Name the rising stars from both parties emerging after the 2014 elections

[Lincoln Republican]

Name as few or as many as you like.

It may be hard to find many Democrats after the blow out, but there must be some.

[BM]

Gwen Graham

Kyrsten Sinema and Ann Kirkpatrick for surviving the wave in the vile state of Arizona.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Joni Ernst, Tom Cotton, Mia Love

Democrats...can't really think of any.

[windjammer]

Republicans: Cory Gardner, Tom Cotton, Dan Sullivan, Ed Gillespie (lol), the new governor in Maryland.
Democrats: Gwen Graham, Patrick Murphy, Kyrsten Sinema, Ann Kirkpatrick.


I expect Patrick Murphy to run for senate in 2016, Synema or Kirkpatrick as well. Gwen Graham will probbly run for senate/governor in 2018.

[Lief 🗽]

Seth Moulton seems great to me. Look at his jawline!



Goddamn. Maybe he can challenge Baker in 2018? Democrats need to stop fooling around with running women in Massachusetts. It's obvious that swing voter blue collar men in the state demand rugged hyper masculinity in their candidates (see Scott Brown or even Baker's campaign this year versus his campaign in 2010).

For the Democrats, as others have already mentioned, Gwen Graham, Patrick Murphy, Ann Kirkpatrick, Kyrsten Sinema, and Seth Moulton. Republicans, there's too many to name.

Hopefully he pulls an Aaron Schock and poses shirtless on some magazine covers.

[Lincoln Republican]

To the Republicans already mentioned, I will add West Virginia Senator Elect Shelley Moore Capito.

[RogueBeaver]

Pubs: Cotton, Gardner, Ernst, Comstock, Capito.

Dems: Graham, Moulton, Murphy, Raimondo.

[Lincoln Republican]

Republican Bruce Poliquin, if for nothing else than for winning a House seat from Maine.

Republican Frank Guinta, if for nothing else than for taking back a House seat from the Democrats he lost previously in New Hampshire.

Giving Republicans House seats in northern New England.
