FLORIDA: State Senator Ted Deutch (D) announced his intent to run in a special election for Representative Robert Wexler’s House seat, after the congressman announced yesterday he would resign the seat in January.

CONNECTICUT: Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), running for Sen. Arlen Specter’s seat, will get endorsed Monday by Ned Lamont, the former victor over Joe Lieberman in Connecticut’s Senate race, who later lost to the incumbent when he switched parties.

DELAWARE: Rep. Mike Castle (R) and Attorney General Beau Biden (D) are neck-and-neck in a potential Senate race matchup, 46% to 45%, a new DailyKos/Research 2000 poll finds.

NEVADA: Harry Reid will begin airing campaign commercials in Nevada today, coinciding with Vice President Biden’s visit to the state and appearance with Reid at a fundraiser today. Reid is trailing in polls to two relatively unknown Republican candidates, former state party chairman Sue Lowden and real estate developer Danny Tarkanian.

NYC MAYOR: City Comptroller Bill Thompson (D) yesterday said one way to reduce New York’s $5 billion deficit would be to hit up “a friend in Washington.” He suggested working with President as one way to reduce the budget, as well as rooting out waste in each city agency and re-instating the commuter tax, which Mayor Michael Bloomberg called “pie-in-the-sky” thinking.

And Robert "Rusty" Stevens, who used to play Larry Mondello on Leave it to Beaver, also has endorsed Rep. Sestak.

It really doesn't matter whose running on either side. The Dems will take a beating, courtesy of Reid, Pelosi, Dunn, Frank and Obie himself.

We know you can't please everybody but when you constantly take it out on decent citizens and particularly the elderly you're gonna lose.

Looks like the group that approached Rush to secure
an NFL bid dropped him like a hot potato when push came to shove, even though they said they'd stand with him when the "expected" trouble came. Cowards.

Interesting that Anita Dunn, another rad Obama pick, idolizes Chairman Mao Tse Tung, a communist leader who was responsible for the deaths of up to 70 million people.

With all these rads surrrounding Obie by his own choice, and the "mentor" ideology of Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, William Ayers, etc., how do we, that have the now uncommon gift of common sense, think positive thoughts of the radical president among us?
We are more apt to believe his intentions concerning the well-being of America is a crock, and therefore the uprising by the "angry mobs in the streets," as Pelosi would refer to them.

It's all calculated but it will not happen.
The real citizens of America will see to that.

Tombstone Shadow ... and the rest.
