Again, utter nonsense. The very fact that it WAS a referendum speaks volumes about how critical this issue has become. Since when does a well-entrenched, incredibly convervative congressman in a conservative state even have to WORRY about his seat? Answer: when he suddenly "makes a run for the border."

The Senate is already feeling the heat. Do not be fooled.

Uh no when a political PAC decides to make a referendum out of a primary race and finds a wealthy person to run and the PAC puts $50,000 of it's own money into the race, gets massive local and national publicity about the race and then loses bigtime.

Plus the turnout was very low(i.e tancredo/bay buchanan decided to hold an immigration referendum and nobody came).
