I'll go with Ford, Tester and Brown. But Missouri would be quite a coup, too.

Going simply by the candidates themselves, and not factoring in who they are running against, I'd say Ford, Webb, and Tester.

Obviously I'd like to see all of them win.

I took Jon Tester, Sherrod Brown and Jim Webb. I consider all three to be very genuine straight-talkers. All are very strong on economic issues as well.

Whitehouse, Brown, Cardin.

Cardin because it's inevitable. Brown because DeWine is a horrible person. Whitehouse because Chafee's a horrible person.

Tester - He's unique, and I believe he's a very good example of an 'average working-class American'.

Cardin - He's a damn good rep... very underrated.  Plus he has a ton of experience and squeaky clean record.  Plus, he's incredibly down to earth and very friendly.

Ford - A little conservative, but I believe he would be great in the senate for a variety of reasons.

Anyway of the choices I want all to win but for the three I guess I'll say...

1.Jon Tester (Wonderful candidate in a hell of a close race)
2.Sherrod Brown (Great candidate even though I intially supported Hackett)
3.Jack Carter (because no one on earth would expect it)

I voted for Harold Ford, Jon Tester and Claire McCaskill.  I think that there really need to be more African Americans and women in the Senate and these are two examples of able, good people who deserve to win.  Victories in Tennessee, Montana and Missouri would show that the Democratic party is not merely confined to the coasts.  Tester would be great also because Burns is just so corrupt, inefficent and lame in office.  Tester seems like a hard-working, decent and true-Montanan.

Brown, Klobuchar, McCaskill because I think more women need to be in the Senate and I like these two as well.  Brown seems cool too and has a great first name, Sherrod.

Yep my man Carter isn't doing so hot. I think Penderson could have even been included over him.

I only included the 10 most likely (although I probalby should've included Lamont over Carter).

The likelihood order oughta be:

1. Casey
2. Klobuchar
3. Tester
4. Cardin
5. Whitehouse
6. McCaskill
7. Brown
8. Pederson
9. Lamont
10. Mfume
11. Ford
12. Webb
13. Carter
14......

I would put Cardin ahead of Tester. Otherwise that is more or less correct.

I like all of them a lot, but I picked:

Casey - I may not share a lot of his social views, but I would absolutely love him in place of Santorum.

McCaskill - I feel like Talent got lucky in 2002 and that MO needs more Democrats in office.

Webb - He could revive the Southern wing of the Democratic party if he wins, and the Senate needs more moderates like him.

This is a hard vote

Ford - Doesn't excite me
Webb - It'd be sweet to take down Allen
Whitehouse - If the Republicans are going to win one of these races, it might as well be Chafee
Tester - Obviously I'd be very happy to see him win
Casey - I don't like him much, but he is running against one of Virgina's crazy Senators
Brown - Obviously I'd like him to win, but there might be other races I'd prefer to see flip
McCaskill - Don't know much about him
Klobuchar - Don't know much about him
Cardin - Don't know much about him
Carter - Seems a bit of a longshot, but it'd be cool if he won

I decided to vote Webb, Tester, and McCaskill.
