I got to figure out this html formatting stuff on FR
The first opportunity has not yet even occurred.
Actually the first opportunity was to take out John Cornyn in Texas on March 4. He took 59% of the vote.
It will be May 20th in Kentucky.
The last two polls show McConnell leading Bevin 51% to 34% and 57% to 25%. Not likely a candidate for taking out a sitting senator.
Then May 27th in the Texas runoff.
There is no senate runoff. See above. Cornyn got 57% of the vote.
Then June 3rd in Mississippi.
Thad Cochran has raised $2.4 million through March 31 to Chris McDaniels $962K. Last poll has Thad leading 48 to 31%. Not a race I would bank on.
From Ballotpedia: “Chris McDaniel received negative media attention from the Mississippi Conservatives PAC. According to the PAC, McDaniel is hypocritical and has tried to take both sides on many issues, including tort reform, Common Core and earmarks”
Then June 10th in South Carolina and Maine.
Lindsay is polling at 50% over several candidates. He does have to get 50 to avoid a runoff, but I don’t see him losing a runoff.
Susan (My Senator) does not have an opponent on the primary ballot. There is a wack job running a write in campaign after falling to get any signatures to get on the ballot. His main campaign theme is that he has been persecuted by the system after being convicted of domestic violence against his wife.
99% of the voters don’t even know he is waging said write in campaign. The 1% know he is crazy.
Case closed.
