Looks like another slow line up — probably due to the Olympics.

Tom Coburn (R-OK) is supposedly resigning his Senate seat, not because of bouts with cancer, but to help push the Article 5 state constitutional conventions. That idea seems to have some steam in several states. I retain my suspicious — that could be opening a whole can of worms of unintended consequences. I just don’t think such gatherings could be restricted to pre-set items, once the doors are closed.

Several incumbent Senators, both parties, seem to be in reelection trouble. McConnell and Graham on the R side seem have serious challenges this time. Landreau and Pryor on the D side seem to have been written off by the DNC.

Of course, the Republicans still have time to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory. They seem to be expert at that.

It seems the new now leader for the GOP is Jeb Bush. Some still think Christie can make a come-back. Huckabee is polling high among some. The same with Palin. Even Romney is showing some life.

One recent article has a list of potential Republicans who might be interested. That list shows 32 names. My assessment after looking at that list is that probably 28 couldn’t get 100 Electoral Votes if they did make it to the general election. There just isn’t a lot of ‘there’ there. The GOP just doesn’t have many pizzazz names. It has more zonks than zingers.

A new survey this week showed that a large number of people (44%) still blame the last Bush and the Republicans for the current economy. Only about 33% blame Obama and the Democrats.

Not sure about Landrieu. The Dems have just conducted another shell game - Max Baucus out of the Senate and now to be the new ambassador to China; Mary Landrieu now to head the Energy Committee, which was Baucus’ position.

Louisiana needs energy jobs, can we say: drilling in the Gulf.

Mary will make nice noises and promises and may get enough votes to stay in office.

I think you can cross off the fat basturd from NJ and hopefully jeb. I'd still like a governor myself.

If Hillary's health is worse than they're letting on -- look at the second tier for the Dems, too.

Cuomo might carry New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Hawaii and DC.

Biden -- well, the number of clinically insane voters might be more than I thought -- particularly after what happened in November 2012. But the second Republican tier (which is now the first tier, since Chris Christie imploded into a pile of traffic cones) is much more presentable than the Democrat second tier. They're probably at least presentable and as well known as Zero was in February 2006.

Well, the election of 2012 showed us that a majority of people are morons and the democrats cheaters.

150 % turnout my a$$! Should be DEEPLY and INDEPENDENTLY investigated anywhere and everywhere that happens..

Still, the numbers on Bush are going down and the numbers on Obama moving up. However, there are certain demographic groups that will NEVER blame Obama even if he raped and killed a child on TV.
