Yeah, but I’m sure this guy voted for Obamacare.
Pryor voted for Obamacare. That is reason enough to remove him from office.
As of today, it looks like obama is slipping down a bit from his recent high polling numbers (according to Rasmussen at least).
He’s also tied with Romney today nationally (accordign to Rasmussen, again) and a few points ahead of Santorum (nationally).
Day to day battle here...today, it looks like obama “might” be beatable in the right circumstances. Just yesterday he looked stronger; tomorrow? who knows?
It is going to be a long year....
Pryor needs to go the way of Blanche Lincoln at the very next opportunity.
Pryor remembers what happened to Blanch Lincoln in 2010.
Pryor is just trying to save his own sorry hide. Just goes to show you that when the going gets tough, democraps will start eating their own. Won’t work, Mark. Give it up.
After November, the weak link in the chain will be vote #60 in the Senate.
The House - no problem. We only need a bare majority.
The Senate - on budget votes, where we only need a bare majority, that shouldn’t be a problem either. If we take the White House, we’re sure to pick up control of the Senate, and probably wind up with something like 55 seats.
On legislation, as will be necessary to reform the tax code and the entitlement programs, we will need 60 votes in the Senate. This means getting a few Democrats. Pryor of Arkansas is signaling he can be one. I am thinking Manchin of West Virginia. But, after that, I don’t know. Maybe Angus King of Maine, a centrist independent, if he is elected. I am thinking 58 is a make or break number for moving real reform through the U.S. Senate during 2013-2014. 58 is kind of at the edge of what I think is possible.
Our best pick-up opportunities appear to be: NE, ND, MT, MO, VA, WI, FL, OH and NM, with HI and CT surprise pick-up opportunities, and MI, MN and PA pick-up disappointments. The only seat, at this point, that we’re likely to lose is ME.
Wonder how many votes this “conservative” dem shared with Bernie Sanders?
