Today i start new serie of diaries about the next electoral round. I will include 2009 and 2010 elections for Senate and guvernatorials.
I will start by Senate. In next days we will scan all seats, starting of course with republican incumbents. The most hard seats for Democratics.
Any of this seats can be vulnerable in 2010 elections? Any surprise?
Any strong candidate? I thing very few after J Napolitano and T Daschle nominations for the cabinet.
In Alabama seems J Folsom Lieutenant Governor and former Governor, can run again for Governor. Maybe rigth. What you think?
In Georgia M Cleland or R Barnes can run?
