State Senate Picture Coming Into Focus (updated)

Some are rumors, others are confirmed and we suspect many are still to announce.

Talk Business & Politics is establishing the first comprehensive list of potential State Senate match-ups for 2012. Our list of incumbents, announced candidates and potential candidates can be viewed here.

We acknowledge that the list is incomplete as many prospective candidates are weighing options for the next cycle.  This list is the result of information that was received after our initial call for candidates 2 weeks ago.

We still want to hear from you. If you are a candidate or a potential candidate, please contact [email protected] with your District number and party affiliation.  We will update this list as new information filters in, so bookmark this link for future reference.

TB&P will be issuing our potential House match-ups in the next few days based on data we’ve collected so far.

Political blogger Michael Cook offers his take on how he hopes Democrats will organize for the 2012 elections. You can read his comments here.  Political blogger Jason Tolbert shares his thoughts on the Republican strategy for the 2012 elections at this link.
