I think the Burris (or whatever that appointed Senator's name is) seat is in jeopardy in IL, however, he might get knocked off in the primary so the Republicans may still not get that seat turned. They can't manage to nominate someone who stays out of jail or doesn't get caught cheating on his wife over there in IL.
I think a lot of the newly elected Dems in the House will be very vulnerable in 2010 if they voted for this cap and tax, as well as quadrupling the one year debt, etc etc. They ran as conservative dems and are voting way left of their constituents.
If I was running against any incumbant, all of my ads would be running as "HE/SHE IS VOTING ON BILLS HE/SHE NEVER READ" and then point out some of the really bad impacts these crazy bills are going to have on joe 6 pack america. Easy as pie.
The Burris seat is not in any jeopardy. Burris has no money to run a campaign, no positive record to run on and will get knocked off in the primary by either Lisa Madigan or Alexi Giannoulias... book it. Not to mention what little of a Republican bench exists in the state of Illinois (only one Republican has won a statewide election in the last decade - former Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka) is focused on the governor's office in 2010, not the Senate and there hasn't even been a serious GOP candidate declared for the race yet.
As for your campaign strategy... what an idealistic sentiment that would be an epic fail in the real world of politics.
That's so random and bizarre.
