Spencer Abraham won the last Michigan open seat.

Which was in 1994...and then he promptly lost six years later.

Of course, the good people of Michigan tossed that bumb out in 2000. His successor has thrashed all her opponents since then!

I have a very hard time believing that Begich and Landrieu will win and Peters and Hagan lose.

Begich/Landrieu are better campaigners and retail politicians.

Krazen's posts are underrated. Of course he's a hyper-partisan republican, like some people here who are hyper-partisan democrat, maybe a bit optimistic for his party, but he hasn't bad political analysis.

His attention trolling, offensive animal analogies, and blatantly racist innuendos outweigh any 'good' he brings to Forum.

Doesn't change the fact that their states are some of the reddest in the country.

Yes, but both states trended strongly to Obama and candidate quality is important.
