TN has the problem of too strong of a Republican bench, which could make for a really fascinating primary (given the state of the Tennessee Democratic Party, the de facto general election).

Any chance Dems wrangle the ol' Indian Outlaw himself (Tim McGraw) like they were talking about ten years ago? I doubt Cooper would run

Yes, TN is a safe state, but it is also a safe state with a terribly inept minority party, so I would not count on the Democrats making a major coup like that.

Who is more inept? TN Dems or AL Dems?

Instant front runner.

Let's see if SHS can be coaxed back into the House race...

She's a lobbyist now so she could have some Evan Bayh like problems if she attempts a comeback

Yeah, no. No way.

Eek didn't know that. In that case maybe somebody like Jason Frerichs

A state I'm interested in is Nevada, out of all the 2016 swing states is Nevada it's one of the few trending dem. An the name I keep hearing is Steve Sisolak.

He's a good choice, being really prominent in clark County

IOWA: Cong Steve King (R) says he may run for Gov in 2018. Lt Gov Kim Reynolds (R) to move up to Gov, certain to run in 2018.

We may have a battle a brewing.

King could make it competitive. Likely R with Reynolds

So what's the word on Michigan? On the one hand it went to Trump but on the other hand the Flint water crisis is gonna be a big talking point against republicans at the local level

Probably between Schuette and Calley on the R side. D side should be wide open; I'd expect Whitmer and Hackel to both take stabs at it

Cloobeck was on Undercover Boss where he came off as a pretentious ass. Doubt he'd do well

If Laxalt vacates AG, I imagine Miller looks there unless he decides to gun for Heller

Yeah, no kidding. IMO Heller and Hutch were both much stronger candidates, too. Laxalt seems to be shooting party in the foot

TN-2018: State Sen. Mark Green (R) launches his candidacy:
http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/05/sen-mark-green-launches-bid-governor/96205260/

He was also one of the first people to interrogate Saddam Hussein in Iraq after he was captured.  I won't endorse for a while, but I could potentially vote for him in the primary.

What's his place on the spectrum? More like Haslam or more like Blackburn?

It seems Nevada Republicans, as expected, will run away from the remarkably popular Brian Sandoval legacy.

Dems have an opportunity here!

Mind bogglingly stupid of them. Blue state Repubs should look at NV 14 and salivate

Mark Green has a 90% rating from the ACU, so probably closer to Blackburn.

Haslam is more my cup of tea, but that sounds appropriate for a Tennessee Republican.

Is NV Gov looking to be Sisolak vs Cloobeck? I have a hunch Ross Miller runs for the open AG slot personally

Cloobeck may run for Senate instead.

Interesting. I wonder if Aaron Ford guns for a different statewide office in that case.

I don't know why I know so much about NV politics...

Any word on Rep. Mark Amodei? I remember reading awhile back that he would consider running for governor if Dean Heller didn't run. Would Amodei challenge Laxalt in the primary?

Ralston said Amodei might run for AG.

Who'd be the top recruits to run for his seat if he gets in?

Have to imagine Nolan stays out in that case

Still think MN-08 would be a tougher open seat hold than MN-01. This is a surprise though - could it mean Swanson isn't getting in?

Democrats are much stronger down ballot and have a deeper bench in MN-08 than in MN-01.  There have been 11 Distinct wide elections in MN-08 since 2012, Democrats have won 10 of them.

BTW very exited Walz is going to run for Governor even though I will lose my congressman. Strongest candidate by far IMO.  If Democrats lose the Governorship and Republicans gain the trifecta MN becomes the next Wisconsin.

So is word on the ground that Swanson is staying out, then? Thought she was the DFL juggernaut this time around

CO-GOV: Ken Salazar is not running.

Looking more and more like the Ed Perlmutter show.

Good. Perlmutter is the superior option anyhow

Obviously, the Kennedys are running for Gov in CO and IL and possibly CT. Obviously, Maria Shriver who was 1st Lady of Cali is encouraging them to run.

Cary Kennedy AFAIK is not one of THOSE Kennedys
