Some of those careers were nonstarters, but yes, good list.

Mark Begich is still alive and kicking and I think he can still have a future.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'm not entirely sure about Wendy Davis, but otherwise this list is spot on.

[Maxwell]

I'm not entirely sure about Wendy Davis, but otherwise this list is spot on.

Oh, I think her political career is dead, but I definitely think she has a shot at being a talking head.

Oh, I think her political career is dead, but I definitely think she has a shot at being a talking head.

Had she not gotten completely blown out of the water, I could've seen a future for her. But the blowout was just embarrassing, even factoring in that it was a Republican wave.

She just performed like a generic Democrat, which isn't bad considering it was a midterm. Let us see where she can get with a good turnout.

[Lief 🗽]

Don't agree with Electionsguy's additions. John Barrah could still run for governor or something. Horsford and Shea-Porter will probably run again in 2016 and have a good chance at winning.

Schneider could win that seat back again.

Just added some significant House incumbent defeats.

I could see Gallego, Schneider, Horsford, and Shea-Porter all trying again in 2016 (and with good shots to win). I didn't include Southerland because I could also see him trying again even though he really has no right to. Barrow would still make a decent statewide candidate despite his loss.

Schneider could win that seat back again.

Hypothetically so could many on that list.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I think Garcia could definitely win back his seat in 2016 if he wants it, same with Gallego (who'd be a solid favorite over Hurd if he runs), Horsford (whoever the Democrats run is probably a lock to retake this seat in 2016 given that it's and presidential year *and* Reid is on the ballot ), and Schneider.

[Miles]

Nevada - Steven Horsford

Just added some significant House incumbent defeats.

Ralston says he expects Horsford will be back.

Garcia has run in the last four elections, and his only win was when his opponent was under investigation from the FBI. I think it's time to bench him.

[Maxwell]

Yeah, I can't imagine Cresent Hardy or some of those other no name Republicans in Democrat districts holding on. Count on him being a goner, even if 2016 ends up being worse than expected for Democrats.

So they shouldn't be on that list

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

I was gonna say -- couldn't Barrow just run next time? He'd probably win his seat back in 2016 with presidential level turnout.

I suspect Shea Porter wins again in 2 years.

[tpfkaw]

Richard Tisei is almost certainly going to be appointed to the Baker cabinet, and could run for his old state senate district (currently held by a Democrat*). Also, Scott Brown will likely be a cabinet appointee of the next Republican governor in NH.

Edit: *And unopposed by a Republican in 2014! A microcosm of how pathetically incompetent the MAGOP is.

Garcia barely lost this year and it's not like we have a huge bench in that district (IIRC).  He's probably our best shot at picking it up in 2016.

[King]

Wendy Davis could probably get her state rep seat back, no?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Wendy Davis could probably get her state rep seat back, no?

Probably not, tbh

[free my dawg]

I'm not entirely sure about Wendy Davis, but otherwise this list is spot on.

She'll probably get some cushy job leading some pro-choice PAC

[tpfkaw]

Wendy Davis was running for MSNBC talk show host from the start. Although she may have blown it by being such a joke candidate.

[Vega]

Crist's wasn't ended, it's in the ground.
