While it is unlikely that we will win this race, I have not given up all hope. Democrats recruited a strong candidate for this race and if Capito slips up, I think Tennant will be poised to take advantage. Whether Tennant will be the Robin Carnahan or Heidi Heitkamp of 2014 remains to be seen.
Now S.D.? There's a race where I have given up all hope.
Capito =/= Berg. Not even close.
The Dems are in fine shape though. If we just concede WV/SD/MT, we can pick up Kentucky and hold on to most seats(we're favored in all but Louisiana right now).
Those are the three I suspect we will lose as well. But yes, while some of the incumbent Democratic senators running for reelection are in better shape than others, none are remotely close to "Blanche Lincoln territory." What's primarily hurt us in the past are open seats.
