Did you see it? Something like +5. If people are doing straight party it should be good for him.

I can't imagine what terror the Tea Party Leg will do with McCrory no-spine as Governor. It will make the redistricting look like child's play.

i hope it's right. the conventional wisdom on this race has been pretty straightforward, i thought.
i'd hate to see what a republican governor would do to this state. WI, OH, FL, don't the people learn? don't they care? i have a son at ECU and am really worried about whether we could keep him in school if a republican comes in and cuts funding even more.

Neither is in my district, but I'd sure like to see both of those nutbags sent packing.

I also especially hope Warren wins in MA; Eric Cantor gets his scrawny ass handed to him in VA; Mourdock bites the dust in IN; and Ryan loses his House seat in WI and winds up off the gummint dole for the first time in his adult life.

we need to get rid of the obstructionists (of course, reasonable dialogue and dissent is not obstruction). I want warren, duckworth, berkley (nevada) and grayson (he brings excitement and much needed truth on the floor). also, it would be really nice for SANE americans if we didn't have to hear ignorant rants from inhofe, bachman, and their scary teahadist friends.

That would be so delicious. I want the zombie-eyed granny starver gone.

That and the defeat of the Rape-publicans (Akins, Mourdock, etc) .

I'd also love to see Paul Ryan lose his house seat. Bachmann, Allen West, Joe Walsh, Issa, and Cantor, too, though I'm not sure if any of this is likely to happen.

19. Ohio Senate - Sherrod Brown

McCaskill in Missouri
Betty Sutton in Ohio - no longer my rep
Marcy Kapture in Ohio

I don't think Joyce Healy Abrams in Ohio has a shot at Congress, her campaign was not well organized.

After the president election there are many seats i want the Democrats to win the most:

-- since I live in CT obviously Chris Murphy over Linda McMahon

-- Elizabeth Warren to take back Edward Kennedy's seat

-- Tim Kaine to beat "Macaca" moment George Allen

-- Sherrod Brown since Karl Rove has put so much money in against him

-- Jon Tester to win in Montan

-- Joe Donnelly to beat Richard "God's will to have you get pregnant after being raped" Mourdock

-- Finally, Joe Walsh and Joe "the plumber" to lose and Alan Grayson to get his seat back

Grayson in Florida. Claire McCaskill in MO. Murphy over West in FL. Vilsack over King in IA. I'd love to see Cantor get shocked by Wayne Powell in VA, though it's unlikely.

Bob Kerrey back in Nebraska taking over Ben Nelson's seat against state legislative rancher

Bob Casey, pro life Dem in Pennsylvania over Tom Smith for re-election

Carmona in papers please Arizona.


Even when they aggravate, we need the votes in the Senate.

A Republican should never have had a Senate seat in Massachusetts in the first place.


And I'd like Michele Bachmann and Allen West to lose theirs - no idea if that's likely.


But most of all, of course, I'd like to see Obama re-elected.

I cannot stomach Mike Pence & have not come to terms with him being our next Governor. I thought Mitch Daniels was bad, he looks liberal compared to this creep.
