Barbara Boxer is back in our e-mail queues asking us to identify a Democratic Senate challenger for an injection of support. All the challengers (to a GOP incumbent, let's play nice) are listed. Oh, and Amy Klobuchar, campaigning to hold Dayton's open seat in MN, and Bernie Sanders, trying to hold Jeffords' seat for... well, for Vermonters, I guess.
Let's share our thinking, shall we?
My own impulse is to rule out all the long shots: Jean Hay Bright, Erik Fleming, Pete Ashdown, etc. (Hint: if you're trying to remember who Erik Fleming is running against, you're making my point for me.)
The names that loom up at me from the list are: Jon Tester, Claire McCaskill, Amy Klobuchar, Sherrod Brown.
I'm leaning against Sanders because he doesn't appear to need help; I'm leaning against Casey, who has led all along in the polls by comfortable margins. But maybe that's counting unhatched chickens.
Your thoughts?
