Susan Collins

The most moderate Republicans in the Senate - or as the Democrats, the only one left - Collins will be Reed's first goal, he needs the GOP vote.

Obama's first term, the Maine Republican broke her party more often than any of her remaining colleagues, her state - country - a resounding re-elected president, she had enough reason to continue.

Also worth noting: Collins in 2014 and re-election, the Democratic Party of any vote or position looking eagerly at her free country, they can use it to draw her touch.

Lisa Murkowski

Alaska Republican Party has been less loyal to the leadership of the party, because she lost her in the 2010 Republican primary, but write in candidate to win re-election.

Murkowski and Republican, and later broke up a series of definitions votes, such as the Dream Act, repealing "do not ask, do not tell" and Paul Ryan budget. This year, she uttered her party needs to stop alienating women voters to support the Democratic Party made a public screening of the Violence Against Women Act in the House of Representatives and the Senate Republican leader.

Dean Heller

Heller, who was appointed to succeed Senator John Ensign (R-NV) last year, his seat in a close game. Given his slim margin of victory, and, in fact, his voters to vote a significant margin to send Obama back to the White House, Heller will have an incentive not to can be seen as an ongoing thorn in the presidential around to build a reputation for his work in the chamber.

Heller has generated interest in breaking with his party - an important example of the Ryan budget vote last summer - his hometown colleagues Reed eyeing more opportunities to win his vote.

Mark Kirk

Even if the image he projected as a relative moderate, Kirk tickets have been difficult to predict, because he also won the trust of the conservative movement. Illinois Republican Party ticket Ryan budget, repealing "do not ask, do not tell" reflect the dynamic.

But as a Republican solid liberal state, and the first person elected to fill Obama's old seat, Kirk motivation is not considered as a partisan theorists. He has trained a relatively moderate voting record as a congressman, and occasionally willing to break with his party senator, so he became a win votes Reed.

Kirk, he has recovered from a stroke, is expected to return to the Senate in January.

Lindsey Graham

Graham is a difficult goal, because he is in a bright red South Carolina State in the 2014 re-election. But Senator, in recent years, immigration and climate change and other major issues in cooperation with the Democratic Party and Obama's re-election, asked his party to soften its opposition to win back Hispanic immigration reform. He also got to raise taxes to reduce the debt voice his support.

Graham is a reliable early primary challenger’s next cycle chase; his desire for cooperation may prove to be short-lived. However, if he is to make a living fighting within the party for his seat, South Carolina may re-ignite his bipartisan game winning streak, and became a central figure in promoting and shaping Obama's second term initiatives.
