Turn-out will be higher. The economy will be better (at least it better be) and Obama will be at the top of the ticket:
Republican incumbent elections 1 Jon Kyl of Arizona 2 Richard Lugar of Indiana 3 Olympia Snowe of Maine 4 Scott Brown of Massachusetts 5 Roger Wicker of Mississippi 6 John Ensign of Nevada 7 Bob Corker of Tennessee 8 Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas 9 Orrin Hatch of Utah 10 John Barrasso of Wyoming
First, Olympia Snowe will be defeated in the primary by some teabagger. So ME could be another DE-and a possible pick up for Dems. Next Dems did pretty well last night in MA because they were motivated and had candidates who actually campaigned--if a strong Dem can go up against Scott Brown, we could win back Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. I'm not sure Kay Bailey is going to run, but if she does she might be vulnerable. Dems proved in Nevada that they have a great GOTV machine--and who knows Angle may even challenge Ensign and he might lose in the primary! What about Kyl is he vulnerable? (as far as I'm concerned the only safe republicans on that list are Lugar and Hatch--but who knows? they might be teabagged.
But looking ahead Dems have our own problems: If the farm belt I think probably Ben Nelson of NE and Kent Conrad of ND are vulnerable--and of course we have to replace Lieberman with a real democrat--not even sure Lieberman will run. Given how badly the Dems did in Michigan last night I don't think Stabenow can be feeling really good right now, but if things are better economically she and all dems will be in better shape.
