Do they stand a chance? Yes, especially with a strong recruit like Pawlenty, and considering that Smith has never actually won an election in her own right. Is it a substantial chance? Probably not, but it's a chance nonetheless.

Depends on who runs. I don't want to discount Pawlenty's chances, the guy won in 2006 on the same day that Klobuchar won her first term by 20%.

Pawlenty barely won reelection (by less than one point) because of a popular third party candidate and because the Democratic nominee was stupid enough to argue with and lash out at reporters (he called one reporter a "Republican whore"). Pawlenty got lucky.

It takes more than luck to win in that kind of a state in that kind of national environment — plus, he was polling within a few points of Hatch before the incident you mentioned.
