Kaine is leading in Virginia (at the moment), Hoekstra majorly screwed up in Michigan with his racist and offensive Superbowl ad, Snowe is retiring, leaving the Pubs to scramble for a candidate, and Bob Kerrey is going to run for his old seat in Nebraska, which has improved our chances dramatically. I'm a little concerned about Warren in Massachusetts though it is still early and she is largely unknown. It may be close but I bet that she can beat Brown. I can't wait to see what the debates are going to be like for that race. Obviously, this is all early and subject to change but it's looking brighter.
