For the Dems, the nominee is Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) and the VP nominee is Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO).  For the GOP the nominee is Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) and the VP is Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS). Map in a sec....

Yeah...right...Virginia for Feingold. And Brownback could take Rhode Island against John Kerry.  Roll Eyes

Just to bring up Flyers' map again, why do Democrats think Russ Feingold, of all people, would win Virginia? Bill Clinton wasn't able to win the state yet a liberal like Russ would? Put down that Democratic Kool Aid, guys.

Maybe its my personal loathing for Bill Frist, coupled with a general apathy for Russ Feingold, but I'd certainly prepare for a fairly comfortable Feingold win.

Except for Viginia obviously, Flyers' map is probably the closest.  Colorado would be safer Dem if Ken Salazar replaced DeGette.

this is a good question to which i have no answer. the onl t way he would have even the slightest chance would be if he ran with Warner.

IrishDem's map is pretty accurate imho, except for Virginia.  With Frist's current record in the senate, I doubt he'd be able to win the nomination, let alone the general.

I'd stay home or vote Libertarian. Aside from that I really don't know who would win.

Feingold has a better chance of winning but I wouldn't entirely rule Frist out. I just wish Feingold was voted out of office last November. Tongue

It could have happened if Neumann ran again or if you nominated Darrow. I still have no idea how/why Michels got the nomination...

Because he was a lot better than Darrow, I would have voted Michels in the primaries if I could have.

Next to Welch, I thought Darrow was the most well known. Michels seemed to come out of no where.

Yes he was young and new to politics but the people (including me) liked him better.

I'm starting to believe there will be significant GOP-fatigue in 2008 (not just 2006):

One of the most Charasmatic members of either party against  an utter & total bore



Feingold wins 336-202 edges Frist out in Missouri due to his midwestern appeal

No, Feingold does not win Missouri, barring Frist doing a Dukakis. Besides; as much as I like Russ a big land mine he faces is his campaign finance act that he might try to circumvent in the campaign.

Against anyone else I would not have him winning it, Frist is an absolutley horrible candidate, and Feingold could take it

Missouri would be close >5%, but it becoming blue? Not very likely.

I think the combination of a midwesterner on the ticket & someone as horrific of a candidate as Frist it gives Missouri about a 1 pt victory for Feingold.  Granted anything this close could really go either way, so I am in no way suggesting Feingold would be a lock to win the state.  I would pretty much say a slightly better than a 50/50 chance

I say Frist gets less than 70% in Utah.
