Levin was preceded by a Republican, Robert Griffin, whom he defeated in 1978. So it would be a reclamation of a seat, after a long tine.
The only Senate seat the GOP has NEVER held is the Hawaii seat that’s up this year. We had the other seat at the beginning of the state’s history.
In addition 2 other seats have never popularly elected a Republican and were last GOP held prior to popular election of Senators. They are Landrieu’s seat in Louisiana, that was last GOP held in the early 1880’s and appointed rat Senator Walsh’s seat in Montana that was last GOP held 1907-13. We should take both this year.

This is great news. I still worry about a gaffe by Land, but she hasn’t made a serious one yet. She’s proven to be surprisingly steady. If she wins, it’s hard to see ‘Rats holding the Senate.
