Republicans May Lose Grip on Statehouses

[TheresNoMoney]

I don't expect the Alabama, Georgia, or Michigan governorships to be all that competitive, but I think all the others highlighted on that map could go either way.

I also expect Illinois to be highly competitive. I don't know why it wasn't highlighted.

Democrats' Top 10 Pickup Opportunities:

1. New York
2. Massachusetts
3. Ohio
4. California
5. Maryland
6. Arkansas
7. Colorado
8. Florida
9. Alaska (will be tough since Murkowski likely won't run for re-election)
10. Minnesota

Republicans Top 5 Pickup Opportunities:

1. Iowa
2. Illinois
3. Wisconsin
4. Michigan
5. Oklahoma (only because of how strongly GOP the state is)

Democrats could have as many as eight pickups, while Republicans shouldn't have more than two.

and the most popular statewide official, Rick Santorum

LMAO.....

[TheresNoMoney]

Laugh at the pollsters, not me.

I do laugh at his numbers! In the last 3 Survey USA polls, Santorum's approval rating ranges from a pitiful 42%-47%.

December - 95th out of 100 Senators

He's the least popular statewide elected official in Pennsylvania.

One of those polls shows Frank Lautenberg the 99th most popular.

I see that you had to change the subject.

You stated that Rick Santorum was the most popular statewide elected official in Pennsylvania, and you were obviously lying. The guy is consistently among the least popular Senators in the country, and often ranks dead last.
