(4,835 posts)I don't see Boozman going anywhere. Unless the tide has changed and I missed it.
I watch a local political show occasionally and the democrats are so insignificant locally (state house) that they have republicans debating republicans on policy.
We got our asses handed to us in 2014, and I'm not seeing a lot of encouraging news.
I don't think Rand Paul is going anywhere, either.
The most interesting is Ayotte in NH. I'm thinking that race can go ANYWHERE at this point. Same as Clinton v. Trump.
Far as I can recall, Rubio is getting out of politics altogether. Who's running for his seat?

(4,835 posts)But there are 33 senators up for election and the list above only contained 13. Hopefully there are some others that are more vulnerable.

(11,605 posts)When we get Democrats elected there they shill for Walmart and vote with the Republicans a lot. I'd rather put our dollars and effort into getting Democrats elected in places like Wisconsin, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, where we can get real Democrats in office.

(25,428 posts)When "progressives" stick to their unrealistic expectations and stay home, we get clowns like Club for Growth Johnson.
And, yet, we never seem to learn from it.
