Democrats: If you could choose one of these seats as a pick-up (the other two would be Republican holds,) which one would you choose?

Republicans: If you had to concede one of these races (knowing the other two incumbents would hold on,) which one would you give up?

Independents: Pick one race to go Democratic, while the other two go Republican.

Florida just so I don't have to deal with more Rubio spam from the media over the next 4/8/10/20 years.

This, easily.

I don't have anything especially against Portman and I'm still frustrated with the PA Dems for trashing Sestak, so knocking out Rubio would be best.

Obviously I would not like any of those three states to have two Democratic Senators, but if I had to concede one, Ohio. A Brown/Strickland duo (to me) is just bluh, but at least Strickland is 75 (would likely serve only one or two terms). Murphy is only 33, and could become entrenched, maybe even President Pro Tempore. I really don't want him to win.
The race I really want to concede is New Hampshire. I hope Ayotte goes down in flames and loses by double digits so the NRSC learns to never, ever, EVER pretend that East Vermont is competitive.

Florida is the largest state of the three and its demographics are shifting in the Democratic Party's favor, whereas I am not sure that is true in the case of Ohio and Pennsylvania.  So I would say getting that seat is most strategically important for us.

In addition, Rubio's embrace of the vile Donald Trump has been particularly nauseating.  His statement that Trump will develop more fully thought-out policy positions on the job made me want to vomit.  His sniveling cravenness knows no bounds.

Florida, because I hate Rubio (or at least his hype) way more than Portman or Toomey.

Voted Florida because it'd be funny to see Rubio humiliated.

This, and it'd be funny to laugh at Blue-avvie tears [would be rather cathartic after 2014] and watch the latte liberals try to process the FL Dems actually winning at something.

I went with PA, partly because I'm from there and partly because Strickland is old and Murphy is an unimpressive candidate (though McGinty is too). I also think Toomey is to the right of Portman, so for me this question pretty much comes down to PA and FL.

Ohio, with a heavy heart.  I like Portman's stance on social issues, but he is the most easily replaceable.  I would never turn my back on Marco.
