Maybe I'll add more later (assume I support the Republican nominee in most other races), but I'll put these up ahead of tomorrow night's primaries.
House Endorsements (for Arizona and Florida)Sad

AZ-01: Ken Bennett, R-AZ (better than the other candidates, all deeply flawed)
AZ-02: Martha McSally, R-AZ (really worried about this seat in November)
AZ-05: No primary endorsement, will support the GOP nominee in the general for this
AZ-09: (Winner of tomorrow's primary), R-AZ

FL-02: Neal Dunn, R-FL (I also like the other two Republicans, so no biggie if he loses. Safe R seat.)
FL-06: Ron DeSantis, R-FL (Yes, I do like some Freedom Caucus members. I don't really have much against the group, I just really like Paul Ryan as a leader, and would prefer the House GOP leadership not be taken over by far-right obstructionists.)
FL-07: John Mica, R-FL
FL-13: David Jolly, R-FL, #NeverChangingCharlie
FL-17: Tom Rooney, R-FL
FL-18: Rebecca Negron, R-FL (Would support Mast if he won, I like him too, but Negron seems to be the stronger GE candidate.)
FL-19: Francis Rooney, R-FL * (Like Sunrise, #NeverBongino. Stupid crazy carpetbagger.)
FL-23: (Tim Canova in the DEM Primary), Joe Kaufman, R-FL (GOP Primary and General. If only we could win this, #NeverDWS. But unfortunately, it's D+9.)
FL-25: Mario Diaz-Balart, R-FL
FL-26: Carlos Curbelo, R-FL
FL-27: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-FL

I really don't know anything about Feigenbaum (other than that he was destroyed badly in a State House race two years ago, and that he's getting up in age), who strikes me as dull and I charismatic (I could be wrong), but I did read an old article I dug up (from 2012!) when Kaufman wrote about his plan to oust DWS (something about trying to convince Democratic Jews to split their ticket, can't see it happening, though). He lost the primary, so I guess he's not that great. I do not like Disgraced Debbie, and would love it for her to lose (probably it happening, though.)

Some various endorsements and observations for tomorrow, in a not-really organized manner:
- Obviously McCain and Rubio for reelection
- All Republican incumbents, except Dan Webster who is an annoying gadfly with a credible opponent (so also Justin Grabelle)
- Gary Kiehne seems like he has the best chance of beating Paul Babeu, so him in AZ-1
- Don Stapley in AZ-5 seems like the best candidate, though Biggs has the CfG endorsement and none of the others really seem terrible
- Definitely Mary Thomas in FL-2; really don't like Neal Dunn
- FL-1 seems like it has a very unsettled field and it's hard to differentiate serious candidates from jokes, but Rebekah Johansen-Bydlak has some high-quality endorsements, so her
- Chauncey Goss seems like the best in FL-19, though a part of me wants to see Bongino win, since the departure of Mike Grimm left a whole in the House that has yet to be filled
- FL-18 is confusing, but hopefully not Domino again
- Will write out some Democratic endorsements as well (why not?): Alan Grayson for FL-Sen to help Rubio, though I would vote in the R primary; Al Lawson in FL-5 because Brown is corrupt and useless; Dena Grayson in FL-9 to keep Alan relevant; Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in FL-23, out of appreciation for her running of the Democratic Party; and Joe Garcia in FL-26, since he seems easier for Curbelo to beat

Yea, Kaufman seems like a decent guy and candidate. Also have friends who know him on some level.

Democrats - At this point there is no Republican I could possibly be supporting. The only two I kind of like are not running again (Chris Gibson, Richard Hanna), and the rest of the ones I don't hate are either running in basically uncontested races (Charlie Dent, Rand Paul), or are not running this year (Jeff Flake, Dean Heller).

Generally endorse most Republicans, will stand out and endorse Russ Feingold (D) for Senate though. Johnson is getting insufferable and is pretty horrible/worthless person.

Don't get what's so bad about Johnson, and what's so great about Feingold. Feingold was basically the face of the far-left before he lost, and before Sanders and Warren became Senators. If (more likely when, I guess) he wins, he will easily regain his spot as such.

He's missed something like 40% of the votes in his time as a Senator so far. If anyone is a good specimen of "you didn't build that" it's Johnson. Married a rich girl who's dad gave him a company to run that almost exclusively sold to his father in law and he succeeded at it, didn't do much else but makes it sound like he's a self made businessman. Also thinks SS is a legal Ponzi scheme and wants to get rid of it. Numerous other things too.

If you hate Johnson so much, then why wouldn't you vote third party/write in instead of voting for a far left moonbat who's basically a socialist.

I don't have the whole hate/democrats are evil thing that many conservatives do. Plus I'm big on public transportation/rail/transportation funding person. Feingold will help in that regard, plus I don't agree with the Libertarian's and a third party vote is a waste.

In NY, I'll be voting for Alex Merced (L) for Senate, which I guess is the only endorsement of mine that matters. Tongue

There are a few politicians I like, but I'm not sure I can think of them all off the top of my head.

Generally, I support Democrats with a few exceptions:

1) Wall Street stooges from solid blue states if I feel like that state could do better (Chuck Schumer, etc)

2) Corrupt scumbags (Bob Menendez, etc.)

3) Joke candidates (Art Halvorson, Frederick Lavergne, etc)

I don't have the whole hate/democrats are evil thing that many conservatives do. Plus I'm big on public transportation/rail/transportation funding person. Feingold will help in that regard, plus I don't agree with the Libertarian's and a third party vote is a waste.
Okay, thank you for explaining. I, while Republican, do not hate every single Democrat in Washington, but Feingold is clearly one of the most left-leaning. There are a handful of races where I actually do endorse the Democratic candidate (like AZ-01). While I do think that voting third party (except in rare cases like NY-22) is a wasted vote, it does provide the voter with an avenue of not voting for a candidate of their party that they don't like while NOT implicitly voting for the other party to control the chamber.

Halvorson is not even a Democrat, he'll switch back to the Republican Party after the election (win or, more likely, lose). He's just an opportunist.

I don't like how he's manipulating low information voters that think the D line actually means something.  I guess that could put him in the corrupt category, but the idea of a tea party guy running as a Democrat is kinda funny.

Mainly because I want Johnson to lose.

A runoff is basically guaranteed, there's no way anyone gets an outright majority in a field that crowded.
