Jon Keyser failed to make the ballot. He submitted 16,067 signatures, but only 11,436 were deemed valid. He needed 1,500 from each CD, and he apparently fell 86 signatures short in CD 3.

I agree. If things don't change, Republicans should concede this race and focus entirely on Nevada and maybe Maryland as possible pick-up opportunities. It's sad because Bennet is definitely very vulnerable.

Maryland?  I think Republicans should focus on picking up NV, and defending PA, FL, and OH.  Those are their four firewall seats for holding the Senate.  If this was a midterm year, and Szeliga was running against Edwards, then maybe Maryland would be competitive, but I don't think so.

What we need to do (if we lose the presidential election, which is looking possible thanks to Donald the RINO) is maintain at least 53 seats in the Senate.  That makes the path to 60 in 2018 very, very realistic (probably more likely than not).

At this point you should be hoping to end up with more than 45 seats this election in order to win back the Senate at all in 2018.

The problem for Democrats is that the same early general polls that show Clinton crushing Trump in a landslide show most incumbent GOP Senators leading their Democratic opponents (sometimes by wide margins). The only Republican who appears kind of doomed is Ron Johnson.

I would add Kirk to the doomed list as well. Also, GOP Senators may be outperforming Trump right now in the polls, but that may not likely be the case 6 months from now after countless ads have been run connecting them to Trump and the things he's said this cycle.

This is the guy that the Colorado GOP thought could make the race competitive? Him?
