Stuart Rothenberg says the distinction of most vulnerable incumbent senator “surely boils down to either Arkansas’ Mark Pryor or Louisiana’s Mary L. Landrieu.”
“It’s a close call on who is more vulnerable, but I’d probably pick Pryor,” especially if Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR) runs. The Harvard-educated Iraq veteran who worked for McKinsey would be an especially difficult opponent for Pryor, and the Democratic base in Arkansas appears to be evaporating quickly.”
