Lankford, it's Oklahoma and he's a Republican.

I have the weirdest feeling that Ernst will become a household name like Grassley and Harkin did.

Capito or Lankford. Hopefully Gardner's near the top as well.

Capito, Lankford, Peters, Sullivan, and SMC all have pretty secure jobs, I'd say.

Cotton or Capito. Cotton is going to be on a national ticket within the decade.

Are we talking Klobuchar popular or Toomey popular?

I'm surprised Lankford is getting so few votes. Being a Republican Senator in Oklahoma basically guarantees him a 60%+ approval rating.

Jim Inhofe's approval isn't stellar IIRC.

Yes. Coburn was the one who got sky-high approval ratings.

When was Inhofe's last approval poll? The most recent one I can find is from 2010. Considering he nearly cracked 70% this past election I'm assuming it's higher now.

He's at 60+% approval, but he wasn't always that popular. Usually he was around high-40s, low-50s, not great, but enough to get re-elected easily.

Capito is probably the obvious answer, but I'll say (since there's only been one mention of and no votes for him)...

Sullivan. Alaska likes its congressional delegation and unlike Begich, Sullivan is the right party.

I went with Sullivan. He certainly has room to move up since a lot of people probably liked both candidates and voted for the incumbent. That's just a guess though.

Peters and Lankford will be fairly popular in their party's homelands - Peters strikes me as someone who could be a big D name while Lankford will be pretty generic in OK. Gardner was the other one I was debating, and while he will be popular, CO is probably too polarized.

I don't think Capito will because her form of being a moderate doesn't seem like the logical WV moderate, but I suppose she could do fairly well. Nothing overwhelming.

Voted Lankford, but Capito is also an acceptable answer.

Probably Shelly Moore Capito, James Lankford and Tom Cotton. As for the least popular new Senator, I would say Joni Ernst and Thom Tillis.

I feel like Sullivan is the true successor to Uncle Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens
