The contested senatorial races in November 2010

The contested senatorial races seem to be in:

California: Barbara Boxer incumbent D vs Carly Fiorina the former CEO of HP R
Colorado: incumbent Michael Bennet vs Ken Buck R of Tea Party
Illinois: dashing state treasurer Alexi Giannoulias D 
                      vs representative Mark Kirk of R
Nevada: incumbent majority whip Harry Reid D vs Sharron Angle R of Tea Party
Washington: incumbent Patty Murray D vs former senator Dino Rossi R

The states where 'freedom' means something -- democrat supporters, could be -- seem to support the freedom not from corporations but governments.  In case of New Hampshire, 'live free or die' and they do not support the freedom in the civilized society such as to whom you love and to what sort of life you would lead.  They are exalted by the possibilities of getting death penalties back in their hands.  In Colorado, a safe Democrat state otherwise, are looking to be free from governments -- and under private corporations which seek profits.  They do not recall what troubled them in Republican rules.  The heated housing market and the subsequent collapse of large financial institutions, and the resultant bailout agreed among the lawmakers from both parties.  Or they oppose only the last part of the sequences. 

The incumbents always have the advantage, for reasons such as the prospects of getting aids from the government.  In small economies, those aids play a big part in their lives, not only in public sectors but in private sectors.  They would lose jobs by cutting off budgets.  In such cases, there must be reasons why those small economies prefer big corporations' seeking profits.  That must include something to do with PR sections which offer them new materials, or some specific privileges such as offshore drilling. 

Or rather it is a human drama -- Sarah Palin did not endorse incumbent Lisa Murkowsky from Alaska or this senatorial race in November and now Joe Miller is running as the Republican candidate.  Murkowsky is running as a write-in candidate instead.

Florida: governor Chris I 
      vs Speaker of Florida House of Representative Marco Rubio R
Wisconsin: three term senator Russ Feingold D vs businessman Ron Johnson R
Missouri: Secretary of State Robin Carnahan vs Representative Roy Blunt R
Kentucky: Attorney General Jack Conway D 
        vs Rand Paul R, the son of the Presidential candidate Ron Paul
West Virginia: governor Joe Manchin D vs businessman John Raese R

Religions always comes into play -- the targets are, the weaks.  For mental stability, for peace of mind, they need religious backing both for financial reasons and for true supports.  The son of the presidential candidate Rand Paul was with Aqua Buddha, Christine O'Connell states various religious views of hers.  She asked "where in the Constitution is separation of church and state?"(*).

New Hampshire: Representative Paul Hodes D vs Attorney General Kelly Ayotte R
Ohio: Lieutenant governor Lee Fisher D 
    vs US Trade Representative under Bush, Rob Portman R
Pennsylvania: Representative Joe Sestak vs Representative Pat Toomey R
Conneticut: Attorney General Richard Blumenthal 
         vs businesswoman Linda McMahon R
Delaware: New Castle County Executive Chris Coons 
         vs Christine O'Donnell of Tea Party

Indiana: Rep. Brad Ellsworth D vs former German ambassador Dan Coats R
North Dakota: state senator Tracy Porter vs governor John Hoever R
Kansas: university administrator Lisa Johnston vs Rep Jerry Moran R
Alaska: Sitka mayor Scott McAdams D 

               vs incumbent Lisa Murkowsky R 
               vs US magistrate judge Joe Miller R
Utah: attorney Sam Granato D vs businessman Mike Lee R
Arkansas: incumbent Branche Lincoln D vs Rep John Boozman R
Hawaii: incumbent Daniel Inouye vs state rep Campbell Carvasso R
Maryland: incumbent Barbara Mikulski 

              vs county commissioner Eric Wargotz 

It seems like, buying woman at the price of $300 does not deter people from winning at least the primary as in the case with David Vitter, the Republican incumbent (*).
