I've got $500 to donate

I'm thinking that the best use would be in a flippable Senate race. Which campaign/candidate(s) would be the most productive option?

For a pickup? Sinema (AZ) or Rosen (NV) brooklynite Oct 2018 #2

Yes, a pickup is the priority. MANative Oct 2018 #3

I agree that Sinema (AZ) is a good choice. Bredesen (against Blackburn in TN) too. femmedem Oct 2018 #4

If you want to help Beto O'Rourke, don't give him money (he has plenty), contribute to the competitive TX House races.

Some analysis here: https://presidentialpoliticsblog.wordpress.com/2018/09/10/2018-midterms-two-months-out-the-senate/

There are a couple of Dems in danger of losing their seats, too. Nelson in FL and McCaskill in MO, for example.

Sinema (sp?) - Arizona
O'Rourke - Texas
Heitcamp - North Dakota (no I'm not giving up. Who knows how energized Dems will get?)
McCaskill (sp?) - Missouri
Bredesen - TN

Their not all flipable. In some we need to preserve our seat.
