Whether it was Mark Kennedy and possibly Katherine Harris in 2006 or John Kennedy and Tom Allen in 2008, what challenger that appears top notch now will go down in flames come election day 2010?

If I had to vote my vote would be with Robin Carnahan in Missouri

Simmons, I think? Yeah he's not going to get anywhere. Dodd should be him pretty comfortably.

What makes you say that? He's a moderate former representative. Sounds like he would be a pretty good fit for CT.

Keep wishing. Blunt is going to be the one to go down in flames here. You don't realize how unpopular the last name "Blunt" is here in Missouri and how exactly opposite the last name "Carnahan" is.

I don't know her - but I have a feeling that the flop candidate is going to be this Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire.  The media is gushing over her just like they were about whoever ran against Klobuchar in 2006.  I think the major surprise candidate is going to be Carly Fiorina.

We'll see this when the whole democratic party goes down in flames. Wink

Whoever it is that challenges Reid, would be my random guess, although Simmons or Marshall or whoever the Democrats nominate in NC could easily be candidates.

Kelly Ayotte sounds like a likely pick.

Yes, I agree, but your state continually chooses those who should go down in flames (post Governor Wilson).  Arnold, Boxer, Waxman, Issa, Davis, Pelosi.  There's enough to go around.  And for some reason, I think Carly's got that "magic" Smiley touch.

Yeah, the fact that she's never run for political office before increases considerably the chance that she'll do something stupid.

Kelly Ayotte and whoever the democrats nominate in KY.  Other candidates with high flop potential are Mark Kirk, Roy Blunt, Rob Simmons, Pat Toomey, and Arlen Specter.

Pat Toomey, once the state of Pennsylvania realizes how conservative he really is.

she got fired from both HP [CEO] and the McCain campaign [economic spokeswoman]


something tells me California voters aren't gonna fall in love with a CEO who got fired for incompetence, ran her company into the ground, and took tens of millions of dollars in a golden parachute as a severance package

Who said anything about love Smiley.  I'm just talking about who your state elects, and they are people who clearly are unfit for elective office.

we're a shallow electorate, true, but it's not a matter of whoever is the MOST unfit that wins...otherwise Gary Coleman would have won his bid for governor

Well, yeah, its not just a matter of that - but it plays a big role.  That whole thing was a circus and it should have been just McClintock against Bustamante, they were far more serious candidates than anything else that came out of that race (the stripper, Larry Flynt, Arnold, Arianna Huffington, the peyote guy).  I will say this - I think Arnold is being the grownup right now in your budget crisis, and thats pretty sad.

If the Democrats nominate Jack Conway, there's greater than a 50-50 chance he'll win.
