How would these 2006 senate races play out nationally?

[© tweed]

Maps, preferably

Rhode Island: Chafee (R) v. Whitehouse (D)
New York: Clinton (D) v. Spencer (R)
Missouri: Talent (R) v. McCaskill (D)
Massachusetts: Kennedy (D) v. Chase (R)
Virginia: Allen (R) v. Webb (D)
Ohio: DeWine (R) v. Brown (D)
Tennessee: Corker (R) v. Ford Jr. (D)
Pennsylvania: Santorum (R) v Casey Jr. (D)

Winners:
Chaffee (though conservatives might throw in third candidate)
Spencer (Hillary has way too much baggage to win nationwide)
McCaskill (Missouri is pretty much a microcosm of America and she won)
Chase (Ditto what I said about Hillary)
Webb (If the Rep can't win VA, he can't win nationally)
Brown (Ditto what I said about Missouri)
Corker (Ford's Jesus talk scares away the national Dems)
Casey (Ditto Missouri and Ohio)

Winners:
Spencer (Hillary has way too much baggage to win nationwide)

LOL! Obviously you were'nt paying attention to the NY Senate Republican primary if you think Spencer dosen't have any baggage of his own. No way in a million years would John Spencer beat Hillary Clinton in a national election.

Rhode Island: Chafee (R) v. Whitehouse (D)

Whitehouse landslide because conservatives don't show up or run 3rd party

New York: Clinton (D) v. Spencer (R)

One of the few Repubs Hillary would beat

Missouri: Talent (R) v. McCaskill (D)

Massachusetts: Kennedy (D) v. Chase (R)

Chase wins because Ted Kennedy has too much bad name recog

Virginia: Allen (R) v. Webb (D)

W/macaca included (otherwise not close) Allen by a hair

Do others later

If you make maps like these, be sure to put the winner of the Senate Race in winning their own state.

I disagree I think on nat'l level Talent beats McCaskill and Allen defeats Webb

Hahaha yeh I love how he has McCaskill losing MO and Webb losing VA.

I'm going to assume you don't considering your usual lack of knowledge, but there is a difference between national and state elections and it would depend 100% on turnout in VA considering how razor-thin the vote was.  If the election was the next day and it rained heavily in N. VA Allen might have won.

You didn't provide one single coherent thought in that ramble Down, just a bunch of "if's" about rain and how that "might" have changed the outcome of the election.
Your ignorance is excusable since you are 15 and know nothing, as usual.

Missouri: Talent (R) v. McCaskill (D)

LOL!

Aside from the obvious in Missouri, how the hell does Talent win Minnesota? McCaskill is much more moderate than Kerry and Talnet is just a Bush clone.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

How about Florida and Minnesota?

Obviously Nelson and Klobuchar win, but that maps would be great.

I find the concept of Chafee winning West Virginia to be quite amusing

Yes, he's a horrible candidate for the state. A socially liberal budget hawk?

WV needs to start voting Democratic again so that 15-year old hacks don't think it's a GOP bastion.

The headline of this article is priceless: http://www.wboy.com/story.cfm?func=viewstory&storyid=16275

lol!

I had always predicted his lone county to be Grant, too.

Mollohan did better than Byrd? That seems odd.

Suprised me as well; he did better in Ritchie too.

But unlike Byrd he lost Grant county.

I disagree I think on nat'l level Talent beats McCaskill and Allen defeats Webb

What on Earth do you mean "on the national level"?  The voters in Missouri would be the exact same ones who gave McCaskill a 2% lead over Talent.  You don't get a new set of voters when you're voting for president.

There is a difference between voting for Sen. McCaskill and Pres. McCaskill

[jokerman]

I could perhaps see a difference if it was Governoship vs. Presidency but a Senatorial race vs. the Presidency creating a 2-3 pt. difference?  Give me a break.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

You still have yet to explain why Minnesota votes for a Bush clone over a much more moderate Democrat than Kerry.

[Gabu]

There is a difference between voting for Sen. McCaskill and Pres. McCaskill

Why would voters in Missouri want a Sen. McCaskill but then also want a Pres. Talent?

It's more like Sen. Democrat and Pres. Republican, this does make a difference

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Then why does Talent win Minnesota?

[Gabu]

It's more like Sen. Democrat and Pres. Republican, this does make a difference

That does not even come close to answering my question.

Not as amusing as Down's predictions
