There's still a lot that needs to be settles before then.  And what about Michigan?

[Donerail]

You're far underestimating Begich (especially against someone like Treadwell), Udall (especially against someone like Norton), and Democratic strength in Kentucky (where Democrats control almost all statewide offices) and Montana (where Baucus is leading "R" by 6 points and Schweitzer leads "R" by 8 points). South Carolina as well is iffy; Lindsey is all but certain to draw a primary challenger, and then who knows what kind of crazy a primary will spit out.

[Talleyrand]

Udall would easily defeat Norton except possibly in a huge Republican wave, and considering her pathetic campaign in 2010 when her party had its strong tailwinds in a generation, I'm not entirely sure she'd be able to take advantage of her either. Republicans need to nominate John Suthers, Mike Coffman, or Cory Gardner if they are serious about challenging him.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

SD, WVA, AK are gone and kay hagen, is suspect as well.

[Donerail]

SD, WVA, AK are gone and kay hagen, is suspect as well.

Begich isn't gone. Not by a long shot. He's stood up for Alaska on every issue that's important to the state, from pusing back on the pushing back on the EPA over Shell Oil's permitting battles to questioning the military's realignment of fighter jets to protecting Native 8(a) contracting to keeping Alaska's fisheries out of harm's way. He has surpassed al expectations. As an incumbent he has a huge advantage in fundraising and has been a prolific fundraiser since his days in the Anchorage Assembly, and will have big donor support now. There's also no plausible opponent. If Parnell challenges him, eh'd have to announce in 2013 to start raising money, but that'd mean the governorship will be open, setting off Republichaos. If Parnell doesn't, then you see any number of challengers run in a race-to-the-right ugly Republican primary, critically damaging the nominee, who then of course has to face Begich, who is a very intelligent man with no qualms about running a scorched earth campaign against any Republican. There is no challenger with the intelligence, moderation, and experience of Begich. He's an incredible politician, and just because he's fro a Republican state he isn't automatically beatable. He's been right on all the most important Alaskan issues, and if we're out of the storm in two years his vote on the stimulus won't matter (and when increased Obamacare benefits to seniors kick in in 2 years, you lose that attack as well). Begich will also have a ton of administration officials helping his campaign. Incumbents don't lose to challengers, they beat themselves, and Begich has no history of self-destruction. Alaska: Democratic hold.

Is Baucus reallly that vunerable against a first time congressmen?

[NewYorkExpress]

if TARP is still an issue than yes, he would be more so than Tester was against Rehberg.

[Mr.Phips]

if TARP is still an issue than yes, he would be more so than Tester was against Rehberg.

TARP will be over six years old by the time the 2014 election rolls around.  That would be like a Democrat attacking a Republican for supporting Bush's Social Security plan in 2012. 

[sg0508]

Way too optimistic from the GOP's standpoint.  Udall will win relatively easily in CO and if Brown is smart, he'll run for Gov in MA

1. Udall is not losing
2. I sincerely believe the IL GOP is not dumb enough to nominate Walsh, plus 35% is too high for him.
3. The much more established, popular and well known Rehberg couldn't beat Baucus in the 1990s, or a much less known Jon Tester in 2012, what makes you think a 1st term congressman could be Baucus?
4. George Allen, I love the guy, but he aint running again. He's officially politically dead, sad to say.


Also, Reynolds wont run I think in Iowa. And Scott Brown winning is suspect.

Two I have to disagree with;

1) NJ - Booker is unbeatable and against Garrett, I'd still bet Booker wins by 15-17 points. However, I think State Sen. Mike Doughtey is a more likely contender, and I still say Booker wins by 18-20 points.

2) Mark Warner is more popular in VA than Bob McDonell; if that is the race I'd suspect a Warner win by 10-12 points.

John Suthers and Cory Gardner have a better chance beating Udall.

Harkin's out in 2014 anyways. So I guess Dems pray King wins or Latham doesn't run, but the Iowa race just got A LOT harder for them.

If King is the nominee, he loses unless the Democrats f**k-up unimaginably. It really is just that simple. I doubt he'll be the nominee, though, I think he understands his state can't elect him to the Senate and he's comfortable enough in the House. The same, in reverse, goes for Barrow, of course.
