Reply #9: I don't agree on Alaska, Maine, and Louisisana, and Nebraska [View All]

In Alaska Democrats haven't done so well in the past few elections despite scandals. Plus at the end of the day, remember that Stevens brings home the pork.

As far as Maine goes, Tom Allen is about the best candidate that could be put up against Collins, who isn't nearly as popular as Snow is. This race will get tighter as it gets closer and I think it will be a nail biter.

In Louisiana, Landrieu is vulnerable but I'm still leaning toward her to win re-election. John Kennedy is a lightweight and the fact that Rove had to court him into switching parties because he struck out with getting any better Republicans like Charles Boustany. She's also got two terms of seniority under her belt and sits on appropriations, something that Louisiana won't be so quick to give up after Katrina.

Nebraska, I think will be a tossup if Kerrey runs. He is pretty conservative and he has charisma comparable to Bill Clinton. Also Mike Johanns has been attempting to get cuts in agriculture subsidies while serving as Secretary of Agriculture, a position that I actually agree with. But in Nebraska, a big farm state, Kerrey can hammer him on that.
