Who won the Senate races in Indiana and Nevada? And on the subject, why was there a race in Arkansas?
Richard Lugar was defeated by Lee Hamilton and Robert List was defeated by Jim Santini. In Arkansas, Orval Faubus died of a blood clot related to cancer just a few months after being reelected in 1986, triggering a special election in which appointee Dale Bumpers won easily.Who won the Senate races in Indiana and Nevada?

For the most part it was just Brooks getting lazy as an incumbent, but there is a sort of regional polarization. Indians in the South are more GOP-leaning while in the north are swing voters. Overall, Whites are slightly Dem-leaning, Latinos are Dem, Blacks are GOP, and Asians are roughly split down the middle.Im assuming this was just brooks who decided to not make a play for the indian community or are the democrats as a whole deciding to throw away the indian vote?
Uhh. John Kerry 4 years later? Some radical guy and a potential Supreme Court justice?So the 101st Congress is going to include Narendra Modi, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and conservadem John Kerry. Any thoughts?

I kind of was thinking about the prospect of the progessives. seems to me that they kind of had a stake driven through the heart of their caucus with the war coming up
Very true, although their are other considerations such as will people like social liberalism when this thing is over. if the war is devestaing enough, I could see a renewal of faith.For now. But given how traditionally after wars are over, people tend to turn towards pacifism in response, I think the Progs will see a post-war surge.
Modi 92!I swear to God Congressman you're going to find a way to make Modi president. I'm calling it.
It would require a constitutional amendment I believe, since Modi is foreign born. In the same kind, I would have liked Schwarzenegger president.Now I kind of want to see Modi get elected to the presidency for the pure fun of it.
