2008: lamar alexander vs. russ feingold

[WalterMitty]

how would a race between lamar alexander/norm coleman vs. russ feingold/mark warner turn out?

for the record, id support lamar.

[Moooooo]

Hmm...  If it was Mark Warner/Russ Feingold this would be alot easier.  Feingold being jewish, in my opinion really hurts him.  But Ill give it a shot anyway.



Im not certain on the strength of the jewish population in states like Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, so I cant really get a feel for how this election would go.  But the map above is what I came up with.  If anyone disagrees just let me know and I will change it.

Switch WV for VA, as VA was closer than WV this year and Warner is popular there.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

two 1 term Senators who haven't accomplished crap and are just complete party hacks? As much as I dislike the GOP I doubt they'd go ahead and nominate two jokes like that.

My map:



Feingold wins 296-242.

If only all of you people could be so lucky as to have Lamar as President!!!

[Wakie]

OMG, an election where I like both candidates?  No way!

I'd vote for Feingold but I think Alexander would win.  The GOP would use Feingold's Patriot Act vote against him.

there is more to the two men than their senate careers.  for example, alexander was a very successful two term governor of tennessee and he sec. of education.

prior to be elected to the senate, norm coleman was....ummm....give me a minute....didnt he manage the clinton/gore 96 campaign in minnesota or something?

He was the Mayor of (insert one of the twin cities here).

Can someone clarify Feingold's position on Clinton?

I think it goes something like this.  He voted for the investigation because he either wanted him convicted and kicked out of office or cleared completley.  He didnt want anything in the gray area.
