As we close out 2013, here's a look at the senators at risk of losing their primaries. It's worth noting that it's a relatively rare event for senators to fall in a primary—in 2012, only former Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., lost to a primary challenger, and the previous cycle just Sens. Robert Bennet, R-Utah, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, did—though Murkowski came back and won reelection as a write-in candidate. So, keeping in mind that we predicted in our final Hotline Spotlight of the year that no Senate incumbent will lose a primary next year, here are the candidates who should be most wary as we head into 2014.
1. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., appears to be the most in danger of failing to earn renomination. His challenger, state Sen. Chris McDaniel, has lined up a number of outside groups—Senate Conservatives Fund, the Madison Project, Club for Growth—behind him. For the 76-year-old Cochran's part, he seemed geared up for the challenge when he announced he'd run again. But, to this point, Cochran hasn't been raising money aggressively (he ended the third quarter with just over $800,000 in the bank), and he hasn't had a competitive race in 30 years.
2. The only Democrat on our list, Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii faces a primary challenge from Democratic Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, who had also hoped to be appointed to the seat at the end of last year when the late Sen. Daniel Inouye died. An October robo-poll showed the race neck and neck, as did a poll this summer—and a poll from EMILY's List (which is backing Hanabusa) over the summer showed the congresswoman up. But Schatz also pulled ahead in fundraising during the third quarter, bringing in $678,000 to Hanabusa's $441,000. Expect a hard-fought race.

Links in Post 1 describe the ground game. There's a signup process and then volunteers get a walking list to canvass their neighborhood. There's an app that is used record answers to five questions. It's pretty slick.
There are regional coordinators across the state, organizing volunteers.
understand, just like to plan ahead......
It beats the UCJC (Uniparty Circle J*** Club).
Amen...!
After Bonehead grants amnesty to 30 million new illegal Democrats none of this means anything.
Why did they not mention anther Democrat, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana? She is in a “Primary” that list all candidates of all parties on the same ballot. She is definitely vulnerable. Am I right or wrong?
Begich, Landrieu, Franken, Merkley are all Democrat Senators who only won narrowly last time and could lose next time.
They may not have primary challengers, but is that the real story for 2014?
Why is this zottable?
All that anger. Where does it come from?
Not gonna do it. Are you a genuine newbie or a retread? What was your previous FReeper name?
Laz: Is it my or your week to be God Jr?
The holidays get my schedule mixed up every time.
Here you go.
You're welcome.
You are God Sr. this week. I'm God Jr. this week.
Oh, I remember now.
Your real name is Din Gleberry.
See, I’m an old fart too.
I was trying to find aliases. Thanks.
MS ping.
So if Murkowski loses the primary again to a conservative, will the GOPe rush to her rescue again?
