While the Senate could likely shift 3 GOP to Dem (DeWine-Ohio, Santorum-Pa, and Chaffee-RI), I say that the GOP will likely pick up from the Dems at least one of these three, Mich, Md and/or NJ. The GOP net loss to the Dems could be as little as 1 or 2.

I pray that you're right. 40 years of their destructive rule was more then enough. We're just barely starting to fix all the problems they created.

In the debate between Governor Granholm and Dick DeVos. Granholm clearly shows that she only understands tax and spend when she said that she would institute a state inheritance tax on the "800 richest families" to pay for more police. Since we have seen so many leave the state and find ourselves in a situation where companies that lose money still need to pay the SBT - I am amazed by the attitude of some who say "Give her another chance." I am also amazed that she blasts DeVos on jobs to China while she has never created a job and leads the state that has the largest net loss of people (with the exception of hurricane damaged by Katrina) of any other state in the U.S. Perhaps we should call her Hurricane Jennifer or Huricane Granholm. (Either name could be used because this would be the first Great Lakes hurricane.)
