Who would you most like to see lose a Senate seat in 2012? [View All]

Yesterday, I posed some questions to DUers in this thread:

I'd invite anyone to participate. I'm trying to take a look at what divides us and what unites us here at DU.

Two of the questions I posed involved members of Congress and the Senate who you'd a) you'd want to get rid of at all costs and b) who you'd like to retain at all costs.

Now, it's hard to draw any real conclusions on 16 votes, but in terms of who we like, a strong theme emerged: DU likes Alan Grayson, Dennis Kucinich, and Bernie Sanders. There were also also some votes for Franken, and Boxer and Pelosi were thrown into the mix, but those three names emerged as a kind of core support group.

Who we want to get rid of -- that's another subject. Several responders went with a variant of "too many to name." We had one "throw them all out." But one theme that emerged was that almost 20% of the responders named a Senator who (at least in theory) is a Democrat.

This leads to my first follow up question. For 2012, we have some interesting Senate races from a philosophical viewpoint.

Who would you most like to see lose a Senate seat in 2012?

I've put this in poll form, but I'd invite and encourage written responses as to the reasoning behind your vote. I selected the picks based on my perceptions of the candidates ability to be beaten (I didn't pick Richard Lugar or Orrin Hatch, for example), and Democrats that I picked were ones whose name came up in my previous thread.

As before, I am not trying to entrap anyone or call them out or violate DU Rules or sell anyone a lovely timeshare on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The point is to examine what divides us as a community and what unites us.
