Good lord that man is thick as a plank. Hasn’t he gotten the message he’s unliked? Didn’t Kansas just toss him out on his kiester?

If Kobach gets the nomination and Dems are able to field a strong candidate, it's not unrealistic for them to pick up this seat (would be a huge pickup). They did just elect a Dem governor...

Isn't that the seat they're trying to get Pompeo to run for? When's the deadline for him to enter? He'd take out Kobach in a nanosecond, and almost certainly win.

Sounds like from Bloomberg that Collins may retire. Either way, she is in trouble and that Maine seat is up for grabs.

If she retires that’s an easy D pickup.

Well, at least the Democrats are winning the money race for the Senate in 2020!
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/democrats-are-winning-the-fundraising-race-in-the-senate/

One of the strongest signs of a blue wave in the 2018 election was the green wave that preceded it: Democratic candidates running in that cycle raised googobs of money (a highly technical term). So in addition to indicators like the generic congressional ballot and special election results, the second-quarter fundraising reports filed this week with the Federal Election Commission are another clue as to whether Democratic momentum will carry forward into 2020’s congressional races. And while it’s still early in the election cycle, it looks like fundraising is once again a bullish indicator for Democrats’ success, at least in the Senate. (We excluded House races from our full analysis because of the sheer number of districts, but for what it’s worth, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had raised nearly twice as much as the National Republican Congressional Committee as of their last FEC reports.)

In competitive Senate elections — those that the three major election handicappers rate as anything other than solid red or blue1 — Democrats have raised $34.1 million in total contributions in the first six months of 2019, and Republicans have raised $29.3 million. (A handful of minor candidates did not have second-quarter reports posted on the FEC website as of Tuesday at noon, so these numbers may be incomplete.) That gap is especially troubling for the GOP because there are eight Republican incumbents running in those 14 races, and incumbents usually raise more money than challengers early on. While Democrats have only four incumbents running, they’ve raised more than four times as much as their Republican challengers in those races. And in the two open-seat races, Democrats are outraising Republicans $1.9 million to $763,771.

Maine I think is 70/30 odds on flipping.

She has several challengers, and with journalists would stop focusing on Gideon.

"She isn’t the only Democrat in the primary race: Betsy Sweet, who ran for governor on a platform that included single-payer health care, and Bre Kidman, an attorney who is, according to HuffPost, 'the first openly nonbinary U.S. Senate candidate,' announced their campaigns earlier this year. Two independent candidates are also running: Danielle VanHelsing, who would, according to the Portland Press Herald, be the first openly trans member of Congress, and Tiffany Bond, who recently ran to represent Maine’s second congressional district and lost to Democrat Jared Golden."

This is small potatoes. Nothing matters anymore. Where's the Trump inaugural money?

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with using PAC money to reimburse oneself for donating to a political campaign, is there?
