I'm not so sure about the Republican pickup in Colorado especially if Tancredo is the nominee, but I agree with everything else including Fitzy 2014!!!
@JerryArkansas, I'm predicting a lot of these based off of polls, the states of the economy, approvals, scandals, how well each candidate is known etc. and a lot of the things I mentioned here adhere to the benefit of gubernatorial Democratic nominees. Mainly only people in Schauer's district know who he is while only people in Cuyahoga County know who FitzGerald is and barely anyone knows who Burke is. Once they get ads out and running and run on positive, progressive, anti-Tea Party platforms, at least two of them will probably end of winning.
Mike Ross on the other hand has an uphill climb with Hutchinson having a 2 point lead over him when Beebe has a high approval. Pryor certainly won't help Ross on the ballot much and neither will Obama. I feel unless Ross gets Clinton's endorsement, it will definitely benefit Republicans to win back the Governorship.
You have to remember one thing about Hutchison, he has a checkered past and his family history will not help in this race. Ross also has low name rec, which will go up. He also is almost going to get the endorsement of clinton.
