2006 Election Update

The recent primary elections have pretty much shaped the landscape for the general election in the fall. Republican senator Lincoln Chafee beat back a strong conservative challenger in Rhode Island to win renomination, making it tougher for Democrats to win a seat that Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse would have won easily had Chafee lost. Meanwhile, Benjamin Cardin won the Democratic primary to run for the seat of retiring Democratic senator Paul Sarbanes in Maryland, denying Republicans their best opportunity for a pickup; had Cardin lost, Kweisi Mfume, the controversial former NAACP leader, would have faced fellow black candidate Michael Steele, the Republican. What's the difference between the two? Steele is an Uncle Tom Negro who sees nothing wrong with going by a white name, of course! So, in a general election, you would have had to give him the advantage.

Harry Reid, the charismatically deficient Senate Democratic leader, believes there are at least eight Senate seats in play from which the Democrats can easily get the necessary six seats to take control of the Senate. They could, too, idf they would start coming out more forcefully against Republican efforts to relate the war against Islamic terrorists to Iraq, which are as forceful as they are lacking in credibility. The Republicans could win majorities in both houses of Congress simply by taking a stronger stand on the objectively wrong side of the issue. Fortunately, that's less likely to happen as the American people continue to refuse to believe them anymore. So Dems - what are you waiting for? Attack already!

Oh, that's right, the Democrats are pussy-whipped by political correctness . . . :-O
