Which 2014 losers should come back to compete in 2016?

[ShadowRocket]

Begich, Nunn, and Hagan

[SWE]

Braley = DEAD, I TELL YOU! If Grassley runs again, democrats shouldn't even field a candidate. If he retires, Lobesack or Murphy would be far better candidates than Braley

Any serious national party should do its best to field a candidate in every senate race

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I think Murkowski doesn't even enter the Republican primary, but runs as an independent.  In that case does it help the Democrat, or does it sideline the Democrat like last time? I'm not sure, but I would tend to think the latter, though Begich would do better in such a case than some others. Begich's best bet may be a rematch in six years.

Hagan might have a decent chance in two years  - though I expect at this point Burr to have an advantage.  The others I don't see much of an opening.  Maybe Nunn.

A Hagan-Burr race would be interesting, but yes, I think a non-Tillis Generic R beats non-incumbent Hagan in a Neutral/Lean D environment. If 2016 turns out to be more than that, watch out.

[Mr. Smith]

I'd throw in Mary Burke from the gubernatorials.

If Burke campaigned as she did the whole way through, Johnson would probably stand to be Pryored.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

None of them should run for Senate.

[Vega]

It probably wouldn't hurt for Begich to run again... if Murkowski doesn't become an independent.

[Free Bird]

It would be entertaining to see Grassley chew up Bob Baxter and spit him out in a couple years.

[Frodo]

Only Mark Begich, Kay Hagan, and Mary Landrieu -I did consider Michelle Nunn briefly, but since she couldn't even force David Perdue into a runoff, she is done in my eyes.  

[Sol]

Hagan is not a particularly talented politician. If she had had a reasonably popular opponent, she would have lost even with better turnout.
