Getting back to senatorial runs, apparently the Governor of Maine has flirted with a run multiple times

2018-02-16 03:02:27 UTC  

Paul LePage? He seems to be quite popular, and would definitely make it competitive.

2018-02-16 03:03:08 UTC  

Yeah, definitely, especially since King has the unique issue of the vote split since he's an (I)

2018-02-16 03:03:33 UTC  

Baker? You mean King, right?

2018-02-16 03:03:41 UTC  

lmao forgot his name

2018-02-16 03:03:41 UTC  

You corrected that as soon as I posted.

2018-02-16 03:04:13 UTC  

yeah, but in any case, that's an interesting possibility

2018-02-16 03:04:41 UTC  

LePage has gone back and forth on this for years now, if he decides to run, I think it'd be an easy win

2018-02-16 03:06:11 UTC  

I think Virginia and Maine are unappreciated battlegrounds.

2018-02-16 03:06:30 UTC  

Maybe not VA in my opinion, but definitely Maine

2018-02-16 03:06:46 UTC  

Trump was decently close to winning the state at large in 2016

2018-02-16 03:07:17 UTC  

Corey Stewart can drive up turnout in the rural areas and appeal to Northerners, and if Tim Kaine's creepy behavior towards children is in adds, he could pull off a win.

2018-02-16 03:07:33 UTC  

I certainly hope you're right

2018-02-16 03:07:54 UTC  

Corey's a good guy

2018-02-16 03:08:50 UTC  

He managed to win election in a 60-40 Dem-Rep area, and Kaine is poisoned by his Clinton run, so an upset is definitely possible.

2018-02-16 03:09:20 UTC  

Hey, I hope so.

2018-02-16 03:10:31 UTC  

New Jersey could be possible if the R's have a strong candidate. Not hoping on it, but the incumbent is scandal-ridden.

2018-02-16 03:10:54 UTC  

Gotta add Corey.

2018-02-16 03:10:56 UTC  

Alright, I'll look up the candidates and update the list

2018-02-16 03:13:55 UTC  

The New Jersey declared candidate list is garbage

2018-02-16 03:14:27 UTC  

Still, over half of people want Bob to resign, so it might be a potential upset.

2018-02-16 03:14:31 UTC  

Thomas Kean Jr. is a good potential one though, and apparently he's been calling out illegals even in the fucking Bush era

2018-02-16 03:15:23 UTC  

Let's hope he runs to make this more competitive.

2018-02-16 03:15:40 UTC  

Yeah, I'll put him on the list since he's the most viable

2018-02-16 03:15:57 UTC  

NJ somehow manages to get the worst candidates at everything

2018-02-16 03:16:25 UTC  

Kean Jr. is doing well in polling also

2018-02-16 03:16:31 UTC  

The only other potential flip is Maryland, and that's only if Chelsea Manning wins the primary.

2018-02-16 03:16:58 UTC  

NJ Republican party after Christie is a mess

2018-02-16 03:17:02 UTC  

Maybe New Mexico if the current governer runs for Senate.

2018-02-16 03:17:17 UTC  

she's unpopular

2018-02-16 03:17:40 UTC  

ouch, -20 approval

2018-02-16 03:17:44 UTC  

she'll lose her seat, she's pretty done in politics after she loses in 2018

2018-02-16 03:17:53 UTC  

Dang.

2018-02-16 03:18:19 UTC  

Well, this seems to be the absolute best case scenario if the stars align:

2018-02-16 03:18:42 UTC  

lol

2018-02-16 03:18:45 UTC  

if only, if only.

2018-02-16 03:19:12 UTC  

lmao we'd be able to get the NFA repealed with those numbers

2018-02-16 03:19:18 UTC  

i'm not even sure Nevada can stay red

2018-02-16 03:19:26 UTC  

this is best case

2018-02-16 03:19:31 UTC  

Eh, it's a toss up.
