2014 US Senate Election- Most Vulnerable Democratic Held Seats.

WV(OPEN-Rockefeller-D)Tennant-D vs Capito-R
SD(OPEN-Johnson-D) Herseth-D vs Rounds-R
AR(Pryor-D) vs Darr-R
AK(Begich-D) vs Treadwell-R
LA(Landrieu-D) vs Cassidy-R
MT(Baucus-D) vs Stapleton-R
NC(Hagan-D) vs Berry-R
Democrats lose WV and SD but pick up GA(OPEN-Chambliss-R) Gingrey-R vs Barrow-D -1D
Worse case scenario.
Republicans recruit Cotton-AR and Daines-MT, Democrats end up with Carter or Nunn in GA. -4D

Wish you were right.
This state is now owned by the rethugs
All of the former blue dogs dems have changed parties.
We now have zero, count that zero statewide elected dems
Pubs have super majorities in statehouse
Plus, it's a non prez year....our base doesn't turn out well then.....
I used to work my tail off volunteering in this state trying to turn it back around....now know it will only happen with a big change in demographics....we need more aas, Hispanics, young people, liberal northerners to move here.

Democrats to nominate their strongest candidate- Barrow and the likely Republican nominee making a major gaffe- ie 2012 IN US Senate Race.

He is a verrrrrryyyyy.....blue ....blue dog
That being said he beats the hell outta of rethugs paul Broun or Phil gingrey who are both vomit inducing....broun might make a stupid rapelike comment...after all, he believes conception begins with the first handshake.

I don't think Darr will get the nomination, it will most likely go to Cotton, who will make this a real race down to election night.
