Dem Challengers Would Vote Against AlitoThis is
somewhat interesting, in that it would be natural for challengers of Republicans in Red States to be a little cautious, but of course, they've still got to get the nomination:
Todd Gaziano, director for the Center for Legal and Judiciary Studies at the Heritage Foundation, said the lack of Democratic support for Alito is a function of candidates’ securing campaign contributions from liberal donors as “Howard Dean candidates.”This puts them at a disadvantage, because most states which have a Republican incumbent up for reelection this year are Red:
Tennessee (Open)
Indiana
Mississippi
Utah
Texas
Ohio
Virginia
Maine
Missouri
Pennsylvania
Montana
Rhode Island
Arizona
Nevada
Wyoming
