Democrats Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas face strong tests from the left. Also, a Senate race in Kentucky between a Republican establishment favorite and a conservative "Tea Party" activist will test the strength of that loosely organized movement.

I'm betting that Lincoln will be conceding defeat within an hour after the polls close. Specter may hang on thanks only to the Rendell machine. The more recources the RATs have to spend trying to rescue this turd, the better.

We shouldn't get so giddy about this fall's prospects that we fail to see the danger of the Democrats reversing their fortunes. After all, the primaries in both Pennsylvania and Arkansas will likely result in a more blatantly socialist candidate. Some 53% of American voters thought Obama was a good idea even though he clearly campaigned as an extreme leftist (fundamental transformation — what did anyone expect??).

Primary contests are going to be a IQ test for democrats let’s see what happens.

West Virginia Democrats were smart in turning out Mollahan. Let's see what they do in these other states.

Agree let’s hope they keep it up new friends are nice.

We are all in this together at this point.

[Vaduz]

Agree We the People are our only chance to beat the crooks.

WRT Lincoln...I don’t know about that, V-man. But I pray you are right.

Lincoln's Dem challenger Bill Halter is certainly that.

[GailA]

She’d been running a ad touting that her vote was the deciding vote on Nazi Care.
