Earlier (over on the right) I updated my Senate projections, claiming that Democrats' easiest road to 60 seats would run through tough races in either GA, KY, or MS. Well, I was wrong.
The easiest way to 60 seats is actually to have Barack Obama appoint Republican senators from states with Democratic governors to his cabinet. He gets to claim bipartisanship, they actually get to do something other than filibuster, and Democrats gain a Senate seat.
UPDATE: Two polls today, one from a reputable pollster, show Wicker (R) up by 11 and 13 in Mississippi. Oh, well.

Well, that is a very interesting idea. Any thoughts on which Republican senators might be best for this situation? Obviously Saxby Chambliss tops the list (though he doesn't fit the Democratic governor criterion), but who might be second in line for the cabinet appointment?
