There have been rumblings of that, but I don’t even know if she can win. The populated areas, sure. But the rural areas are another story. After all, we have white babies to save because their evil mothers are trying to abort them right before birth.

Now the variable here is Kris Kobach. If for some reason Kobach would win the Republican Senate primary, then yes a strong Democrat could win against him.

so, is kris kobach the only reason you have a dem governor right now?

I read somewhere that McConnell was trying to get Pompeo to quit State and run for that seat to crowd out Kobach.

Georgia still has a lot of work to do on voting fairness so that this next election doesn't get stolen as well. I have a friend in Georgia who is a person of color and met all the residency requirements and was given a provisional ballot for reasons no one could explain to her. She had to jump through hours of procedural hoops to ensure her vote got counted. Most people don't have the means to do this.

PP here re: Kobach in Kansas.

If I’m 100% honest, I do believe Laura Kelly won the governorship in Kansas because Kobach is so onerous. Had Governor Jeff Colyer won the Republican Primary, I think he would have won the 2018 general election.

I campaigned hard for Laura Kelly, so it pains me to say this. Colyer - who moved up from Lt. Gov. when Trump gave Brownback a silly political appointment - was a whole lot like Brownback, but did an adequate job of concealing it. Colyer is such a detestable person, but he can be congenial. Kobach wears his disgusting personality like a badge of honor, so people who supported him are the same ones who support Trump..

Kelly might have been helped by Sharice Davids, and vice versa. What may be lost at the 10,000-ft. level is that the Kansas House of Representatives became more extreme in the 2018 election, even though Kelly was voted governor. Koch & Co spent vast amounts through special interest groups to get 10 new, highly extreme legislators voted in across the state.

We spend our days fighting Koch here. No sooner do we win ground in one area than we lose it in another. If you ever want to see an election bought, just moved to Kansas and watch.

+1 I would love to see someone give Mitch a run for that seat. His popularity rating is in the 30s.

Texas - return of Beto?
Louisiana - Mitch Landrieu is a force
Montana - didn’t Tester just win there?
Kentucky - Dems will throw $100 million into defeating McConnell
Kansas - didn’t Kobach just lose there?

Seems like a pretty solid map to me. Can’t imagine republicans feel safe in any of those states.

Recent piece from Republican Jennifer Rubin, describing (paywalled) piece in Cook Political Report. Sounds ugly for Republicans.

Presently, the concern for Senate Republicans should be: What, other than the shutdown, the attempt to end the Affordable Care Act and passage of the unpopular tax cut can they claim to have accomplished? Judges, I suppose. But that alone is unlikely to save them if Democrats have the wind at their backs.

The "emergency" vote will be telling as well. Do the GOP Senators respect the US Constitution or Trump?

Hockenlooper should drop out of Presidential race and focus on Colorado Senate.

Mitch Landrieu definite should run in Louisiana if Gov Edwards does not. If Edwards runs, then Landrieu should run for Gov.

Susan Collins has a big problem. She is a traitor against women.

”It has always been crystal clear that he intended to use his position to attack abortion rights, and thanks to Susan Collins, women will now pay the price,” Penniman said in a statement. “This will go down in history as a key portion of her legacy, and it’s a reality that she will have to answer for next year when she faces voters.”
