[Gass3268]

All the Democrats + Sanders & De Leon - Cardin and Mendez

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Donnelly, Heidi, Beto, Espy have a high probability of losing
Manchin is a blue dog

[smoltchanov]

Well, it seems i am "all D" in this year Senate races (contrary to the governor one's, where i would support at least 4-5 Republicans), mostly because Republicans didn't bother to run a single serious moderate candidate in them. That, of course, includes "blue Dog" Manchin, and Feinstein in California (my only wish here would be for more blue Dogs, but - you take what you are given). Only Romney in Utah seems to be "no more conservative then state as a whole" among Republican candidates.

Republican candidates will usually be more conservative than there state as a whole, just as Democrats will usually be more liberal than their state as a whole.

I know that, and that's why i mentioned Romney. Still i would expect someone more moderate then Diehl (most likely Republican candidate) in Massachusetts, and Campbell in Maryland. It was much more interesting for me when Republicans ran someone like Brooke (or, at least, Weld) in former and Mathias in later. And, BTW, when Democrats ran someone like Nunn in Georgia, Johnston in Louisiana and Heflin - in Alabama. It simply doesn't make a sense to me to run conservatives (statewide) in Massachusetts or Maryland (even in case of "Republican conservatives") or "bold progressives" in Georgia, Louisiana or Alabama (even as "Democratic progressives"), i prefer candidates more similar to basic state traditions and politics. This year the only Republican candidate i could consider (in minimally competitive election) is Hugin, and even he - mostly because i hate corrupt Menendez

[Canis]

I endorse all the Democrats
Kevin De Leon in California
Bernie Sanders in Vermont
and Carpers Primary challenger in Delaware
but besides those all of the Democrats

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

CT: Joe Visconti (R) ---> Chris Murphy (D)
NY: Dave Webber (R) ---> Chele Farley (R)
VT: Jasdeep Pannu (R) ---> Brooke Paige (R)

What do you have against Gillibrand tho?

Way too liberal. I know I'm giving a lot more leeway to Democrats than I normally would with my Senate Endorsements because Trump, but the line has to be drawn somewhere, and I just can't justify telling people to support a very extreme liberal like Gillibrand.

This is my view on Gillibrand as well. Her flip-flopping and her showboating come off as the actions of an opportunist. Unfortunately, she will win reelection with ~70% of the vote again.

[SATW]

Original Post updated to reflect changes.

CT: Dominic Rapini, R-CT (defeated) ----> Matthew Corey, R-CT
HI: Generic Republican ----> Ron Curtis, R-HI
NM: Aubrey Dunn, Jr., L-NM (dropped out) ----> Mick Rich, R-NM
WI: Kevin Nicholson, R-WI (defeated) ----> Leah Vukmir, R-WI

I've been taking some L's lately in primaries and with candidates dropping out, but I can live w/ the primary winners in the cases listed above.

Arizona will be a major primary. I'm McSally or bust. Arpaio and Ward are unfit for office. Just like Corey Stewart.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

This is the thread for endorsements. Take your partial prediction elsewhere.

[RC]

Idk if you forgot Montana or Nebraska but I just wanted to point it out.

Also Wulfric not everyone’s a moderate FF hero like you, okay?
