I would put Hawaii before Conn. Not likely but still within the realm of probability.

“I would put Hawaii before Conn. Not likely but still within the realm of probability. “

You mean the Japanese People’s Republic of Hawaii? I don’t think that Hawaii has ever had Senators other that A Caca or In No Way have they?

Sarah Steelman Rocks!!!

I hate be the bearer of bad news you but your Texas vote will not count for much in a Missouri race.

“”Since the GOP is likely to lose Maine (Olympia Snowe’s seat””

She was never a Republican anyway. She just managed to fool the voters....

I thought Brunner was leading but Sarah is OK by me (plus she’s a looker.)

We need more than a 51-49 margin. The globalists can always get one to jump like Jumpin Jim Jeffords or Specter the Defector did.

Yep, and with the Dems taking Snowe's seat, you can bet Susan Collins will be a prime candidate to jump to try and protect her own A$$.

Bu-bye Claire McCackle.

She's already in whine mode. She knows it's over.

GOP will lose Maine.

That's too bad, although uber-RINO Snowe was like a democRAT anyway. Is the GOP candidate for Senate in Maine that bad? Maine elected a very conservative governor (Paul LePage) in 2010... is there any hope for Maine?

There's no way any Republican will win our open Senate seat in The People's Socialist Republik of Connecticut, regardless of how much money WWE exec Linda McMahon has. Connecticut is lost - the only hope at this point for CT residents is to move out.

Expect pro-ObamaCare, pro-union, pro-abortion, etc. Christopher Murphy (currently US Congressman, 5th district) to be the next US Senator from CT. And he is young... only 38. He'll be a fixture in the Senate for decades to come.

Last poll I have (Rasmussen) has Steelman up 12, Brunner up 10, Akin up 8 over Ma McCaskill. But it is dated June 7. I think Brunner had an internal poll that showed him leading. But that is what it is.

I would vote for any of the three. Just known S. Steelman longer.better. Heard her speak in May while traveling with Tea Party Express (who endorsed her). Actually I'd vote for a gut shot dog over Ma McCaskill!

Claire has been remodeling her lake house of late.
Probably ready to retire on her nice, fat federal pension.

Right now, Josh Mandel is 4-6 behind Sherrod Brown in OH, but has only upside as 40% of Ohioans don’t know him. Brown is stuck @ 45%, so OH is winnable.

I was reading a Quinnipiac Poll yesterday that showed McMahon within 3 points of Murphy? Think it posted here?

You never know, but I don’t think she’d have reason to do that. In 2008 she won with 61% of the vote with the headwinds against her as a Republican in a left leaning state and the top of the ticket going heavily in the opposite direction.

It's interesting that they're calling the primary and the election for Steelman...

Surprising to me as well.

Akin/Brunner/Steelman polled 50% or 51% with McCaskel in the low 40's against each of them.

Akin pro gun, conservative. A member of the house who got 0bama's panties in a wad gets my vote

Brunner with his lack of experience and the donation of $10,000 to the wacko Humane Farming Association doesn't impress me.

Steelman has been banging around Jeff City too long and 100% of her ads are negative. No vote here for her..

Ohio is very winnable. I think Sherrod is doomed.

Agreed. She was first on my list when I had this in mind.

He was elected the usual way. He ran as a Republican and was protected by the Lee Enterprises papers. The one thousand registered voters on each of the reservations cast five thousand votes for him.
The Democrat candidate for Lieutenant Governor in Montana lost $23 million from his Department of Military Affairs.

Doomed is too strong, and he’s been slippery. So far, Mandel has been in total fundraising mode.

Good report, thanks for posting.

Fingers crossed for a strong close against the Dhimmis.

Missouri, Montana, and Florida are the ones to watch. Wins there along with an increase in conservative numbers in the House would limit liberal excesses in congress and could tie the hands of any president who strays from his role defined by our Constitution.
