 The top 10 Senate races of 2018

Democrats have the momentum, but Republicans are still favored to hold the chamber because of a favorable map.

By KEVIN ROBILLARD

Republicans entered 2017 dreaming of dramatically expanding their Senate majority. But after a bruising year capped off by Democrat Doug Jones' upset victory in Alabama, the GOP is staring at a 2018 with diminished ambitions.

Still, the GOP will be on offense in 2018. Despite a favorable political environment driven by President Donald Trump's poor public standing, Democrats still only have two real pick-up opportunities next November, in Nevada and Arizona. Texas? Too expensive to attack with so much ground to defend. Tennessee? The party landed its dream recruit in former Gov. Phil Bredesen, but Trump won the state by 26 points in 2016.

Really hoping that Rick Scott decides to run against Bill Nelson for Senate.

Best opportunities for Republican flips are in North Dakoda, Montana, and West by God Virginia but I would not be at all surprised to see the one in Missouri flip and maybe even the one in Florida IF the right candidates can be found to run in those places.

Only likely flip for the Dims is in Arizona sad to say.  The place has been over-run with Californians.

Arizona should have built a wall.  All the dem run states are losing population and Arizona is just too convenient for Californians.  I don't blame them leaving but some of them take their idiocy with them.

All I can say about AZ is "Yup."  We could very well lose both Senate seats in the next two years.
