KillswitchPolitick -- Nescience ends here: Blanche Lincoln

Super Tuesday! Races to watch…..
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Blanche Lincoln might well be private citizens by the end of the night

WASHINGTON, DC—The administration is definitely watching some key races across the country, the most notable of which is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s republican opponent come November; Nevada republican primary candidates Sue Lowden, Danny Tarkanian, Sharron Angle all beat Reid in the polls—regardless of which GOP member wins the primary, Reid is almost certainly a goner.

Arkansas is another big race with Blanche Lincoln facing and democrat primary run-off against Lt. Gov. Bill Halter and from all polling indications, she won’t be running in the general election. And in California, Barbara Boxer will face either Carly Fiorina, a former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, Tom Campbell, a former congressman, or Chuck DeVore in the fall. Polls show Boxer is on shaky ground and republicans have a chance of picking-up her seat.

In Iowa, the democrat governor, Chet Culver, whose approval rating has been dropping will likely face republican Terry Branstad, who was governor of the state from 1982 until 1998.

Currently, the democrat majority in Washington holds an abysmal 71.8 percent disapproval rating in the Real Clear Politics average. And 60.8 percent of American’s think the administration and its same-party majority is leading the country in the wrong direction.

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.
