And seats that should not even be mentioned are being placed in the toss up column for the Dems. Russ Feingold should NOT be in a contested race against a nobody. Same goes for Patty Murray.

Look in the toss up column. How many (R)'s do you see? How many (D)'s?
You want to see something more compelling?

Look at that sea of blue in the toss up and leans GOP. Haw many red seats do you see on the other side of that coin? You can count them on one hand.
As for the party of "No," when you are shut out of the process it is difficult to run on accomplishments. Ask the Dems. They had no real substance in '06 other than "Bush Sucks." While they may have been correct and successful in that approach, you have to admit it lacked any real substance. Plus, there are voices out there offering alternatives, you just choose to ignore them.
