Three tiers, no undecided races:

Rosen, Romney - I'm a dem so duh Rosen. I also like Romney because he seems fully prepared to pick up McCains torch as a Loyal Conservative but breaks lines on politically radical issues.

Braun - Nondixiecratic changing parties gives most people a different perspective on politics. I doubt Braun ends up as a moderate, but I doubt he ends up tarred and feathered by MSNBC, a la Cruz or Graham.

Cramer, Blackburn, Hawley - all owe their current positions to Trump, and represent the Trumpification of the GOP.

The two Republicans whose victories I predicted most perfectly were Marsha Blackburn and Kevin Cramer. So it's something of a coincidence that they would respectively be at the top of my personal list.

I have 2 from that list, since Sinema has not been declared a winner yet.
1. Rosen
2. Romney

Can someone explain Rosen? 2 years ago she was a computer programmer, per Wikipedia, until Harry Reid recruited her to run for the House (Why? Was she well known locally? How did he even know of her?), and now for the Senate.

Sinema.

Jacky and her are the only ones that don't entirely suck. Not terribly impressive either, so I let attractiveness break the tie.

Delete this poll until the votes are actually properly counted and we know who actually won in FL and AZ.

It's almost like she wasn't the horrifically bad toxic Roy Moore-tier Weak Candidate™ Atlas thought she was solely because they didn't like her haircut, speaking skills, thought she was "uninspiring", and because she trailed in junk polls. Go figure. How could anyone have predicted that?!

Apparently she's a Jewish community leader in the Las Vegas area, although that still doesn't fully answer why Reid knew about her.

None are great but Rosen sucks the least(Sinema is too much of a moderate hero for my tastes, even if  it may have been helpful electorally).

I don't know why some lefties here dislike Rosen. I mean, she talked about $15 minimum wage, free public college, defending Medicare, etc. in her victory speech. I guess she's too "shrill." Roll Eyes
