Why do you support Tom Cotton and Cassidy?

I might change the endorsements to Green candidates in both states if there are any who decide to run, but I just can't see myself endorsing these two Senate Democrats. It's based on a number of issues including the controversial background check vote and not invoking support for same-sex marriage (Pryor) and attacks on the ACA (Pryor & Landrieu). I would rather have Pryor kicked out than Landrieu, but Landrieu I still see as a traitor for someone who actually did vote for the bill back in 2010, yet proposed a horrible bill that would allow people to stay on their current plans which goes completely against what the law stands for. She also supports the Patriot Act.

That doesn't mean Cotton and Cassidy are great candidates though or even close to that. They're horrendous, but endorsing them is the best way to join the cause of unseating Mark Pryor.

Kansas: Chad Taylor (Milton Wolf in the primary)

A quick update with two of the big primaries now over.

How are you enthusiastic about Kay Hagan but reluctant about Landrieu?!

Crap! Thanks for noticing that. Edited and yeah, she's pretty much another Landrieu when it comes to mah state's rights on same-sex marriage, tighter border security along the border, signing off on the Alberta-Gulf Coast pipeline extension, and both are often notably anti-establishment/anti-Reid.

In that they both support SSM

They both support SSM, but to an extent. Landrieu personally supports SSM, but she also believes her voters are right in maintaining marriage as a man and a woman. As for Hagan, she still supports religious freedom for institutions when it comes to SSM and she did initially believe to that the issue should have been addressed by the state (the same state that supported the 2012 SSM ban).
