It will be a lot more difficult for Jorgensen to beat Peters in a one-on-one general election in 2016 (a presidential election, and with Peters having been in office for four years instead of being a freshman) than in 2014. Now’s the time to beat Peters.
If Simon is pro-abortion and pro-same-sex-marriage, how the heck is he an improvement over Sicko DeMaio (I just thought of that nickname!)? Just because Simon is straight doesn’t mean we want him as a Republican co gressman. Jorgensen is the clear choice.

I am supporting Matt Miller in CA-33, Waxman’s seat.
There are 5 well-financed Leftists in the primary and one well-financed GOPer and then Miller is the 7th candidate.
It looks like it will be a DEM vs GOP in NOV, which we cannot win. If Miller got into the top-two, he could beat the usual lefty in NOV.

I don’t see Freepers having any interest in this one. But I’m keeping an eye on it. Maybe the GOP Carr will get first in the primary, so maybe Miller has to beat all the DEMS. CA33 is D+11. He was my classmate, he was A.B. Econ, which is the non-quantitative degree. I vaguely remember him at the moment.
other people must be more familiar with him, Fortune mag, CNN etc.
Gold, that Montana race is fascinating ... rural politics is something special. Stapleton or Rosendale ... who can beat Zinke ?
Rosendale moved to eastern Montana from Maryland in 2002 and got elected to the state senate. That could be his biggest hurdle ...
backup evidence that it will be a 2-man race In MT and Rosendale has a fighting chance.
Zinke has the resources and a compelling background, Parker said. The man was a Navy SEAL. In the hierarchy of military experience, thats darned near the top.
Rosendale, a real estate developer, has Libertarians and Republican Young Guns. a group of younger party members, helping form a solid organization behind him, Parker said.
At the end of the day, you can do it with a grass-roots organization like Rosendale, or you can do it with money, like Zinke, the MSU professor said.
