Crist loses his lead; primaries seen as a foreteller of November
Polls aren’t favorable for rhinos, spendthrift republicans, or liberals

WASHINGTON, DC—Appearing of FOX News, Charles Krauthammer said about Tuesday's primary elections, "I think what is more likely is that it's basically anti-big government, anti-Obama, anti-the left wing agenda. It's not so much anti-incumbent. That's an element of it. But I think the major element of this campaign is the pressure from the right."

What do Blanche Lincoln, Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, and Harry Reid all have in common? Certainly not party affiliation, but each did endorse Barack Obama’s agenda. The infamous hug Crist and Obama shared over the stimulus package was the catalyst for the Florida Governor’s primary woes against Marco Rubio who again leads the three way senate race over Crist and democrat candidate Kendrick Meek 39, 31, to 18 percent respectively.

What’s more is a prediction by the Director of University of Virginia’s Center for Politics Larry Sabato who sees the GOP gaining seven senate seats and twenty-seven house seats in November given the fiscal irresponsibility of the democrat majority in Washington.

Of course, there have already been three major republican victories in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts and each was predicated on opposing and defeating the Obama agenda. With the jobless rate remaining close to 10 percent and continued terrorist attack attempts, that pattern is not likely to change.
