Olympia Snowe of Maine - should be a GONER!!
Would you support Rudy? I would, but a lot Freepers would not.
At least six of the Republicans should be primaried out by the TEA Party.

Well, let’s see if we picked the same “six”. I say: Lugar (IN), Hutchison (TX), Hatch (UT), Snowe (ME), Ensign (NV) and Brown (MA).
What say ye?
Cornyn’s lack of support for a GOP primary winner in DE (as chair of the RNSC) should cost him. He is siding with the Beltway far too much.
Ensign in NV with her cheating and possible tax fraud scandal is gone too in 2012.

Ensign is a dude, not a her.
Absolutely a safe GOP seat but not necessarily for the person currently holding it!
In fact, I would venture a guess that KBH will NOT return to the Senate in 2013 under any condition.
How can any Senate Democrat who voted “Yes” to any form of Obamacare be considered safe?

If the Pubbies do not run a strong candidate against them.
What if Rudy ran against Gillibrand?
thank you
that’s why I listed as GOP safe.
;>)
Good list. My only disagreement is that Feinstein is very safe in California.
Handy reference. Thanks for posting it.
The twelve vulnerable Democrats at this early date are:
§ 3.1.3 Bill Nelson of Florida
§ 3.1.6 Debbie Stabenow of Michigan
§ 3.1.7 Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota
§ 3.1.8 Claire McCaskill of Missouri
§ 3.1.9 Jon Tester of Montana
§ 3.1.10 Ben Nelson of Nebraska
§ 3.1.12 Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico
§ 3.1.14 Kent Conrad of North Dakota
§ 3.1.15 Sherrod Brown of Ohio
§ 3.1.16 Bob Casey, Jr. of Pennsylvania
§ 3.1.18 Jim Webb of Virginia
§ 3.1.21 Herb Kohl of Wisconsin
I’m not quibbling, but DiFi in CA is “safe”...much safer than Boxer.
Mostly agree. Feinstein is safe. Whitman and Fiorina dumped a ton of $ into Cali. Forget Cali-it’s dead. Bingaman in New Mexico is doable. I see + 7 or 8.
The Five Republicans that ought to be replaced with better candidates are:
§ 3.3.2 Richard Lugar of Indiana
§ 3.3.3 Olympia Snowe of Maine
§ 3.3.6 John Ensign of Nevada
§ 3.3.8 Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas
§ 3.3.9 Orrin Hatch of Utah
Unfortunately, we can consider California gone. Even though she will be 80, she can still win convincingly. I say put the money into races that we can win and let California sink deeper. They apparently have not hit rock bottom. When they do, maybe they will pick better pols.
Yet Casey was all in for 0 by the next year, and he didn't hesitate to vote for Deathcare - so his "pro-life" bona fides are all but gone.
Hopefully, '12 won't be as favorable for the Democrats in general, and he won't stroke as many consciences as a "pro-life" candidate this time around.
Depending on who we run, I'd call this one "in play"
Yep!
You don’t know how many times that I have had to call his office to remind him that he works for US and NOT the “Party Elites”.
I am done with the guy.
