2008 Senate Race Filing Deadlines

I figured it would be useful, with the start of 2008 right around the corner, to know when the filing deadlines occur for the states with Senate races in 2008. So, thanks in large part to the work of the good folks over at Swing State Project, here you go:

Filing Deadline	State	Questions/Comments
11/05/07	Illinois
01/02/08	Texas
01/11/08	Mississippi	With Trent Lott's impending resignation, but the special election date up in the air, candidates for not just Thad Cochran's seat but also Lott's seat may have to file for Election Day '08 by January 11. We'll know for sure by then which Democrats will run (or at least will formally keep such options open, as they can ostensibly withdraw from the race at any time).
01/26/08	West Virginia
01/29/08	Kentucky	Will state Attorney General Greg Stumbo or businessmen Charlie Owen or Greg Fischer make it official? More intriguingly, will Larry Forgy or any other Republicans challenge Mitch McConnell to a primary?
02/12/08	New Mexico
02/29/08	North Carolina
03/03/08	Nebraska	Will the Draft Scott Kleeb effort achieve their desired goal?
03/10/08	Arkansas
03/11/08	Oregon	Will Gordon Smith see a primary challenge from Bill Sizemore?
03/14/08	Iowa	Will Tom Latham or Steve King sacrifice their House seats to martyr themselves before the House-member-crushing juggernaut that is Senator Tom Harkin?
03/15/08	Maine
03/20/08	Montana
03/21/08	Idaho	Is it possible that Larry Craig might want to keep his options open and file just in case?
03/25/08	South Dakota
03/31/08	South Carolina	Who will be the biggest-name South Carolina Republican to join the Senate primary against Lindsey Graham?
04/03/08	Tennessee
04/04/08	Alabama
04/07/08	New Jersey
04/11/08	Virginia *
05/02/08	Georgia
05/13/08	Michigan
05/29/08	Colorado
05/30/08	Wyoming	Will any Senate-appointment seekers challenge Senate-appointee John Barrasso to a primary? Will any Wyoming Democrats show up to challenge Barrasso, much less Mike Enzi?
06/02/08	Alaska	Popular Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich has plenty of time to make up his mind on a race, while Ted Stevens remains buried under the weight of his scandals and investigations.
06/03/08	Massachusetts
06/04/08	Oklahoma
06/10/08	Kansas
06/13/08	New Hampshire
06/25/08	Rhode Island
07/11/08	Louisiana
07/15/08	Minnesota**
07/25/08	Delaware	Senator Joe Biden should have long since bailed from his Presidential campaign before this date so that he can focus on Senate re-election.

* The Virginia Republican Party has chosen to nominate its Senate candidate via convention rather than via primary election.
** Minnesota Democrats will hold a statewide convention on June 6-8, 2008. Traditionally, the party endorses candidates at the convention. These endorsees become all-but-official nominees, usually rendering the primary a mere formality.
