What would your 2006 U.S. Senate strategy be?

[AuH2O]

The only incumbents I see in any kind of trouble right now (in no order):

Santorum, PA
Nelson, FL
Dayton, MN

The Casey Jr. train is all fueled up, but don't count out Rick just yet.

Nelson and Dayton are both highly vulnerable, but until their opposition is more clear, their exact predicament is unknown. One of the two will probably lose, and both is a very real possibility. Dayton has gone from, to quote Bismarck, a "great, unrecognized incapacity" to a great, recognized incapacity. Though Napoleon III was quite a bit more stable than Evacuatin Dayton.

Mark Warner is the most overrated Democrat in the nation at this point, though Ford, Jr. is up there as well. Oddly, right now I can't help but say Hillary is kind of underrated as a political force, but that's another topic.

Neither Warner nor Ford have any real chance of making it into the Senate, though Ford might even have a better chance than the highly unpopular Warner.

Various other states can become competitive via a strong, but as of now unlikely, candidate announcing a bid.

He's given no indication it's even on his radar. I really hope he does, but at this point I think he wants to run for President in '08.

[AuH2O]

Guiliani would win going away.

[AuH2O]

No but there is a basis in reality.

Guiliani is just loved by people up there. Hillary is admittedly underrated right now, but against Rudy she would be defeated.
