There’s plenty of senate race rankings on our numerous blogs but I’m tired of seeing at the top of every list #1 Virginia. It’s a done deal for takeover. So is #2 New Mexico for that matter. But I wanna talk about this year’s marquee races. The one’s that harken back to the ’06 races of Virginia (Allen/Webb), Missouri (Talent/McCaskill), Montana (Burns/Tester), Tennessee (Corker/Ford), etc.
The one’s where we didn’t know the results till the next day. The one’s we’ll tell our grandkids about. I remember on Election Night ’06 jumping up and down with excitement the second Jim Webb’s vote total flipped passed Allen’s. So what races are revving your engine this year? My personal picks:
1. Mississippi-B (Wicker/Musgrove)
2. Minnesota (Coleman/Franken): My pick for potential to get the dirtiest.
3. Oregon (Gordon/Merkley)
4. Alaska (Stevens/Begich): Conrad Burns Redux
5. Maine (Collins/Allen): Based on sheer money spent.
Others with potential to sneak up there in loose order: Colorado (Schaffer/Udall), Kentucky (McConnell/Lunsford), North Carolina (Dole/Hagan), New Hampshire (Sununu/Shaheen), Texas (Cornyn/Noriega), and Louisiana (Landrieu/Kennedy).
