[RandySF]

1. Only Feingold

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Oh, not Hagan. NC HAS to find a better Dem that her.

[Dawson Leery]

3. Begich will have an uphill climb.

The other three are 50/50 or better to return.

[NPolitics1979]

6. What about a 3 way race between Murkowski,Miller, and Begich?

Regarding the other 3,
Bayh-IN if he decides to run defeats Republican nominee.
Feingold-WI defeats Johnson
Hagan-NC is an underdog against Burr

[elleng]

4. Bayh?

Ya think?

[brooklynite]

5. UNREC

Not because I wouldn't like to see them, but because you provide no evidence or analysis.

[NPolitics1979]

7. Until those former U.S. Senators rule out a possible run for the US Senate.

I am going to predict their chances of entering the US Senate.

[brooklynite]

8. How does their decision to run in 2016 support their assertion that they'll win?

[NPolitics1979]

9. Assuming those former U.S. Senators run,

Bayh-IN is favored to win due to the fact he is popular among Independents and Moderate Republicans.
Feingold-WI wins due to Hillary Clinton's coattails and Johnson is one of the most conservative Republican US Senators, The question is Is Feingold going to avoid the same mistakes he made in 2010.
Begich-AK wins if Miller is the Republican nominee and Murkowski runs as an Independent.
Hagan-NC would have a tough time unseating Burr.

[Reter]

10. You forgot Mary Landrieu

She's LA's only hope for another Democrat.

[NPolitics1979]

14. If Landrieu were to run,

She will finish in first place but with less than 50 percent-forcing to compete in the December runoff against the Republican nominee. How will Landrieu perform in December when Democratic voter turnout is low.
Looking at the other former U.S. Senators who can make run for the US Senate again in 2016 and possibly win.
Begich-AK will need Murkowski to lose in the Republican primary and run as an Independent.
Bayh-IN is favored to win due the fact that he is personally popular and the Republican nominee would be tied to Pence.
Feingold-WI will benefit from Hillary Clinton's coattails.

11. Small, corrupt circles of Insiders.

[Badass Liberal]

12. No one is a lock.

-Feingold has a solid chance.
-If Bayh runs, he does too.
-For some reason, Dems give Burr a pass; they shouldn't. Heath Shuler??
-Nothing gonna happen in Alaska. Besides, Murkowski is one of the last sane Republicans.

13. I don't know about Murkowski one of last sane Repubs, She's trying to sell off National parks

Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Wants To Sell National Parks
The new chair of the powerful Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee secured a vote Thursday afternoon in the U.S. Senate on a controversial proposal to sell off America’s national forests and other public lands.

U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski’s (R-AK) amendment, which passed by a vote of 51 to 49, is now part of the Senate’s nonbinding budget resolution. The proposal would support and fund state efforts — which many argue are unconstitutional — to seize and sell America’s public lands. These include all national forests, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, historic sites, and national monuments.

[Badass Liberal]

15. I don't agree with her at all on conservation.

But she is pro-choice, she voted to raise pay for the troops and she didn't sign the Iran/Traitor Letter. She's conservative but she's not batshit.

[Persondem]

16. Hagan would have a chance against Burr. He is a big fat zero.

If HRC is at the top of the ticket then women should come out to vote in numbers and that could be enough to tilt the race to Hagan.

[lutefisk]

17. Wisconsin could be represented by Baldwin and Feingold in DC...

...and have the most corrupt RWNJ governor and legislature in the nation giving us nightly beatings back home in the Badger state.

What an f'd up state.

[craigmatic]

18. Feingold is the only one returning.
