Here are the six candidates listed:
David Rouzer (R-NC)- came within 654 votes of unseating moderate ‘Rat Mike McIntyre, this time will be better prepared and not be drained by an expensive primary.
Mia Love (R-UT)- was overconfident last year, expected to waltz into office, but lost to Jim Matheson by about 900 votes. this time will concentrate on local connections. That helps, but this was one of the few districts where Romney helped Republicans. The Matheson name remains gold.
Pete Aguilar (D-CA)- should have won easily last time, but was blindsided by the state’s new primary laws. He’ll be better prepared this time. IMHO, Republicans need for Gary Miller to retire and find a better candidate.
Rick Allen (R-GA)- narrowly lost a wild, time-and-money-consuming runoff to Lee Anderson, who was a mediocre candidate. Most Republicans now wish that Allen had been the nominee. He will be this time, but John Barrow has a knack for beating the odds.
Martha McSally (R-AZ)- she exceeded everyone’s expectations and will now be her party’s top priority. If the elections go well, she will be a rising star in Congress.
Brenden Mullin (D-IN)- he did better than anyone expected, raising questions about Jackie Walcoski’s abilities, and he was no dooubt helped by the implosion of Richard Mourdock and the local popularity of Tim Donnelly. This is one to be concerned about.
I hope that Col. Martha McSally runs again. If she does, she will have a good chance to turn AZ CD 2 (Giffords old seat) red. However, she has been silent regarding her plans.
Martha McSally - jump into the race.
Isn’t Barrow the most conservative Rat in the House?
What’s wrong with Jackie Walorski ?
