I am afaird Christie will win In November.With Virginia the party out of power amost always wins.

2014 races
_______________________________________________________________
NV-we need a ethics free candiate.Heller barely won In 2012 because of ethics charges
against Berkeley.
NM-Martinez Is popular despite NM trending Democrat
Florida-Scott Is In serious trouble.He's very unpopular.Will It be Scott VS Crist as Democrat
Maine-Lepage Is having trouble.The voters In 2012 returned Democrats to power In State House
MIchigan-Snyder Is defently vulenabale.Democrats are unlikely to stay home as In 2010
Ohio-We could be seeing a rematch between Kasich and Stricklin
PA-Dems need to get Corbett out of office.
WI-Walker could be Indicted before the 2014 election.
