Will this go down as the year of the epic fail state parties?

Well, the Republican GOP has nominated a candidate for Governor with a graveyard full of skeletons.

Would Handel have been a better pick, in your opinion? I'm not too familiar with GA politics, so I don't know all the details. Do you think Deal or Barnes will win the general election?

Alphabetically, according to the states and beginning with the Senate:

Arkansas DEM Senatorial

Florida GOP Senatorial

Indiana DEM Senatorial

Nevada GOP Senatorial



Colorado GOP Gubernatorial

Both Lincoln and Halter would have lost in AR, so I don't see a big fail there. In IN, the Dems nominated their best potential candidate, so that isn't a fail either. The FL GOP Senate nominee wasn't really a fail. The GOP just screwed up in how they handled it by encouraging Crist to run when they had a perfectly decent and electable candidate in Rubio. I agree with your other choices.
