The senate is up for grabs and can flip on a dime on laundrieu, Hagen, and begich. I don't think she is safe especially on Ssm, gun control, and obamacare. But min abolishment is troublesome.

Just in this case La, nc, and ak are the big three vul., in 2016, hopefully Dan Hynes run in ill, along w Wisconsin and pa are most likely to lose.

So likely rep...

Not even Likely Rep. Herseth was their only hope at holding this seat. Democrats need to abandon this race.

WVA, SD, KY, GA, safe GOP.

Moderate on NJ issues like immigration, but when he comes to DC and Boehner and McConnell sets the GOP agenda when it comes to litmus test for Crt appointees he will be more like Bush.

He knows that he could have lost the MA special if Cupuano had run instead of Coakley. I doubt he wants to take him on now. Cupuano is gonna be the next MA governor.

The state was split between Dallas and urban blacks and conservatives in the South.  After, RF ran and California and Ohio became the swing state in 68 on account of opposing Vietnam, urbanized voters couldn't make up the difference with the swath of conservatives.

1980 Edward Kennedy
1984 Gary Hart
1988 Jesse Jackson/Joe Biden
1992 Clinton
1996 Buchanan
2000 McCain
2004 Dean/ Edwards
2008 Obama
2012 Cain/ M Romney

Alot of people can live to 107, look at JP Stevens. But I doubt it.  I think they, Bush and Carter will live to around 95.

Since, Cuomo numbers have declined a great deal, no one has a chance in stopping her. And her pal Schweizer is running for the senate. Barring something coming out of the closet, she's inclined to run.

Hillary Clinton map putting in 2016 AZ in play.

Hillary Clinton is the only Democrat, in the near term to put AZ in play, in 2016. Especially, against Marco Rubio, she will need it.

At least he knew about the greenhouse effect or green revolution before anyone else did. Al gore wouldn't have been the most exciting prez, but abu graub would have never happened.

Rutherford vs Madigan race, Dillard would have beaten Quinn in 2010 but not Madigan.

Immigration reform and maybe no war in Iraq would have been the story of Jeb prez.

Hillary is about change and the future and expanding minority rights. Jeb is only about resurrecting the Bush name. I think Hillary is electable, Jeb isn't.

Dold was a Kirk clone

lol no

Every ad that Dold ran had a Mark Kirk face on it.

Dold was a Kirk clone and lost in a prez yr, Dan Hynes, Chris Kennedy, and Mike Quigley in that order would be the strongest candidates.

Bain capital has taken toll on McCauliff, flawed candidate.

r +4 Montana, Arkansas, WVA, and SD.

Its a political power play on the part of Michael Madigan. He has done nothing to help Quinn, Blago, or Bill Daley to help their political cause in the state. He was making it easier to help draft his daughter for higher office.  Lisa will be much kinder to unions on the part of pension reform and help raise the minimum wage and close the gun show loopholes.

The House was lost once these sequester cuts started to kick in and the job market started to decline. The GOP will have at least 225 seats in the House and the Dems will control 51 seat majority in senate, loss of 4 seats.

What a role he played, in the last campaign. Giving Obama the Bain Capital to run on.  He will not run in 2016.
