McConnell Has Eye on Hawaii Senate Race

By /
Roll Call has this report on U.S. Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Senate races he’s tracking.

Excerpt:

The Senator said he sees three different levels of competitiveness in 2012 races where his party could add seats.The races that represent the best chance for GOP pickups are the open seat in North Dakota, Sen. Jon Tester’s (D) very competitive race in Montana, the open seat in Nebraska, Sen. Claire McCaskill’s (D) uphill re-election bid in Missouri and the marquee matchup between former Govs. Tim Kaine (D) and George Allen (R) in Virginia.

McConnell’s “tier two” races include Sen. Sherrod Brown’s re-election effort in Ohio and the open seats in Wisconsin, New Mexico and Hawaii.
