NM is out of play.
I think the senator in Colorado will be a tough race, partly because we are lacking credible challengers. Right now, the most likely and tangible candidate would be Attorney General John Suthers, but he hasn’t declared whether he is running yet. If there is a backlash against the moonbats, we could have a shot, but the question is, how sick of progressive utopianism are Coloradans?
Warner has been rated as being “safe” by most election-watchers because of high approval ratings. He wouldn’t be impossible to unseat, but I’d say much more credible chances can be found in Alaska and North Carolina, perhaps even Iowa and Michigan. I’m not sure why however. Warner is as big a rat as they come. What has happened to Virginia?
Well, NM, CO & VA all have one thing in common... their Senators are execrable across the board. Still, we would be remiss to give any of said incumbents a pass. The thing is to tie Mark Udall to the anti-gun extremists in the state (ditto Hickenlooper, who is also up for reelection).
The GOP blew premier opportunities in 2010 in CO by putting up weak or terrible & untested candidates. Both the Senate & Gov candidates should’ve been bounced. I suggested bringing in highly popular elder statesmen like Bill Armstrong & Hank Brown to run in their places, as both would’ve easily prevailed. Even Jane Norton would not have blown the race like Buck did for the Senate against a nobody Dem placeholder. Inexcusable.
A good test will be if those recall elections are successful. If they are, the Dems are in big trouble, and only a repeat of GOP incompetence could save them.
As for VA, the Warner-McDonnell showdown has been expected from the time the latter won the Governorship. What’s happened to VA politically is that the state’s proximity to DC has seen NoVA turn a bright shade of Communist Red (sorry, kids, I don’t use the newspeak colors - blue is GOP, not Dem). 20 or so years ago, those suburban counties were reliably Republican (and had been since they turned out old-line Segregationist Dems like Howard Smith in the ‘60s). But with the rise of the overpaid and overperked big gubmint workers, those taxpayer funded millionaires are voting for their bennies, not for what’s right. I know, since I have relatives there and the one highly-paid fella doesn’t want the gravy train to end.
Northern Virginia, which has become a suburb of the corrupt, French court Democrat capitol sucking the life out of the country like the capitol in Hunger Games. Plus a vast encouraged influx of illegals being enticed by government bennies so good that illegals move into Fairfax County to get away from Prince William County's efforts to cleanse itself of illegals.
