For me it's Sherrod Brown because I'm from Ohio. If I were from somewhere else it would probably be Elizabeth Warren.

Spike89
(1,569 posts)There is something terribly wrong with him and I'm totally dismayed at how heavily he's being financed--I see at least 4-1 angry, weird, and ugly Robinson campaign signs to every DeFazio sign. Partly that may be that I'm in a pretty divided area of Springfield and it isn't always a good idea to post liberal signs. We had the back window shot out of our pickup (well, they shot the obama bumper sticker out, but it was on the window). Didn't change my voting, but sure made me think twice about bumper stickers and yard signs.
I do have a deranged neighbor with Robinson magnets on their cars, huge signs everywhere in their yard, and a little Romney sign.

For losers, I would like to see Michelle Bachman, Joe Walsh, Akin from MO, Murdoch from IN, and Allen West all lose. I would like to see Paul Ryan lose both of his races. He is a scumbag of the highest order. Well, they are all scumbags.

(25,415 posts)Interesting fact:
If Josh Mandel loses in Ohio and Chris Murphy wins he would be the current youngest Senator, at 39. I had no idea about that until a few days ago.
He was my Rep and he will make a great Senator too.
And no Linda McMahon to deal with. Joe Lieberman was enough, thanks.
Elizabeth Warren is a close second.

5) Bob Kerrey (Senate - NE)
6) Jim Graves (MN-6)
..and yes, I want Warren to win. I just want these races more.That said, A Senate with Elizabeth Warren and Al Franken will be a spectacle to see!
BTW, when this election cycle is over, you might want to consider sending a few bucks to Al Franken, because the GOP will come after him with everything they've got in 2014.

riderinthestorm
(23,272 posts)as one of "Rahm's DINOS".
Since then she's quietly and effectively worked to prove her bonafides as a progressive (especially against Joe Walsh). Even as she's built her health and stamina up remarkably. She had a hard time with the campaign rigor since her combat wounds were still very, very severe (if I fault Rahm at all its because she may not have been 110% physically recovered). Now she's much more mobile and her fitness level is incredible.
I worked on her campaign when she ran against Peter Roskam (her campaign was always doomed to fail as Henry Hyde's seat) but I actually really like her personally. She's a lovely progressive.
There's a lot of great recs on this thread (Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown and others) but I feel a real connection to Tammy Duckworth and hope she pulls this off.
