In reply to the discussion: Democrats Now Favored to Win Senate [View all]rpannier
(24,365 posts)30. The one's I'd like to see out are in
WI (Johnson), IL (Kirk), PA (Tumor... Toomey), FL, NH (Ayotte), IN (Coats), OH (Portman), AZ (McCain), KY (Paul), LA, NC (Burr)
I think those are the only states we have a 40% or greater chance of winning.
If McCain loses to a teahadist then AZ is likely in play. If McCain holds in the primary, he'll likely carry the state
Of all the Republicans up for re-election, the one I am best at accepting is Murkowski.
I would add Mike Crapo to Republicans I am okay if they win. Can't stand the guy, but the Dems are not running anyone and the only other declared candidate is Pro-Life (formerly Marvin Richardson). Yes, the fuck actually legally changed his name

The Cook Report link just said there were 5 "toss-ups" 4 Rs & 1 D. How is that "favoring" Dems?
