Senate Race 2010: V

Posted on May 18, 2010 | Leave a comment

Tonight looks like a good night to update some of the races.

Let’s look at the first group; Retiring Democrats

State	Inc Party	R-Candidate	D-Candidate	Leader	Spread
CT	D	McMahon	Blumenthol	D	22
DE	D	Castle	Open	R	20
IL	D	Kirk	Giannoulias	R	5
ND	D	Hoevan	Open	R	24
IN	D	Coats	Ellsworth	R	12

I have moved the Indiana race to retiring Democrats; Mr. Bayh retired. Not much has changed since last time I posted except that McMahon has slipped and Castle has surged.

Based on this and restarting the count we have the Republicans gaining 4 seats.

Score: Democrats 55 Republicans 45

Not bad.

Lottery: To Play it is to Lose it

Posted on May 12, 2010 | 4 comments

I relentlessly chastise friends and family for playing the lottery. It’s designed for its players to lose. Even the way the game is design to create an environment for its players to lose.

Obama nominated his second Justice to the court. I’m pretty sure that even he can’t screw this one up. The Democrats still control 59 seats in the Senate so this is as close to a slam dunk as possible.

Health Care Benefit

Posted on May 11, 2010 | 4 comments

One of the “gets” for Obama and the Democrats during the Health Care debate and vote is the ability for parents to keep their children on their insurance plans until those turn 27. A 26-year-old adult child can be carried on his parent’s insurance plan.

United States House: North Carolina

Posted on May 5, 2010 | Leave a comment

North Carolina had her primaries yesterday. While there were many races, I was really only concerned with one: District 4. This race featured BJ Lawson and Frank Roche. Both candidates are strong and I would be happy with either one. However, I was pulling for Mr. Lawson to pull it out. And he did:

District 4 Primary

We now have until November to get him packing for Washington.

However, there are several other races that have my interest too:

2nd District: Seat held by Bob Etheridge

4th District: Seat held by David Price

13th District: Seat held by Brad Miller

There are other seats held by Democrats, but many of those representatives have a more conservative vein in ’em and really, I would rather focus on the largest of the Leftists.

Let’s see what we can do to get these guys out of office!

This is the first installment.
