IN-SEN: Bayh reportedly in.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

@ butthurt Republicans: Of course this bullsh**t, welcome to politics.  Not that your party would ever do something like this if given half a chance

Anyway, I'll gladly suffer Bayh if it means a Democratic Senate majority.

Republicans are considering doing the same thing with Pence, so fair is fair.

No, it's not the same thing. Pence may get picked as Trump's running mate, meaning he has to be off the ballot for governor, meaning someone else has to replace him.

^^^

Hill dropped out, meaning he has to be off the ballot for Senator, meaning someone else has to replace him

Well, let's not pretend like Hill just dropped out all by himself. There is 100% chance that he was anywhere from nudged to pushed out.

Or he got offered something in exchange, just like Pence

So you have no problem supporting this loser but you won't vote for Hillary because "the party needs to nominate someone who earns my vote?"

Don't get me wrong, I'd support him too for the same reason as much as he sucks, but I can't think in a single way in which he's better than Hillary.

Relevant:

Many times, being an adult means voting for the lesser of two crappy options.

I want him to to win, but I wouldn't vote for him, so there's nothing inconsistent about that.

I honestly can not comprehend why someone would not vote for for whom they want to win. My brain just simply can not process the logic.

I only want him to win because of how bad his opponent is.  However, that doesn't mean Bayh is a candidate worth voting for or has earned my vote.

Didnt see it posted yet, apparently dem internals have Bayh up double digits

Wow, if true this becomes gain #3 (along with Illinois and Wisconsin, naturally). Only would need one of Arizona, Florida, New Hampshire, Ohio, or Pennsylvania. Not an automatic, but doable.

I'd rank our possible pick ups as:

1. IL
2. WI
3. IN
4. NH
5. OH
6. AZ
7. FL

8. PA (Toomey was beatable, but not with McGintey)
9. NC (best case, the Pubs have to waste some money in September/October)

When was the last election that all the toss-up and close Senate races didn't go to the winning party? I see Toomey being like Kay Hagen, someone who is leading or close in the polls until the end but gets pulled under by the wave if Trump collapses.
