Meanwhile, the left is pushing candidates further and further out of the mainstream. Republican candidates will be stronger; Democrat candidates will be more radical and ridiculous.<br /><br />"This lurch toward liberal priorities coincides with polls showing that the electorate— particularly independents—has shifted significantly to the right since Mr. Obama took office. While some Republican primaries are proving bloody, most are turning out candidates largely in tune with today's public frustration with Washington.<br /><br />The Democratic primaries, by contrast, are generating nominees who are embracing, or even going beyond, the president's unpopular agenda. This is the feud that may have the bigger consequences for this fall's midterms."<br /><br />http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704635204575242292247966322.htmlChristian Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842885802414436051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-65386194355674456282010-05-15T12:21:50.308-05:002010-05-15T12:21:50.308-05:00In Arkansas, the only question is whether there wi...In Arkansas, the only question is whether there will be a run-off. There is no way that Halter beats Lincoln. Revelations that Halter outsourced an entire software development department to India, rather than hiring local Arkansas workers, has destroyed his chances. Being linked to outsourcing is really toxic right now in politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-30543074505940499602010-05-14T21:56:13.992-05:002010-05-14T21:56:13.992-05:00Muhlenberg released the following crosstabs from t...Muhlenberg released the following crosstabs from today's poll in which Specter leads Sestak by two percentage points, 45-43%:<br /><br />Voter Ideology and the Senate Race<br /> <br />Very Liberal (10%)<br /><br /><b>Specter 48%</b><br />Sestak 43%<br /><br />Somewhat Liberal (30%)<br /><br /><b>Specter 48%</b><br />Sestak 42%<br /><br />Moderate (38%)<br /><br /><b>Specter 46%</b><br />Sestak 41%<br /><br />Somewhat Conservative (15%)<br /><br /><b>Sestak 47%</b><br />Specter 33%<br /><br />Very Conservative (5%)<br /><br />Sestak 46%<br />Specter 46%Argo Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892035605366649563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-14329516427245211462010-05-14T21:03:14.064-05:002010-05-14T21:03:14.064-05:00A Halter victory would have to be partially attrib...A Halter victory would have to be partially attributed to the special interests (unions, Moveon) spending ridiculous sums of money to get him elected.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928675187803337574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-433666113641361342010-05-14T16:52:56.505-05:002010-05-14T16:52:56.505-05:00Two victories, though, would at least demonstrate ...Two victories, though, would at least demonstrate the strength of the online far left, which has militantly opposed Lincoln, and to a lesser degree, Specter. <br /><br />The voters may be moderate, but the candidates -- Halter in particular -- are being pushed by the Kos kids and their ilk.wthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343481782148411302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-55434396310883044562010-05-14T14:28:50.786-05:002010-05-14T14:28:50.786-05:00So do you believe its rank and file Democrats that...So do you believe its rank and file Democrats that are disappointed that President Obama's agenda hasn't advanced as far as they wanted or in the matter they wanted and are taking it out on these two senators in the Primary?George Templetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02796500446725126606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-32665590946894844172010-05-14T14:27:29.805-05:002010-05-14T14:27:29.805-05:00It wouldn't be surprising that leftists mistak...It wouldn't be surprising that leftists mistakenly assume that the electorate is more left-wing than reality would support.Christian Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842885802414436051noreply@blogger.com
