Well,
He will of course LOSE but this is good democrats are lining decent recruits almost everywhere 
.
Really?
Who is preparing to run in the following states with Senate elections in 2016?
1.Alabama
2.Alaska (I don't think anybody expects Mark Begich to run)
3.Georgia
4.Idaho
5.Kansas
6.Kentucky (The Dems will probably get a decent candidate if they win most of the statewide races in 2015)
7.Louisiana (see above)
8.New Hampshire (Maggie Hassan is still bogged down by the budget, but both Annie Kuster and Carol Shea Porter are running in the House races.)
9.North Carolina
10.North Dakota
11.Oklahoma
12.South Carolina
13.South Dakota
14.Utah
2 of the 3 Democrats running in Iowa don't appear to be great either as they got crushed by Roxanne Conlin in the Democratic Primary in 2010.
Shuler for NC. For NH, Hassan has the 'right of first refusal' and so far, she hasn't said anything definitive. When/If she rules it out, Kuster will probably give the race serious consideration.
Kuster is running for reelection no matter what Hassan does. The preferred candidates should Hassan decide not to run for the Senate seat are Executive Councilor Chris Pappas and 2010 nominee Paul Hodes and neither of them have indicated they would run.
Heath Shuler no longer lives in North Carolina and he is a member of a lobbying firm that lobbies for something that is regarded to be against the interests of the people of North Carolina. So, he's definitely out as are the other former Democratic House members Brad Miller and Mike McIntyre.
Dan Blue is probably their highest profile candidate remaining though Grier Martin would probably be the favorite candidate of the base. 2010 candidate for nomination Cal Cunningham may be the likeliest to run though there are three mayors also apparently considering running, though I don't know how seriously they are considering it.
