The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has unveiled Brad Carson (OK), Barack Obama and Ken Salazar (CO) as their Dream Team. Uhhh…guys, it is nice to showcase the diverse talent in this year’s race, but women tend to throw more money in when there is a little testosterone balance on the Dream Team. Admittedly, of the challengers for the Dems this year only Farmer has any shot–and that isn’t a good shot, but as a fundraising appeal, it might help.

In other Senate news, Grassley has a challenger in Iowa. Art Small. He will probably do worse than the last challenger, one David Osterberg–a former professor at my alma mater–Cornell College. But that wasn’t very good either.
Just Farmer?
Inez Tenenbaum has a better shot in SC than we could hope for; combine that with SC’s horrible economic woes and I would argue it’s a better chance than even Farmer. Also, Betty Castor presently polls better in Florida than any of the other major dems.
Yes you are correct, though they couldn’t use Castor–she has opposition and DSCC can’t get involved in contested primaries–same actually with Farmer who has an opponent, but I don’t believe Tenenbaum does. So thanks for the catch.
