[Grumpier Than Thou]

Every state: whoever the Democrats nominate

(Once the filing deadlines show up I'll make real endorsements.)

except for Bernie, of course. but this.

[DavidB.]

All the Republicans, probably. Maybe 2 or 3 exceptions.

This. Though I'm likely to support a primary challenger to Jeff Flake and perhaps Orrin Hatch (though certainly not McMullin), and I may support Joe Manchin, Robert Menendez, Ben Cardin and Kyrsten Sinema.

[RFayette]

All the Republicans, probably. Maybe 2 or 3 exceptions.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Probably most of the Democrats except of extreme cases. Trump needs checks and balances, and the Republicans aren't providing it. It's way more important than individual Senators.

[Lechasseur]

All the Republicans, probably. Maybe 2 or 3 exceptions.

Me too, although I could definately see myself endorsing Joe Manchin (D) in WV. At any rate in Florida I'm supporting Rick Scott.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

With Duffy out, I have decided to endorse Baldwin for reelection.

[Kingpoleon]

I have decided to endorse Baldwin for reelection.

Okay. This is now Safe D.

[progressive85]

Arizona: Gabrielle Giffords or Mark Kelly
Nevada: Ruben Kihuen, Teresa Benitez-Thompson, or Dina Titus
Texas: Julian Castro
Utah: Jim Matheson

I think there should be a strong Dem. recruit in Nebraska, just in case its a wave.  Deb Fischer is the senator in that seat.  The other senator is Ben Sasse, who has emerged as the leading anti-Trump conservative in the Senate.

Angus King in ME, kicking the butt of Paul LePage

I wholeheartedly endorse all of the Democratic incumbents, especially Chris Murphy, Jon Tester, Joe Donnelly, Claire McCaskill, Heidi Heitkamp, Bob Casey, Sherrod Brown, Bill Nelson, and Joe Manchin.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

With Duffy out, I have decided to endorse Baldwin for reelection.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

With Huntsman out, I have switched my Utah endorsement.

[Rjjr77]

Missouri- literally any multi cell organism that runs against Claire McCaskill

Ohio- josh mandel I guess...

[Sumner 1868]

Nobody listed so far will run. I will eat crow if I am wrong.

[Mike Thick]

AL: Martha Roby
AZ: Jeff Flake (one of my favorite Senators)
CA: Whoever the highest-polling person not named "Dianne Feinstein" is
CT: Chris Murphy
DE: Sacrificial lamb Republican
FL: I'd love to see Carlos Curbelo run, but since he probably won't, I guess I back Rick Scott
HI: See DE
IN: Luke Messer
ME: Eric Brakey, maybe King if LePage is the Republican nominee
MD: See HI
MA: Probably the Libertarian, if Shiva Ayyadurai somehow lands the Republican nomination
MI: Justin Amash if he runs (but I'd prefer for him to stay in the House for now), otherwise ideally one of the non-Nugent/Kid Rock Republicans like Upton or Miller
MS: Roger Wicker
MT: Not sure -- I get bad vibes from O'Neill, but Tester isn't great either. Probably going to hold off and see if Racicot/Zinke get in
NE: Deb Fischer
NV: Dean Heller
NJ: Tom Kean Jr. if he runs, more or less any Republican except Chris Christie if not
NM: Susana Martinez would be a dream candidate, but Richard Berry is more realistic
NY: See HI
ND: Rick Becker
OH: Meh, probably Mandel
PA: Not particularly enthusiastic about my options here, but Jake Corman seems to be non-awful
RI: See NY
TN: Bob Corker
UT: Not sure, but wouldn't mind Senator McMuffin
VT: Meh -- not keen on most of Bernie's platform, but he's one of my least-disliked Senate Dems
VA: Barbara Comstock
WA: Would be nice to see a non-joke Republican here, but that probably won't happen so see RI
WV: Evan Jenkins
WY: John Barrasso

Ideally, all the sacrificial lambs would be able to run decent campaigns instead of just being randos, so that downballot candidates don't get screwed.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Nobody listed so far will run. I will eat crow if I am wrong.

Are you including the incumbents in this?

[Zioneer]

Pretty much all Democrats or independents caucusing with the Democrats. I don't have many serious inter-party endorsements, though I'm of course supporting Ben McAdams if he runs.

[Mr. Smith]

Pretty much all Democrats or independents caucusing with the Democrats. I don't have many serious inter-party endorsements, though I'm of course supporting Ben McAdams if he runs.

This...well unless Josh Romney runs and defeats Hatch and the Democrat is the guy who ran against Gary Herbert, or perhaps if a Republican actually pole-vaults through the CA jungle primary

#NeverFeinstein.
