I'm rooting for Sestak, just to make Specter look as idiotic as possible.

That won't be difficult.

I figure that a primary defeat would be a much more embarassing way to end his career than a general election defeat. Toomey beating Specter could just be written off as a product of the national environment. Specter would have no excuse for Sestak beating him, especiall when he switched parties to avoid a primary.

One thing I'll say is that I preferred Specter as a Republican and I would rather have seen him become and independent that defect to the Democrats quite honestly, and right now if Specter gets defeated in the Democratic Primary, I will laugh.

[WEB Dubois]

Sestak will win the primary and beat Toomey.  Toomey is too conservative to win in a blue collar state like PA.

[DownWithTheLeft]

When Hoeven jumps in does ND jump to tossover or lean takeover?

[Governor Vepres]

It's funny both Senate leaders are in trouble.

I think it's tossover, the polling has shown Dorgan still leading against Hoeven, who hasn't shown any real interest in the seat, so yeah, tossover

McConnell was re-elected last year.

Is Gillibrand really safe? Her approval ratings aren't too hot...

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Pataki was the only Republican who could have taken her down, and he's out.
