Another Democrat senator will bite the dust
We all recall how Blanche Lincoln was bought for her support of Obamacare. There was some consternation that it might have political repercussions; despite the Clintons, who are thieves of a global reach and grasp and who could be based anywhere, Arkansas is in general a conservative state.
And Blanche Lincoln was right to be worried. The Republican John Boozman has 65% support; the incumbent Lincoln 27%. This is seismic.
Unfortunately Patty Murray, the affectless liberal drone/hack from Washington leads the Republican by 4%, but that's nearly within the margin of error. Senator Boxer is holding a slight lead too. Harry Reid is even with his Republican opponent and I personally think that she may have a screw loose. Not as many as Harry, but still, a fair number.
Although I never underestimate the Republicans' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, there is some reason to hope that November will be a bloodbath for liberals.

Real Clear Politics has Dems holding a 48-44 lead in the Senate with 8 states being labeled as toss-ups. They are Cal, Col, Fla, Ill, Nev, Ohio, Wash., and Wis.
To gain control of the senate, Republicans would have to win 7 of 8. Probably a tough task but it is likely that Republicans will gain 5-7 seats when all is said and done. Not bad.
Should Republicans win the house and put the right person up against Obama, all three (house, senate, White House) could be in their possession after 2012.
Oh, let us pray for remdemption. Throw these bums out and next time throw the new ones out. How lovely it would be to keep them all in constant fear of the voters.
It would be nice but unrealistic. For all the talk, most house members are pretty safe in their districts. The percentage of senators having to sweat it out is also pretty low (less than 10 percent in "toss up" races).
Theo, you're absolutely right to never underestimate the Republicans' ability to throw opportunity away with both hands. When the tea party movement got started, I was so depressed I almost couldn't stand it. Yes, the rabble need to chop the heads off the liberals, but that far ahead of the election, I figured their memory couldn't possibly last long enough to still have any steam by the time November finally rolled around. However, it does begin to appear that there's reason for some hope, if not exactly optimism. Being somewhat naturally pessimistic, I can still see maybe a small glimmer that some of the people who've finally become so exercised by the crimes of the Regime will still be awake by election time.
