Best Headline from Tuesday Night’s Primaries
White House official: ‘Organized labor just flushed $10 million down the toilet’
Big labor and the left set out to punish moderate US Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and lost. They also spent a huge sum of their valuable resources, allowing personal vendetta’s and personalities get in the way of winning this fall. A good lesson for our side!?!
Tuesday’s Biggest Winner
The Arkansas Democrat Blanche Lincoln defied the odds and lived to die another day? But the really good news is that her Republican challenger, Rep. John Boozman holds a commanding lead in the polls for this falls match-up. A great pick-up opportunity for the GOP.
MI Governor’s Race: AG Mike Cox endorsed by MI State Chamber & Right to Life
In what has to be some of the best news any Republican candidate can get in Michigan, Attorney General Mike Cox received dual endorsements this week from two of the biggest primary voter groups in our state, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce (which brings with it a $34,000 check) and Right to Life of Michigan. Regardless of who anyone supports, this is significant and deserves a congratulations!

Gallup: For Majority of Voters, National Issues Paramount in 2010 Vote
Today’s latest Gallup poll shows that the 2010 election is shaping up to be a referendum and not the ‘choice election’ that the Obama White House and the Democrat-led Congress hope it to be. By a margin of 55%-39%, voters say that a candidate’s stand on national issues “matters more to them” rather than “his or her ability to help people at the district level.”
Key excerpt:
The maxim that “all politics is local” — most famously advanced by the late House Speaker Tip O’Neill — may have once been an accurate characterization of the relationship that congressional candidates had with their constituents… However, since 1994 — perhaps because of the nationalization of that election with the Republicans’ Contract With America — Americans’ voting priorities have flipped.
In a year when voters rank the federal budget deficit as high as terrorism as a top concern, the implications are clear. Twenty years ago, candidates for Congress might have ingratiated themselves with voters by bulleting all of the federal spending projects they either had delivered to the district, or would support if elected. Today, such messages may be more likely to spark constituents’ concerns about the effect the spending involved could have on the national debt.
