A Jim Bunning retirement would help Republicans — but perhaps not as much as you’d think in a state where Democrats still have a significant registration advantage.
Lincoln raised $1.7 million in the first quarter, which may further reduce the mostly-theoretical possibility that Republicans decide to mount a serious challenge to her.
Amazing.
More gems:
(Missouri) increasingly feels like a lean Democratic race.
A Republican comeback is unlikely if the uber-conservative Pat Toomey is the Republican nominee.
A nice 1Q fundraising haul by Dorgan reduces the already-slim chance that popular GOP governor John Hoeven might decide to challenge him.
Also Indiana was seen as one of the safest. And Lol at Toomey being considered "uber-conservative".
Moral of the story: Politics can be VERY unpredictable.
Err...Toomey
is uber-conservative. The Republican Party has simply become a hate-fueled cult.
Also, this article is from May 2009. That’s like mocking someone b/c they didn’t think both Georgia’s Senate seats would be competitive in mid-2019. I mean, virtually no one on Atlas did and IIRC Loeffler wasn’t even a Senator yet; in fact we all spent much of the cycle ragging on the DSCC for its terrible candidate recruitment in Georgia (meanwhile some folks insisted Kansas would be a marquee Senate race).
