And the Republicans in most danger are apparently the most conservative.

I disagree vehemently. The only exception so far is Chris Cannon who got a surprise upset and recruited a challenger for his primary. It's his own fault for being soft on in-state tuition for illegals. Sad that it happened to someone with a 10-year career ACU rating of 97% but people are very hot on the illegals thing all over the country. The other upset was the defeat of Coach Osborne in Nebraska as governor. He also went soft on in-state tuition and was defeated. And he was the most popular person in the state, universally loved and respected.

However, if Cannon is defeated, his successor will be just as conservative, only a little more so on illegals. And Heineman (who beat Osborne) is no more liberal and perhaps a little more conservative than Osborne was.

The heat generated over an issue the pols consider to be as peripheral as in-state tuition in two races with popular Republicans in the safest all-Red states in the country is an indicator of just how hot the electorate (not just Republicans) are on this issue.

That's your right, but a long, detailed analysis of the races was posted here the other day that proved otherwise. About the only prominent RINO in danger is Shays.
