No need to worry about the democrats in this case because
A)Carr is not an an O’Donnell type or a moron like Akin/Mourdock
B)The TN rat party is close to dead, there is no bench of rat candidates in the state, they don’t have a real candidate for the seat. Donnelly was as strong a rat candidate for Indiana as was available, McCaskil was an incumbent in MO, and Delaware is a liberal state where a conservative must run a perfect race to win.
Thanks for the update from TN situation. I am always for a good hard fought contest in primaries. If Carr is a good politician and more conservative than the incumbent, more power to him. But if Carr loses in primary, and if I was voting in TN, I would always pull the lever against the rat candidate.
Lugar would have won in Indiana against any rat is how I understand it from memory.
Delaware republican congressman running for senate was the least conservative of all senate candidates but he was popular in blue MD and was supposed to win in general.
Missouri was more of a toss up as you said. But Akin blew it big time.
I was getting ready to ask if the Dems had anything other than token opposition running in that race.
Looks like Carr has at least a fair chance of winning this primary, though Alexander is quite a prominent figure in that state and it will be a very tall order.
I’d rather get rid of Lindsey Graham in SC more than Alexander if we can only get rid of one or the other. Graham holds the caucus hostage with his turncoat behavior and grandstanding to get media attention and empowers McCain.
