| McGrath was a horrible candidate. Booker is a long shot but I won't totally discount it. Stranger things have happened. |

Pa is not an issue. Fetterman has cross voting bloc appeal.
More risk of NH flipping if sununu gets in |

| I don’t know why people think democrats can’t win in Florida. They had a democratic senator as recently as two years ago. For a few years in the early-mid 2000s, both seats were held by democrats. |

People are flocking to Florida and they aren’t democrats. |

From a former House Republican who lost in 2018:

Governor Sununu is running for re-election and NOT for the Senate.
This is a huge blow to the GOP Senate changes of retaking the majority. The other GOP hopefuls are MAGAs that aren't super popular in the state. |

New Hampshire has a track record of voting out competent, pragmatic, centrist politicians when the national mood is ugly against that politician's party (ie Kelly Ayotte). While Maggie Hassan can breathe slightly, she can't breathe too much either. It will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe Ayotte will run again. Local polling in NH not too long ago showed Ayotte slightly behind Hassan but Hassan herself was well under 50% in that matchup, suggesting independent/moderate ire (ie the undecided) will be a major factor in the final outcome. |

I wonder if sununu made his mind up after doing the Republican jewish pilgrimage out to Vegas a few days ago and realized he wanted nothing to do with the people there. Staying up in NH and being gov (he’ll cruise to reelection) means you don’t have to deal with that crowd. |

| Governor is a much better job than Senator. Schumer has to twist Hickenlooper’s arm to get him to run. Bullock as well but he lost. Still wondering whether Hogan gets in. |

It depends on your personality. Senate is more fun. You get to opine on whatever you want. You have access anytime you want to multiple national media platforms to speak your mind. The young women in dc are hotter than back in your home state capital. Especially if you are a senator from a state that has less caucus “leader” influence from the opposing party (Alaska, Maine, nh, wv, az etc) you have lots of power to sink things and walk around like a king/queen. The downside is senate requires way more fundraising if you don’t have a vast fortune or personal juice to fall back on. Governor is a lot of responsibility. It’s a lot more work. You have to deal with a lot of dry and boring subject matter. |
