) CALIFORNIA - DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D) CONNECTICUT - JOE LIEBERMAN (D) DELAWARE - TOM CARPER (D) FLORIDA - BILL NELSON (D) HAWAII - DANIEL AKAKA (D) INDIANA - RICHARD LUGAR (R) MAINE - OLYMPIA SNOWE (R) MARYLAND - PAUL SARBANES (D) MASSACHUSETTES - EDWARD M KENNEDY (D) MICHIGAN - DEBBIE STABENOW (R) MINNESOTA - MARK DAYTON (D) MISSISSIPPI - TRENT LOTT (R) MISSOURI - JIM TALENT (R) MONTANA - CONRAD BURNS (R) NEBRASKA - BEN NELSON (D) NEVADA - JOHN ENSIGN (R) NEW JERSEY - JON CORZINE (D) NEW MEXICO - JEFF BINGAMAN (D) NEW YORK - HILLARY CLINTON (D) NORTH DAKOTA - KENT CONRAD (D) OHIO - MIKE DEWINE (R) PENNSYLVANIA - RICK SANTORUM (R) RHODE ISLAND - LINCOLN CHAFEE (R) TENNESSEE - BILL FRIST (R) TEXAS - KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON (R) UTAH - ORRIN HATCH (R) VERMONT - JIM JEFFORDS (I) VIRGINIA - GEORGE ALLEN (R) WASHINGTON - MARIA CANTWELL (D) WEST VIRGINIA - ROBERT C BYRD (D) WISCONSIN - HERB KOHL (D) WYOMING - CRAIG THOMAS (R) Title: Re: 2006 Question Post by: stry_cat on November 16, 2004, 08:26:26 AM ARIZONA - JOHN KYL (R)
CALIFORNIA - DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D) -Given the poor performance of Bush in California will the Republicans even contest this seat? CONNECTICUT - JOE LIEBERMAN (D) -Looserman is still arround? Oh it is Connecticut that explains it. DELAWARE - TOM CARPER (D) FLORIDA - BILL NELSON (D) -Will he be the next southern democrat to go down to defeat? HAWAII - DANIEL AKAKA (D) INDIANA - RICHARD LUGAR (R) MAINE - OLYMPIA SNOWE (R) - Isn't she a RHINO? Will she be targeted in the primary? MARYLAND - PAUL SARBANES (D) - Same question as California. MASSACHUSETTES - EDWARD M KENNEDY (D) - Same question as California. MICHIGAN - DEBBIE STABENOW (R) Who? An R from Michigan? Bye bye. MINNESOTA - MARK DAYTON (D) MISSISSIPPI - TRENT LOTT (R) He's still around?!? Oh it's mississippi that explains it. MISSOURI - JIM TALENT (R) MONTANA - CONRAD BURNS (R) NEBRASKA - BEN NELSON (D) NEVADA - JOHN ENSIGN (R) NEW JERSEY - JON CORZINE (D) NEW MEXICO - JEFF BINGAMAN (D) NEW YORK - HILLARY CLINTON (D) NORTH DAKOTA - KENT CONRAD (D) A repeat of South Dakota? OHIO - MIKE DEWINE (R) PENNSYLVANIA - RICK SANTORUM (R) Seems out of step with Pennsylvania, but I'm guessing he'll win. RHODE ISLAND - LINCOLN CHAFEE (R) Another RHINO that will be targeted. TENNESSEE - BILL FRIST (R) TEXAS - KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON (R) UTAH - ORRIN HATCH (R) VERMONT - JIM JEFFORDS (I) VIRGINIA - GEORGE ALLEN (R) Oh I see why he flip-flopped on the Clinton gun ban. WASHINGTON - MARIA CANTWELL (D) WEST VIRGINIA - ROBERT C BYRD (D) WISCONSIN - HERB KOHL (D) WYOMING - CRAIG THOMAS (R) So by my completely uninformed opinion - R's start with 16 and will keep 13. D's start with 17 (inc the I) and will keep 15. That leaves 5 that can change. Thoughts? Title: Re: 2006 Question Post by: NHPolitico on November 16, 2004, 08:45:51 AM CALIFORNIA - DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D) -Given the poor performance of Bush in California will the Republicans even contest this seat? No, if she runs. I think that might be a big if. FLORIDA - BILL NELSON (D) -Will he be the next southern democrat to go down to defeat? It would be tough to beat him. We didn't beat Graham. He retired. I think that was instrumental in the pick-up. All of those seats we picked up in the South were open seats. We didn't even try to knock-off Lincoln. MAINE - OLYMPIA SNOWE (R) - Isn't she a RHINO [sic]? Will she be targeted in the primary? In Maine, no. She's not a RINO. NORTH DAKOTA - KENT CONRAD (D) A repeat of South Dakota? Conrad isn't Daschle. Daschle was very public about his attacks against Bush. Conrad doesn't get the press Daschle did. PENNSYLVANIA - RICK SANTORUM (R) Seems out of step with Pennsylvania, but I'm guessing he'll win. Barb Hafer will give him a good race, for sure. RHODE ISLAND - LINCOLN CHAFEE (R) Another RHINO [sic] that will be targeted. He didn't even vote for Bush. He's safe. Title: Re: 2006 Question Post by: Bugs on November 16, 2004, 09:52:49 AM As already mentioned, all of the house seats are elected every two years, but many are gerrymandered into uncontestable districts. Some states do it for both parties. It would be interesting to know how many truly contestable elections there will be in 2006.
