This is probably one of the marquee Senate races of 2016. A 2010 rematch. Sen. Ron Johnson (R) who has been vulnerable for years, faces off against former Sen. Russ Feingold, the progressive Midwestern firebrand. Who wins this seat?

Feingold, and it probably won't even be that close. I only see Feingold losing in a Republican wave.

Both are awful candidates and hypocrites. Feingold is going to get his seat back. He'll again be an awful Senator. Johnson is also awful but he misses a huge amount of votes which is positive in that way.

Hoping we can get Baldwin out in 2018 when she'll be vulnerable with a much better Republican. Senator Ryan please?

Ryan has much more power in the House than he would ever have as a freshman Senator. The only thing he'd leave for, most likely, is a presidential run. (2020, God willing).

Most of the buzz I've seen is about Sean Duffy challenging Baldwin in 2018 -- thoughts on that?

He appears to not be far right, is well liked up in the boonies where he would need to win to beat Baldwin. I'd support his run.

It's not a marquee race. Feingold will win comfortably.

Feingold. Johnson really shot himself in the foot in his RNC speech

I'm going to guess the man who has lead in every single poll we've seen so far.

Safe Feingold.

I think he meant the term literally, meaning prominent.

Feingold 55-42.

Has this been one of the most consistent races ever btw? Feingold led by high single/low double digits since like 2011....and still does now.

Feingold, unfortunately. Sad  By far the most likely seat to flip.
