42. I'm not counting Tester out yet. West Virginia, where Dems have a great candidate, is a loss.

But Democrats have several opportunities for pick-ups, and Republicans are worried about them, because the RNC doesn't have the cast to really help them out a lot.

Collin Allred may be the most likely pickup, in Texas. Incredible as it may seem, the debate he had with Cruz turned out well for him. Some polling shows him in the lead.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in Florida is also running strong, and I think Florida Democrats are being historically underpolled. That's a turnout race right there if there ever was one.

Lucas Kunce is running very strong against Josh Hawley in Missouri, especially after their recent debate. He's come from a long way back and he may just pull this out.

A lot of people are talking about Nebraska, but that won't net us a liberal Senator. Send these candidates some money if you''re not tapped out. Kind of like betting on them. I've done it, you do it too.
