It looks very excellent for 2-3 of these for the GOP and I beleiVe that blanche lincoln will lose. Also GOP Looking for Big Win in Capture of Murtha Seat in Pennyslvania and that looks like a shoe in win for the gop. It looks so good for the gop to take back control of both the house and senate and if tat happens say goodby to that scum bag. And if we take back the hiuse its still a huge win because the scum bag wont get anything passed.
The Sestak-Specter race is by no means the only big contest that will be decided Tuesday. Among the others:
The Sestak-Specter race is by no means the only big contest that will be decided Tuesday. Among the others:
- GOP Rep. Tim Burns squares off against Democrat Mark Critz, who once served as a top aide to the late Rep. Jack Murtha, in a special election to fill the House vacancy that occurred when Murtha passed away in February. If Democrats win, they will tout the victory as a sign that they can overcome bad economic news and anti-incumbent animus in November. If Burns wins, however, it would be another indication Democrats face a very difficult midterm election. The latest Public Policy Polling survey shows Burns with a razor-thin 48 percent to 47 percent lead over Critz. Pundits say the outcome could depend on the much-touted "enthusiasm gap," which indicates Republicans are currently more motivated to vote than Democrats. A Critz win, interestingly, will not be seen as much of a victory for President Obama. Critz has been very critical of President Obama's policies during the campaign.
- In Arkansas, big labor has been spending huge amounts of money to oppose Sen. Blanche Lincoln's bid for re-election. Although Lincoln is a Democrat, the unions blame her for helping to scuttle their coveted card-check legislation. Lincoln is expected to win the most votes in the primary, but is thought likely to fall short of the 50-percent-or-better margin of victory that she would need to avoid a runoff.
- In Kentucky, tea party darling Rand Paul is given a good chance of defeating Trey Grayson, the preferred candidate of most members of the GOP establishment. Polls show Paul has a double-digit lead.
- In Oregon, GOP candidates James Huffman and Chris Dudley, who are running for senator and governor respectively, are both expected to win nomination. Their prospects for November are uncertain however given Oregon's strong Democratic leanings.
