? For those in AZ, NC, ME, CO.

[Funtatlaguy]

We need these four states to take back the Senate.
If you live in one of them, please tell me which Prez candidate you think would most help the Dem Senate candidate in your state.

1. Good Question!

I'm sticking with Klobuchar. Mid-west values, reminds me most of Obama as she has no drama. Will be able to work well with the new Democratic Senate. Her win in Minnesota proves to me she can keep the interest of the Democrats who went for Trump. Those are the most important voters in here in Colorado that we need to have on board.

2. Hickenlooper (Colorado--to defeat Corey Gardner) is a moderate, as is (Michael Bennet)

For that reason, Hickenlooper would likely be helped by Biden. (Bennet is not up for reelection until 2022). While Hickenlooper is obviously not the only Dem running, he is the most likely candidate to win the nomination (polling with over 60% support currently among Dems).

That said, Colorado went for Sanders in the 2016 caucuses, yet supported HRC in the general with a plurality.

The only recent poll, albeit a small one (Emerson, Aug 20, 2019) had Sen. Bernie Sanders leading with 26% support, Former Vice President Joe Biden comes in a very close second with 25%, and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is third with 20%. The margin of error is 4.8%.

.
Hickenlooper has a current strong lead over Gardner: 53:40 in the one projected match poll.

3. Biden

Extreme left activism doesn't play in any of those states.

[GeorgeGist]

7. Love the Republicanism in play.

[RhodeIslandOne]

9. Which Democratic candidate do you consider an "extreme left" advocate? n/m

[RobertDevereaux]

4. In Colorado, Cory Gardner is so reviled...

. . . that I believe any of our Democratic Prez candidates would help turn the trick.

More electoral oomph will, I think, ride on which candidate wins the Dem primary.

My pick is Andrew Romanoff, though I think a few others are in contention at the moment.

My ugh-non-pick is Hickenlooper, Mister Lover of Fracking.

Needless to say, I'll be voting straight Dem, all up and down the ticket, come November 2020.

[hlthe2b]

5. Whie I remain ambivalent, Hickenlooper has overwhelming support & is likely to get the nom.

The Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday (Sept. 10) found that Hickenlooper had the support of 60% of Democratic voters, followed by former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, with 9% support. None of the other candidates in the poll — including former state Sen. Mike Johnston, who exited the primary Tuesday — scored above 3% support, and 16% of respondents said they were undecided.

[DavidDvorkin]

15. I agree.

[Funtatlaguy]

6. Lotsa Colorado input. How bout Maine, NC, Arizona folks?

[RhodeIslandOne]

10. Maine didn't vote for Trump

So I don't think it matters much who the Democratic nominee is.

The bigger problem is that Maine has gotten too comfortable with old shoe Susan Collins and probably won't be familiar enough with her opposition.

[Celerity]

12. and Manchin will be up there campaigning for Collins

[RhodeIslandOne]

16. What a disgrace

Joe is openly saying he can't work with an actual Maine Democrat?

[Celerity]

17. and he is not even up for re-election for 5 more years, so it isn't like his supporting that scum

Collins is needed for Rump-loving West Virginia stooge voters.

Plus there is this

8. In NC, only a highly charismatic candidate with a big message would help.

[RhodeIslandOne]

11. If only we could recreate 1998 John Edwards

That fuckin' idiot.

[yardwork]

21. He turned out to be a narcissistic jerk.

[Celerity]

13. Foxx and Stein, by far our two best candidates, are still both refusing to run

Tillis is so ripe for the picking

[yardwork]

22. Tillis is a two-faced little rat.

[Celerity]

23. +10000

[grossproffit]

14. Biden. I'm in Arizona.

[DesertRat]

18. Kamala Harris in AZ

Our Senate candidate, former astronaut Mark Kelly, and his wife former congresswoman, Gabby Giffords endorsed Harris’ Senate campaign in 2016.

[dsc]

19. In NC we actually have a governors race with our Senate race

last time this seat was up with the governor's races was 2008. Hagan won by a huge margin, Perdue for gov by a small margin, and Obama by a very small margin. Cooper appears to be in good shape, Tillis not so much. It would be nice if the presidential candidate carried NC (I think Biden followed by Harris have the best shots) but I don't think it is as necessary here as it would be in a state without a governor's race.
