Will the people who screwed up things with Joe Lieberman screw things up with Lincoln too?

But if things in the capital were not going as the activists wanted, they held out hope for change should Senator Blanche Lincoln, a Democrat they deem too conservative, lose in a runoff on Tuesday night for her party’s nomination. Liberal groups had mobilized behind her rival, Bill Halter, in what they called “a shot across the bow” to other centrists who obstruct or weaken the Democratic agenda. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/08/us/politics/08memo.html?ref=us

Will the Myth meet the Reality?

“This is the greatest reform president since Lyndon Johnson, and every progressive in the movement is dismayed and disaffected,” said Robert L. Borosage, the co-director of the liberal Campaign for America’s Future. “Some of that is expectations that were shattered” — by Mr. Obama’s lack of support for a public health insurance option and liberalized rules for union organizing, and his escalation in Afghanistan.

What planet do people like Mr. Borosage live on? He is basing an opinion on Obama being a reformist on campaign slogans vs 1-2 years of governing?

Let us see what tomorrow brings, but more importantly, what the coming months bring when maybe people wake up to reality vs myth..

What is the USMB conventional wisdom on how the vote today will play out tomorrow and going into the general election?

In the general elections, after tripping all over themselves to appeal to the most energized force in GOP politics - the Tea Party - all these candidates will have to walk a delicate electoral tightrope that won't alienate the radical right while also appealing to moderates and Independents.

We believe they'll fall off.

The winning GOP candidates are in a lose-lose position because if they try to turn away from their primary positions and run back the center,..

Why Today's GOP Winners Are Already Losers

Will the American public pay attention to reality or soundbites?

The evidence of the wreckage of the Bush years can be found everywhere. Under this conservative president, federal spending rose from 18.5 percent of GDP in 2001 to 21 percent in 2008, while a $125.3 billion surplus became a $364.4 billion deficit.

Median family income, which had grown from $42,429 in 1980 to $46,049 in 1990, and which grew again during the Clinton Administration to $50,557 by 2000, shrank under George W. Bush, standing at $50,223 in 2007 before the start of the recession.

During the Bush presidency, three million jobs were created. That compares to 23.1 million during Bill Clinton's two terms, and 16 million during Ronald Reagan's. The rate of job creation under Bush was the lowest under any post-World War II president.

The Rove Legacy...remember Rove, the GOP Conservative Wizard?
