It is going to be an interesting election cycle culminating with the mid term elections in November. Following up on my new found interest in politics that began with the dual primary race for the 08 Presidential election, I am going to watch these Senate races with interest.
An introduction:
Right now there are 36 seats in play. This includes incumbents and Senators who are retiring.

See, where I work, if you do well you get bigger raises, bigger bonuses and if you do well over the long haul, you get promoted. On the other hand, if you don’t exceed you may not get fired, but you won’t reap the rewards of the high achievers. Then again, if you continue to produce so marginally that the firm finds itself better off without your services, you will, in fact, eventually be promoted; to customer. In other words, the company will no longer employ you.

He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river. The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn’t see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back. Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.
