I apologize for my longer-than-expected absence. I’ve finally found the time to get around to my Senate analysis update. As of yesterday, we have a host of new updates, so I’ll head right into the actual analysis. Just a quick reminder: please remember that my Senate 2010 Analysis series is not my predictions; they are simply my take on where the races are right now. | Read More »
It has been awhile since my last Senate Analysis: way back in mid-February to be precise. The most shocking thing in the past month and a half is that there really hasn’t been any new development in the Senate races. For several months previously, Republicans had a steady stream of good news and even began to think about the possibility of reclaiming the Majority. Some | Read More »
Yesterday’s earth shattering news that Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) would retire rather than facing reelection continues the good news leading up to what could now be a historic Republican victory in November. Once again, please note that my Senate 2010 analysis is not a prediction; it is simply my take on where the races are right now. Personally, I look for things to continue to | Read More »
Things keep looking better and better for Republican Senate elections in November. My last analysis had several chunks of good news for Republicans, and this analysis continues the positive news. The fallout of Sen. Scott Brown’s victory continues to send shock-waves through Washington’s establishment from both parties. The following analysis is where things sit as of 9 February 2010. I look for things to continue | Read More »
Much has been said about the need for the Republican Party to create a “Contract with America 2.0.” It seems hopeful that party officials are thinking about this, particular leaders in the Republican House caucus. Such a Contract should include all of the major areas of interest to the traditional conservative alliance (Social, Financial, and Defense conservatives). I’m of the decided opinion that such a | Read More »
All bets are off for every Senate competition in 2010. Republican Scott Brown’s surprise victory in Massachusetts, arguably the most liberal State in the Union, showed us, more than any of the upsets from 2006 or 2008, that no party has dominate control of any particular Senate seat. That said, I’m going to continue my Senate 2010 analysis as I have in the past. These | Read More »
For my update from early-January, click here. I’ll do my regular full State-by-State analysis toward the end of January/beginning of February, but I just wanted to post quickly and say that I think Sen. Brown’s resounding victory in Massachusetts heavily affects the 2010 elections and beyond. I continue to say that Republicans will probably keep all of the seats they are defending, including MO, OH, | Read More »
Lots of great stuff on this, a big news day for the Senate… – krempasky Several major changes have taken places in the last month in the world of 2010 Senate elections. The biggest legislative event probably significantly helps Republican chances of gaining seats in 2010: Obamacare passed the Senate along party lines. Unfortunately, most of the other developments have not been as positive for | Read More »
A lot has changed in the last month in the Senate races for next year! The current healthcare debate has brought about more changes than most saw coming in just a short amount of time. A possibility that no one would have dreamed of just one year ago, that the Republicans could retake the Senate, is now becoming real. It’s still an uphill climb, and I | Read More »
This is a continuation of my previous diary regarding what I believe the realistic status of various races is. Some of these races that I consider competitive may become less-competitive while some that I see as uncompetitive may become competitive. A lot can happen in 13 months. Please feel free to give feedback, updates, and notes in the comments section. This proved quite helpful for | Read More »
This is my first diary on RedState, though I’ve been around for quite some time. I’m usually a stalker, so please bear with me. Following is what I believe to be a preliminary outline for the 2010 Senate Elections. I have tried to be fairly accurate in basing what I have written on reality instead of what I would like to happen. Many thing can | Read More »
