Senate 2006 election

I found this on a forum for Move on. org

"Presently the Senate is made up of 44 Democrats, 55 Republicans and one Independent. If the Republicans manage to gain 5 more seats they will have the 60 they need to do whatever they want. Kill the filibuster, the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution. I don't mean to be the voice of doom, but, we need to stop wasting our breath blowing off steam and get to work making sure we get as many Democrats as possible elected. This is where MoveOn could be of great help. WE CAN TAKE THE SENATE!"

This is the part that really got me though,

"A whole slew of Democrats may be retiring: California (Feinstein-D) - Hawaii (Akaka-D) - Massachusetts (Kennedy-D) - New Jersey (Corzine-D) - West Virginia (Byrd-D) - Wisconsin (Kohl-D) - Utah (Hatch-R). This is trouble. We must keep these seats and maybe even gain one."

One of these names is not like the other, one of these names just isn't the same. Have you picked up on it yet?

HATCH ISN'T A DEMOCRAT, BUT APPARENTLY HE MIGHT AS WELL BE! CAN WE GET RID OF HIM OR WHAT? COME ON!
