I find the comments made by the OP to be just as disturbing in some cases as the comments made by these self destructing candidates.
1. Nevada - Dean Heller is a capable, sane and honest man who I tend to agree with on most issues that I care about. He has also ran a good campaign and I hope he is able to hold on, even as Romney losses the state.
2. Arizona - Jeff Flake is someone that I watched in the House for years and was impressed by his both his committment to principle and his willingness to tell the Delay-Hastert GOP leadership team to shove it, sideways. I think that he is someone who will be able to bridge a gap with a lot of Libertarian leaning Republicans and that is something the Republican party needs to do going forward.
3. Montana - There are a lot of things about Rehberg that turn me off, but this is a deeply conservative state, if not as much Republican and it is a seat that was only lost because of Burns and his corruption and should be one the GOP regains. I even think that Rehberg should have ran in 2006 and had he done that, he would be an incumbent looking to win reelection in a landslide now.
Had MO, ND, and NE selected different candidates, I would be more interested in them and they may have knocked one or even all of the ones listed off.
