I think if we get 60 seats, this one absolutely has to be won and in this kind of year, I believe Mississippi especially offers us a great pickup shot.
One trembling teen-ager handed Obama a cell phone and asked him to say hello to her friend Hillary, a big Obama fan. "Hi Hillary!" Obama said with a mischevous grin, telling the crowd: "And she supports me,"
"Oh, this isn't Hillary Clinton? Oh, Hillary Van Dyke," he deadpanned. "Nice to meet you! Thanks for your support."
We'll see, I remember all the talk before Hawaii being Hillary was going to pull off a miraculous upset. Didn't she end up losing that one by like 50 points?
Joe it's great you've joined the campaign! It's time for change to come to South Florida.
Joe would be a progressive leader in Congress and a victory by him would start a seachange on Cuba policy and an end to Republican control in the area.
This race offers us the opportunity to replace someone with a 15% rating on the environment from LCV with someone who will defend the Everglades in the district. We can replace someone who voted against health care for children with someone who will vote the right way.
Let's elect Joe, so we can have people who will stand with the netroots over corporate insiders.
There's a big movement here to elect "responsible growth" candidates, especially on county commissions. Democrats who advocated these policies have picked up several seats on once very Conservative Venice and Sarasota commissions, as well as my home county in central Florida (1st Democrat and very pro-environment in a very long time). People are very tired of all the growth which is hurting our real estate markets and causing inflation.
Mario Diaz-Balart got a 15% rating from LCV in a district that represents the Everglades. This is something we need to turn around.
I agree, we could sweep all of these races in November. They're all only slightly Republican and all turning more Democratic. These are the kind of districts we can take in a wave year.
I did want to comment on your thing about Obama using Republican speech. He was actually opposing Republican ideas on trade and free enterprise when he did that earlier. He was saying he believes in that idea, but in fact that's not what's happening in America right now, that's not what the Republican Party is standing up for.

Just gave $10 to Musgrove. I figure it will be 3 of Musgrove, Franken, Lunsford, Allen, and maybe Martin that will get us to 60 without Lieberman.

Obama probably won't win WV, but he's going to take western states that Hillary has no chance in.

He hasn't endorsed anyone. He's going to support whoever is the eventual nominee.

Historically they've been known to be fairly accurate in the presidential race.
They did two polls in this primary and nailed them pretty good, as well.

Can we do it? Can we bring progressive change to this South Florida district?

I doubt it, Kerry did the same thing to Edwards in 2004.
Wow, big contrast from Hillary.
Fear-mongering.
