We might need a 2014 candidates forum imho. Tom Davis is going to be running against Lindsay Graham, it seems. Although eventually, if he pans out, I hope he'll have his own subforum.

McConnell might be too big of a task to pull off, being in charge of the Senate establishment.
is jack hunter going to help out tom davis in 2014?
Amen. Though it now seems you're for McConnell, Collins:

you could have a sitting senator running in the party's primary for
the other seat, winning... and then going into the general election
and if sucessful, the senator resigns only to see senator who had
the other seat winning the primary for the special election and then
the general election in a total swapping of senate seats? the very
ancient & longstanding custom in the senate of accumulating a high
degree of seniority put a stop to these poly~sci flukes most totally.
McConnell has positioned himself well in 2014. I don't think it will be worth the effort to unseat him in 2014. We could run liberty candidates South Carolina, Alaska, Minnesota, New Hampshire, etc with the money and political capital it would take to take down McConnell.
Um, the two 'slots' are identical. You have a senator and you have another senator. Period. So, the reason we've never seen a senator step down from the senate after winning his or her election two years later to run against the other senator. It would make no sense at all. Both their votes count the same.
The senior senator is the one of the two who has been a senator the longest. The junior senator is the one from a particular state who has not been in the Senate the longest. And when the senior senator retires or gets beat, the person who takes over is then (obviously) the junior senator. Even though he took the senior senator's seat.
If anything run a 3rd party conservative to split the vote
Thomas Massie for Senate?
Definition of political insanity: Voting for the same people expecting different results.
Unfortunately it's true. However the benefits of having someone run against him anyway, if done right, could make it worth while even if they won't win.
HA HA HA, no not hardly. I don't support Mitch in any way at all.
I had heard rumors that David Adams might be considering it?

If we do not mount a primary challenge (we only have Massie and Hightower in the wings, so we probably won't), then I suggest we support the Democrat. ABM=Anyone but Mitch!

Its funny how people join McConnell instead of working to remove his bastard ass from senate. Yeah ,I get it there is a lot of money involved and its just easier to join them if you can't beat them. I understand its the "smart" thing to do.I hate politics.
