Senate 2020

Do Democrats have good people lined up to challenge Cory Gardner in Colorado? Would Hickenlooper challenge Gardner if he doesn't make much traction in the presidential race?

How about Susan Collins in Maine? I know Susan Rice mentioned it in a tweet maybe a year ago, but I've heard nothing since.

How about Abrams in Georgia challenging Perdue? I heard she might, until the rumors of her teaming up with Biden started.

How about in Arizona with McSally?

(Yes, posted as a break from all the commentary about Barr/Mueller/etc)

Forgot all about Kelly in Arizona. Seems like a great candidate - astronaut, husband of mass shooting victim.

(Alabama) and that one would be a Dem hold.

After the tough maps of 2016/18 I thought 2020 would be better.

CO looks like the only pickup opportunity.

I think Arizona and Georgia are good possibilities, especially if the anti-Trump momentum continues

Perdue won a close race in 2014 against Sam Nunn's daughter in Geogia

And, McSally lost a close race to Sinema just last year in Arizona. Will she be a good candidate against a well known figure in astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords?

Can Democrats get a good candidate in Iowa against Joni Ernst? She's been underwhelming in her first term.

Collins in ME could be vulnerable against a good Democrat. Will we field one?

Cindy Hyde Smith won a close race last year in MS. Could Mike Espy do better with more time & money?
