What three senate races are you looking forward to the most in 2010?

[ccharles000]

My three.

1-Burr NC(I hope Roy Cooper runs)

2-Judd Gregg because he is leaving office NH

3-George Voinovich because he is leaving office OH

[nsd]

1. I'm looking forward to Al Franken finally(!) being able to take his seat.

And I hope we don't have to wait for 2010 for that to happen, but at this rate, who can say.

[PBS Poll-435]

2. Gregg's, Voinovich's, and the soon-to-be-open-seat in Texas

:-)



NC will be a good one, as well!

[stevedeshazer]

3. Jim Bunning-Kentucky

Crazy old nutcase and approval rating of 43%.

Diaper Dave Vitter-Louisiana

Only won by 51% last time, before the Baby Huey scandal.

Arlen Specter-Pennsylvania

No explanation needed. Time for him to be replaced by a Democrat.

[camera obscura]

7. HAH! I hope Bunning decides to stay in, the RNC is begging him to retire!

It would be so sweet to watch him get his ass whupped after that campaign he ran in '04.

[creature of habit]

4. Ted Kennedy's seat will have to be dealt with

*before all that*

[PBS Poll-435]

5. So Governor Patrick will appoint someone to fill it

99.9% sure that that person will be a Democrat.

But hopefully Ted will recover through his current treatment regimen and it won't be an issue.

[sniffa]

15. Not true

Massachusetts now has a special election to fill the seat. That came into being in 2004 so that Mitt Romney wouldn't be able to fill Kerry's seat.

[PBS Poll-435]

18. Ah. Thanks

I completely forgot about that.

:hi:

[JayMusgrove]

27. There are a dozen well qualified people in Mass to...

take his place, but they will be JUNIOR Senators from Mass.

Barney Frank, State Attorney General Martha Coakley, just to name two of many.

Mass will have no problem finding a well-qualified person to replace their most admired Senior Senator.

[SoxFan]

33. Tsongas, Reich, Capuano, Neal

Lots of possibilities

[camera obscura]

6. TX-Sen, MO-Sen, FL-Sen. Honorary mention: LA-Sen if Stormy Daniels actually runs.

[PBS Poll-435]

8. Ohh....

I forgot about LA!!!



Goodbye Senator, Luvs.

[yellowdogintexas]

9. yeah baby, getting rid of Kay Bailey Hutchison ....I will not miss the Breck Girl nt

[Corey_Baker08]

10. OHIO George Voinovich For Sure--SOS Jenniffer Brunner....

As well as Lt Gov Lee Fisher and I believe another candidate has already announced they are forming exploratory committees! This is a seat I truly believe will be picked up by a Democrat. I would strongly support Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to be the candidate because I have personally met with her after the 2004 election and expressed to her my concerns about election fraud and the dire need to reform the office of SOS. She was very kind and knowlegable about the matter, and sure as shit she was elected and the 2008 election went smooth as can be in Ohio-and she if a strong advocate for early voting which in my opinion is one of the greatest ideas to ensure that all people have the opportunity to vote!

[Soupy Liberaltarian]

11. How many GOP and Dem seats are up for grabs? n/m

[lamp_shade]

12. Not a senate race, but I want to see Michele Bachman ousted.

[mvd]

13. I'm in PA, but Specter's vote made me move him down to #3

#1 Gregg (NH)
#2 Vitter (LA)
#3 Specter (PA)

[Hokie]

14. Franken - Coleman

I just hope it's over by then and Al is seated.

Actually, Jim Bunning . I hope he runs and loses.

[DesertRat]

16. John McCain AZ

That's the only race that I can focus on at the moment.

[beltanefauve]

17. I'd like to see

Dianne Feinstein ("D"- CA) replaced by a real Democrat.

[MasonJar]

19. 1.Definitely Bunning (please let him run) and 2. Vitter (must go) and

3. all other GOPers (may they all disappear forever.)

[damonm]

20. Kansas, Missouri, and Florida

[Exilednight]

21. Mine are a little more obvious .......

The NY Seat that Hillary vacated. Hopefully a real Democrat will run for the seat and not one sponsored by the NRA.

The Illinois seat should be interesting.

And I am curious to see if Biden's son will run for his father's seat.

[agentS]

22. LA Senate: Diaper boy vs Porn Star

YOU KNOW ITS COMING! AND COMING! AND COMING!!!

[ccharles000]

26. ewww

[Arkana]

23. Robin Carnahan in Missouri.

That's a pickup for us if we can beat the guy they replace Kit Bond with.

[loyalsister]

37. It looks like they may have a primary to deal with

Roy Blunt vs. Sarah Steelman.
Makes Carnahan's chances that much better.

[SoxFan]

24. Senator Paul Hodes

[AZBlue]

25. McCain, McCain, McCain

[jenmito]

28. I hope Franken will finally be declared the winner by then. n/t

[WeDidIt]

29. My greatest wish today is to see Richard Shelby lose his seat n/t

[ddeclue]

30. Florida Florida Florida...

It's an open seat and we can take it back from the Republicans.

[cooolandrew]

31. I'll give them time to redeem themselves before they get chased out of town but otherwise they're >

done.

[AllentownJake]

32. Specter is my number one

It will be interesting to see if the threats to run a primary opponent are true. If they are I expect Arlen to lose his seat before the General Election and for a democrat to walk in by a landslide because PA has become deep blue.

[creeksneakers2]

34. Arlen has to beat the odds twice to win

Once in the primary. Specter almost lost to a winger last time. This time he has the vote for the stimulus package against him. Even if Arlen wins the primary, plenty of Republicans won't bother to vote for him in the general.

His race will divide the GOP irreparably. He's getting on in years too. I don't expect Specter to run.

[AllentownJake]

35. Toomey won't be back he's announced for Govenor

but I can always dream of a return of Santorum....beating him again and watching him cry on TV would bring sweet Shadenfreude to me.

[creeksneakers2]

36. That would be fantastic!
