Remove Bosworth and Nelson from Senate contention. Nelson lost, and Bosworth has just been indicted for election fraud.

Shouldn't we have a Mark Sanford forum? Dude was a great governor and is pretty good so far. The same for a few other incumbents as well o.o

Oh yeah I forgot about him. Big whoop when he won but haven't seen anything about his votes or him going on record about anything serious. What's he up to these days?

 

[Michael Landon]

How about Stewart Mills MN-8?

I don't think he can be scored as he hasn't really voiced his opinion on many important issues, but he is a Libertarian turned Republican who seems to be running his campaign on gun rights and opposing Obamacare.

The fact that he used to be a Libertarian makes me think that he just may not speaking out about his stances on other issues. NRCC is supporting him so he must have a decent shot of winning the seat.

From the comments:
"rogerdatbatty said...
He's a libertarian too. Ron Paul's boys in the state GOP are backing him. As are the local Tea Parties."

Anyone have any info on this guy? Is he someone we should look at?

I just thought about it when he defended libertarians. Ik he helped fight against the NSA. That's about it.

Any reason you don't have former U.S Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire on this list?

Probably because he's a retread of failed policies that got us into this situation in the first place. Oh and he's an AIPAC lackey and in really tight with MIC.

Senator Bob Smith is the featured speaker at this NH4Israel event. Sen. Smith has been a long time friend of Benyamin Netenyahu and a solid supporter of Israel. Discussion followed by a Q&A afterwards.

Paul Hollis (LA-Sen) has withdrawn. Replace him with Rob Maness.

Says a Tom Cotton supporter.

Don't put non-liberty candidates on the list.

I didn't realize you were such a big Bill Cassidy fan.

Tom Cotton is very fiscally conservative. He has voted against the Omnibus, Farm Bill, Debt Limit Extension, Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act, etc. He has a 92% FreedomWorks score for 2014. Jeb Hensarling, who Justin Amash backed for Majority Leader, received the same score.

Mark Pryor is no bleeding-heart liberal. You would have to be blind to not see that Tom Cotton would be a clear improvement over Mark Pryor in the U.S. Senate.

No offense, but Bachmann gets like 90% for freedomworks


Virtually all of these candidates have zero chance. Can we break it down to the ones that have the best chance and the ones that already got the nominee?

 

[Smart3]

I went ahead and added Maness, and made the rest of the changes.

You know my views on Cotton.

3 stars, for what? We've been down this path before... http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?434055-Rob-Maness He's been using his military title to warmonger, from virtually the start of the campaign. You keep refusing to add Goehmert to the list but he actually has a track record on fighting for what we hope Maness will fight for.

Can we update this for serious contenders now? Some of these people have already lost. Also, I think it would be good to add Mark Walker and Gary Palmer

Palmer should win handily in his district due to high Republican %. He's a neo-con hawk though so clearly not a liberty candidate. Any candidate that National Review, Redstate and the Weekly Standard all fawn over is not a liberty candidate.

Walker isn't terrible but sounds like a typical GOP type.

We could use this list updated.....

The only solution is to turn control of the op contents over to someone that's actually regularly engaged on the forum. Not sure if that's even possible. Or a mod/admin could take over the contents and update it.
