Any other year these races would be approaching meaninglessness. No so 2010.
In Pennsylvania, we find turncoat RINO (that's a self-fulfilling descriptor) Arlen Specter trying to extend his already too long Senate career. This bumbling fool of a man is so slavishly beholden to the aura of Senate power that he's become pathetic: not only did he switch parties; now he can't even remember and speak correctly that he is now a Democrat. Even easily fooled Democrats look at this pitiable creature and only want to shy away from him as one would a skunk. BHO hasn't come around, although that's prolly helped Specter some!
His primary opponent, an equally offensive Democrat, Joe Sestak.
Actually, from my viewpoint, I'd like to see Specter win this primary challenge, so we can slap him around a bit more. Give him more rope; you know what he'll do. The winner faces Pat Toomey (R), who is gleefully watching this slugfest and sharpening his knives. My call: Specter.
Also in PA, and more importantly, the good people in PA-12 need to select a successor to John Murtha. Hate it that he died before all the verdicts came in on the Haditha Marines (and before the Marine's slander lawsuits against Murtha played out). Murtha's career should have ended because of his proven incorrect attacks on fellow Marines. RIP John Murtha, decorated Marine; but "your seat" needs to go to a better politician. And a better person.
In Arkansas, we have Moderate Democrat Senator Blanche Lincoln fighting for her not-so-illustrious career against primary challenger AK Lt. Governor Bill Halter, who has support of the far-left Liberals, Union thugs and others who want someone to help drive their radical agendas. Let's hope Halter does win this, as he's a clear-cut crazy who should provide a nice bullseye for a decent Conservative to challenge.
Lastly, in Kentucky, we see a Republican primary race for Jim Bunning's Senatorial office that he's vacating (a shame, I like Bunning). Rand Paul, so-called Tea Party candidate, vs. Trey Grayson, establishment Republican.
Sorry, but I do not like Ron Paul; I don't know much about his son Rand, but let's hope Rand has a mind of his own. To have a mind at all is a step up from dad, and let's hope that if Rand wins this, he separates himself adequately from dear old daddy. We don't want another Ron Paul, anywhere in politics, especially Republican politics. Another drawback to Rand Paul AFAIC: anytime we see someone run for an office on the coattails of their fathers - brothers - sisters - &c., it's troubling to me. I just don't care for family trees rooted too deeply in our political system, and that's something I'll apply to the Kennedys, Bushes, McGoverns, any of these big-name 'me too because I have the NAMESAKE and obviously the RIGHTS!' mentality. Let 'em eat cake or something.
OK, I'll call for Rand, but not for Paul. If that makes sense.
