Senate 2012: Republicans in solid shape to take control of Senate next year – An early spate of Democratic Senate retirements has put Republicans in solid shape to retake the majority in the upper chamber next year.
The first edition of The Hill's 2012 race ratings puts five Democratic-held seats in the toss-up column. Republicans need a net gain of at least three seats to win the Senate.

Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) are the two incumbents that top of the list of vulnerable Senate Democrats in 2012. And, thanks to retirements, another three Democratic-held seats are toss-ups — the ones held by Sens. Kent Conrad (N.D.), Jeff Bingaman (N.M.) and Jim Webb (Va.).

+++++++

I would say that Missouri, Florida and Michigan are also possible.
President 2012: Rudy Giuliani Not Close to Decision – Rudy Guiliani insisted on Fox News that he's considering another presidential bid in 2012 but he didn't sound very convincing.
SEAN HANNITY: Are you running for president?

GIULIANI: Not right this minute.

HANNITY: How close are you to making a final decision?

GIULIANI: I'm not close. I've got a lot of thinking to do, and I'm thinking.

HANNITY: But you're considering it.

GIULIANI: Yes.

+++++++

Rudy like Sarah Palin is not running for President

David Koch Demonized by the Far Left Opens the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT

Sounds to me the only thing David Koch wants to kill is NOT democracy but cancer cells.

More than a thousand miles from the labor tumult in Wisconsin — where his name shows up on the signs of protesters and a liberal blogger impersonating him got through to the governor on the phone and said “gotta crush that union!” — the real David H. Koch was greeted rather more warmly here Friday when he officially opened a new cancer research institute bearing his name.

Mr. Koch, a billionaire who is perhaps best known for his family’s contributions to conservative causes, got a standing ovation from scientists, Nobel laureates and politicians of various political stripes as he opened the new David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he gave $100 million to help build. And in a brief, and rare, interview, Mr. Koch, 70, spoke of his hopes for the new center, his prostate cancer and the prank call heard around the world. (…)

Mr. Koch said that only a relatively small portion of his giving goes to politics and public policy — most, he said, goes to cancer research, followed by cultural and educational institutions.

But he said that he felt he had been vilified for his support of conservative causes, which have ranged from opposition to the health care bill and pushing for small government and low taxes, to questioning whether climate change is caused by humans. He and his brother Charles are known, on the left, as the billionaires who bankrolled the public policy and citizen action groups that helped cultivate the Tea Party.

“I read stuff about me and I say, ‘God, I’m a terrible guy,’ ” he said. “And then I come here and everybody treats me like I’m a wonderful fellow, and I say, ‘Well, maybe I’m not so bad after all.’ ”

Read the entire profile.

The Koch Brothers are American businessmen or Business Titans, as one would say.

The American FAR LEFT have clearly overshot their Saul Alinsky demonization here and look like fools in the process.

Day By Day March 5, 2011 – Small Talk

Day By Day by Chris Muir

America has been in Afghanistan for almost a decade and many wonder when this war will end? Since the beginning the goal has been nebulous at best and with President Obama there is disinterest in its resolution.

Since the Taliban have their allies/safe harbor in Pakistan and make incursions into Afghanistan wouldn’t it be better to just withdraw and react to a resurgent Taliban when that occurs? Or, go into Pakistan and clear them out once and for all.

The Vietnamization of this war by Obama serves no purpose.

Either win the war or get out promptly.
