How about Deb Fisher in Nebraska? She will hopefully be replacing the execrable Ben Nelson who sold out to give us Obamacare, and her victory will be a humiliation for one of the most ridiculous liberals of all time, Bob Kerrey.

She is a solid Conservative cattle rancher from the Nebraska sandhills.

Josh Mandel For Senate

Truly a two-fer! Mandel is great and he would unseat one of the worst in the Senate: Sherrod Brown.

While he’s not perfect he’s well to the right of guys like McCain and Snowe. Pete Hoekstra stands a petty good chance of dethroning Debbie Stupidcow.

Indiana’s Richard Mourdock, a genuine Tea Party candidate, who upset RINO Richard Lugar and is now in a close race with dem lib Joe Donnelly.

In Missouri, RCP has Todd Akin beating senator Claire McCaskill by 11 points too for net gain of 1 seat.

In Virginia, Rasmussen has democrat Tim Kaine, the Democrat picked to replace retiring Jim Webb, tied with Republican challenger George Allen, the Senator defeated by Webb in 2006. Seems like this is a good place for us to fight. It seems like we should bend over backwards to bring Virginia back into the fold actually.

In Wisconsin, in an August 5th poll, Tommy Thomson, who won the Republican nomination on August 14, 2012 after a bitter four-way primary battle is five points ahead of democrat Tammy Baldwin who is picked to replace retiring Senator Herb Kohl. Given these poll results and the 2010 surprise upset in Wisconsin when ultra liberal democrat, Russ Feingold was defeated by Ron Johnson, and the recent Gubernatorial recall election results, it seems like this would be a real real good place to fight for a senate seat-net gain 1.

No reliable polls for the Montana race since June. Given the manner in which Jon Tester won in 2006, it seems very plausible that Republican Denny Rehberg will reclaim this senate seat from the Democrats. Hard to say but I say probably net gain of 1.

In North Dakota, Republican, Rick Berg is statistically tied with Democrat Heidi Heitkamp who seeks to retain this Democratic senate seat being vacated by retiring senator Kent Conrad (D).

In Indiana, an August 1st poll has tea party candidate Richard Mourdock 2 points ahead of Democratic challenger, Joe Donnely in the Indiana senate race. Mourdock defeated Richard Lugar in the Indiana primaries, 400,321 votes to 261,285. Losing to Donnely will be bad - real bad.

In Massachusetts, 6 polls average out to a tie between Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown who sent a shock wave through the democratic party when he took Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in a special election.

in Maine, the Republican seat held by retiring senator Olympia Snowe is now being fought over by Maine Secretary of State Charles Summers (R) and Maine State Senator, Cynthia Dill(D). Complicating this race is Maine Governor Angus King who is running as an Independent and currently polling well ahead of Summers and WAAAY ahead of Dill. The good news about this is that King was beating Summers by 28 points back in July but an August 6th poll of 500 likely voters in Maine by Moore Consulting has him beating summers by 18 points which is good but obviously not good enough. the same poll has Obama beating romney 52%-37%. king will likely caucus with demcocrats and create another Joe Lieberman situation. Maine is not looking so good. Anticipate the Dems picking up a seat in Maine.

Speaking of the Independent Joe Lieberman...Linda McMahon(R) is hoping to claim a seat for the Republicans by defeating Chris Murphy(D). A July 8th PPP poll has Murphy up by 8 points over McMahon. Murphy has soundly beaten in McMahon in every poll found at RCP between the two. Connecticut is going to the Dems. Because Lieberman caucused with the Dems, it isn't a net gain.

In Hawaii, Linda Lingle attempts to pick up a seat for the Republicans by defeating Democratic Mazie Hirono who is hoping to hold on to retiring Democrat, Daniel Akkaka's seat. Hirono is the clear favorite according to multiple polls and we should anticipate the Dems holding this seat for a net gain of zero.

In Florida, incumbent Democratic senator Bill Nelson is most recently looking good against Republican challenger, Connie Mack IV (R), although, RCP does have Mack up by o.2 points overall so this race looks very competitive.. We should, as usual, fight hard for Florida. It definitely looks to be within our grasp.

In Nebraska, the seat held by retiring democratic senator Ben Nelson is being fought over by Bob Kerrehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Kerrey(D) and Deb Fischer(R). Kerrey appears...highly accomplished and probably not some one to be underestimated. That being said, it looks like Nebraska is going to go to the Republicans this year for a net gain of 1.

In new Mexico, the seat held by retiring Democrat, Jeff Bingaman, is being fought over by Democrat Martin Heinrich and Republican Heather Wilson. RCP strongly suggests that The Democrats will hold New Mexico for a net gain of zero.

While I have sent a contribution to Connie Mack IV as a vote for a Republican Senate, I sent more to Senator Jim DeMint's "Senate Conservatives Fund" PAC. His candidate list has four strong conservative candidates on it; Richard Mourdock of Indiana, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Mandel of Ohio. This web site has a place where you can support this PAC and or contribute to each candidate individually. My $0.02 worth.

Someone else already suggested him, Josh Mandel would be my recommendation.

Must get rid of Sherred Brown.

Give to the close races. Mourdock in IN, Mandel in OH, Hoekstra in MI, Rehberg in MT, Berg in ND.

The Senate will be a hell hole until we repeal the 22 Amendment.

Todd Akin.
He’s very conservative and running against Claire McCackle in Missouri.

Good morning.

I would say Connie Mack IV, but then again, maybe not.

Please consider Tom Smith in PA. He started and ran a coal company and is Tea Party in attitude. He is running against Casey, who is a Dem rubber stamp in his first reelection run, and is beatable.

Tom Smith in Penn could use some help. He’s been endorsed by Tea Party Express.
