My gosh, the Dems are trying to create a rising star in Stacy Abrams. Really? I’m wondering if the Dems think Andrew Gillum as a rising star, too...I mean, he lost a State, too. I’d love to see Paul LaPage primary Susan Collins...Maine isn’t as crazy as it seems...just like Vermont, the big cities wreck the states (Connecticut and New Hampshire, too)
The Senate is where the real battle will be in 2020.
They need to broaden their search parameters to include lunatics , degenerates , criminals and losers . They will be overwhelmed with possibilities within their party.
They can’t find anyone better than their current senators?
Did America run out of meth addicted hookers all of a sudden?
It was assumed in Colorado that Hickenlooper was running for President mostly to jump start a campaign for Cory Gardner’s Senate seat. Now Hickenlooper has made such a mess of his Presidential campaign, the political talking heads are saying he is toast. Taking his mother to see Deep Throat? Ewwwww!
The headline could have just left off the last four words.
IOW, same as usual, and it's also House candidates. Thanks SeekAndFind.
We will gain a meager 3 more seats...
Gaining only 2 seats net in 2018 was underwhelming given the highly favorable map, bad time for a good rat year.
But any net gain during this upcoming cycle would be a positive.
“Quality” in this instance means “viable”.
For instance the bitch they “elected” in Arizona last year was certainly the strongest candidate they had, AZ rats don’t have another one.
Udall stepping down is a plus. Not necessarily a pickup, but certainly a better shot. Probably Dopey Weed Man will run as an indy.
Jones is toast in AL.
I think Gardner is likely a loss, however. McSally will have a battle, even though the leading D isn’t running.
A quality Democrat candidate, LOL!!!
I don’t see us having a chance in NM if Johnson runs as a liartarian again. We need unity. After coming in a poor third to a WEAK Republican last year he oughta pack it in.
Which rat are you talking about in AZ, Ex-RINO Grant Woods? I think he would have been a stronger rat candidate than Ruben Gallego, who also isn’t running. It looks like they are stuck with Gifford’s husband.
Agree CO is most vulnerable.
Best gain chances after Bama are NH (if Sununu runs) and Michigan (John James was only down 1 point in recent poll, I think he deserves another chance)
Isn’t Colorado now liberal due to all the Californians moving to the state and the recent laws they’ve passed?
I don’t know that Woods is a better candidate at all. Gallegos had name recognition.
Yes, NH is a possible pickup. James should run again. He came out too soon last time and his lack of name recognition hurt him.
A “progressive” Latino? I think an ex-RINO who’s won statewide would be a much better candidate for suburban swing voters, the kind that elected Enema.
I’d much rather run against Gallego than Wood. Wood seems to have been scared that he couldn’t win a rat primary. But what do I know. Heard rumors that freshman and Ex-Phoenix mayor Greg Stanton might be interested, that’s someone I wouldn’t want to run against, certainly stronger than Mark Kelly.
Perdue’s seat is not shaky. Perdue is very popular here. The name is gold.
If Parkinson retires Isaackson then it depends on how smart Republicans are as to whether they keep that seat. If the Republicans play “Whose turn is it?” then that seat is in danger. The Republicans need to find the best candidate for it. I can think of several young women who would make great candidates.
Herman Cain would be the best candidate, hands down. But he can’t campaign from a seat on the FED.
[snip] Republicans must defend 22 while Democrats need to protect only 12. Currently, Republicans hold 53 seats while Democrats possess 45 with two independents caucusing with them. [/snip]
