Not-Quite-Super Tuesday Election Thread

So glad Arlen Specter is gone. I’ve said he always seems like someone who was beat up everyday at school, finally got some power, but was still afraid of a bully.

Democrats hold Murtha’s seat.

Best Democrat and GOP candidate (for us) in Kentucky win.

Bland Lincoln seems all but dead in Arkansas.

We didn’t do too poorly.

    Had to put this somewhere:

    What’s at stake in all this idiocy, yes brought to you by the august NYT? Let’s quote their sometime reporter here:

    Ed,

    What I’ve been thinking about and keeping my eye on-is that up until just 4 days ago the undecideds are still a huge number.

    Nov, imo will boil down to the last 2 weeks of October.

    Economy, jobs, international incidents, local issues/crime, energy bills for the winter, if the voter thinks they will be better off.

    Till then, it’s a crap shoot.

    One of the things I’ve been thinking about for a while (and REALLY wish I had written it before) is that I fully believe we will lose seats because we have a HUGE advantage, there is no real way to sustain that. However, I strongly doubt a major tide will come for Republicans, we have enough decent candidates to where we will be at no less than 57 in the Senate and probably around the same in the House.

    I wonder if the folks over at Team Roy are retooling??

    Seems like they need to move to a “was an insider, but long enough on outside to see the problems” message.

    Does anyone view Thurbert as an insider? Apart from the folks running the campaign that is?

    Should be interesting.

    I think we’re going to be ok in the House; however, the DSCC needs to get it’s act together.

    Man, the Republicans don’t show up for the primaries in Kentucky do they?

    Not sure how the economic anarchist/market fundamentalist candidate dude will do in Kentucky. Don’t buy into the extremist BS, it’s a meaningless label.
