@Oldiesfreak: I'd expect you to have endorsed Brown already. After all, he's jumped in NH's race
I would, except that I don't want to be accused of supporting a carpetbagger.  After all, I don't like carpetbaggers, especially Hillary Clinton who had absolutely ZERO connections to the New York before running for the Senate there.

Then again, Brown has more ties to New Hampshire than Hillary had to New York.  He was born in Kittery, Maine, at the main hospital for Portsmouth; many of his ancestors are buried in New Hampshire, and I believe he has a vacation home there.

Can confirm, he does have a vacation home in NH. IIRC, Hillary was actually brought into New York just to counter Giuliani, so you're right there.

Over 2 months since my last update, so:

Alabama: Abstain
Alaska: William Bryk
Arkansas: Tom Cotton (Still in protest of the Dixiecrat)

Georgia: Michelle Nunn, enthusiastically
Hawaii: Brian Schatz, enthusiastically
Idaho: Nels Mitchell
Illinois: Dick Durbin
Iowa: Bruce Braley, enthusiastically
Kansas: Chad Taylor (Milton Wolf in the primary)
Kentucky: Alison Lundergan Grimes
Louisiana: Mary Landrieu, reluctantly (Still not the best, but decent enough)
Maine: Susan Collins (She's the best Republican Senator and Bellows is too much of a lefty)
Massachusetts: Ed Markey
Michigan: Gary Peters
Minnesota: Al Franken, enthusiastically
Mississippi: Chris McDaniel (Given recent events)
Montana: John Walsh, enthusiastically
Nebraska: David Domina
New Hampshire: Jeanne Shaheen
New Jersey: Cory Booker
New Mexico: Tom Udall
North Carolina: Kay Hagan, reluctantly
Oklahoma: Matt Silverstein, enthusiastically (>>>>>>>Inhofe)
Oklahoma (S): James Lankford, in the primary
Oregon: Jeff Merkley, enthusiastically
Rhode Island: Jack Reed, enthusiastically
South Carolina: Brad Hutto  
South Carolina (S): Joyce Dickerson
South Dakota: Rick Weiland, enthusiastically
Tennessee: Gordon Ball
Texas: David Alameel
Virginia: Mark Warner, reluctantly
West Virginia: Natalie Tennant, reluctantly
Wyoming: Charlie Hardy

A quick update with two of the big primaries now over.

Crap! Thanks for noticing that. Edited and yeah, she's pretty much another Landrieu when it comes to mah state's rights on same-sex marriage, tighter border security along the border, signing off on the Alberta-Gulf Coast pipeline extension, and both are often notably anti-establishment/anti-Reid.

They both support SSM, but to an extent. Landrieu personally supports SSM, but she also believes her voters are right in maintaining marriage as a man and a woman. As for Hagan, she still supports religious freedom for institutions when it comes to SSM and she did initially believe to that the issue should have been addressed by the state (the same state that supported the 2012 SSM ban).

Democrat in every race, except for Maine. I cannot support Shenna Bellows because the two issues I disagree with my fellow Progressives on are her top two issues, and Susan Collins is pretty awesome for a Republican anyway. In Hawaii, I'm pulling for Brian Schatz.

Maybe, but either way, saying she only focuses on the drugs and the NSA just isn't true. You can follow her campaign for five minutes and you'll realize her main issue is economic populism. She's much closer to Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders than anyone else in the Senate, and I see a vote for Susan Collins as a vote for what is (mostly) failed Dubya-era policies (especially in foreign policy).

Dude, I will support her, don't worry, she's much more a Sawx democrat than a Sjoyce democrat, so that's a big improvement compared with the fake moderate.

But I still believe she's a HP. Praising Ron Paul? Ugh.
