Well,
He will of course LOSE but this is good democrats ae lining decent recruits almost everywhere Smiley.

I always say that Democrats should seriously challenge every single race, even the safe ones. You never know what can happen in a race. Even though I still expect Boozman to win without a problem, they'll at least force him to actually campaign.

Really?
Who is preparing to run in the following states with Senate elections in 2016?
1.Alabama
2.Alaska (I don't think anybody expects Mark Begich to run)
3.Georgia
4.Idaho
5.Kansas
6.Kentucky (The Dems will probably get a decent candidate if they win most of the statewide races in 2015)
7.Louisiana (see above)
8.New Hampshire (Maggie Hassan is still bogged down by the budget, but both Annie Kuster and Carol Shea Porter are running in the House races.)
9.North Carolina
10.North Dakota
11.Oklahoma
12.South Carolina
13.South Dakota
14.Utah

2 of the 3 Democrats running in Iowa don't appear to be great either as they got crushed by Roxanne Conlin in the Democratic Primary in 2010.

Shuler for NC. For NH, Hassan has the 'right of first refusal' and so far, she hasn't said anything definitive. When/If she rules it out, Kuster will probably give the race serious consideration.

I don't know why everyone thinks that Eldridge is a strong candidate.

Well, he is. Of course, that doesn't translate into him being able to win, which nobody is saying.

There was a real chance of there being no candidate in this race.

Shuler for NC. For NH, Hassan has the 'right of first refusal' and so far, she hasn't said anything definitive. When/If she rules it out, Kuster will probably give the race serious consideration.

Kuster is running for reelection no matter what Hassan does. The preferred candidates should Hassan decide not to run for the Senate seat are Executive Councilor Chris Pappas and 2010 nominee Paul Hodes and neither of them have indicated they would run.

Heath Shuler no longer lives in North Carolina and he is a member of a lobbying firm that lobbies for something that is regarded to be against the interests of the people of North Carolina.  So, he's definitely out as are the other former Democratic House members Brad Miller and Mike McIntyre. 

Dan Blue is probably their highest profile candidate remaining though Grier Martin would probably be the favorite candidate of the base.  2010 candidate for nomination Cal Cunningham may be the likeliest to run though there are three mayors also apparently considering running, though I don't know how seriously they are considering it.

I saw an approval rating of 40% for Senator Boozman. In a high-participation election he could lose to a moderate Democrat, especially if Barack Obama loses relevance in the campaign.  

Were you asleep in 2014? Did you not see how every single Democrat got stomped on? Not to mention his disapproval rating is probably less than 40%, but Democrats in Arkansas are a thing of the past.

ElectionsGuy, please stop concern trolling. We all know that Cotton only won because Democratic turnout in the big cities and the Little Rock suburbs was at a record low. With Hillary at the top of the ticket, such disastrous approval ratings and sky-high Democratic turnout, Boozman is done. He will get blanched, yes, his ceiling may be lower than 40%. In fact, Republicans have a better chance of picking up the open seat in CA than keeping this seat in Republican hands.
Are you being sarcastic?
