WASHINGTON – In Kentucky, the Republican Senate candidate stumbles over a question on racial segregation. In Connecticut, the party's hopes rest on an executive who banked millions on female wrestlers in skimpy outfits. In Nevada, one contender wants to phase out Social Security and another suggests trading chickens for medical care.
Welcome to the 2010 battle for the Senate.
It's midway through President Barack Obama's term, and high unemployment, an outbreak of anti-incumbent fever and political history are pointing to strong Republican gains in the fall. Yet to a degree unimaginable a few months ago, the party's fate is tied to conservatives with tea party support, scant or no political experience, and views or backgrounds that are largely unknown to statewide electorates.

OMG! You mean these candidates aren’t career politicians?
I heard a comment from some woman on a radio talk show that stated something like “Obama is either dribbling or putting around!”
Wow the GOP sound like a bunch of crazy losers. It's the Associated Press so it must be correct. Wow. Let's all give up and go home then.
Not Yet! Give ‘em time! ;-)
It took the New Deal 75 years to rip us a new one..
If it means cutting the number of lawyers in Congre$$, I’m all for it.. tho that too, may take some time. You see how hard it is to flush Rinos of late. Like the WoT, it may take decades.
Giddyup!
If the Republicans don’t run conservatives, they are no improvement.
I have no interest in socialism, either by slow boat or fast jet.
Ok, someone post the Tsunami pic and McCain’s quote, “Theres something going on out there...”
Really?! Has anyone told the GOP?
Typical AP hit piece.
The Ass Press picks up the drumbeat of associating Tea Party with the GOP. My advice to Tea Party is to get out there quickly and squash this by unequivocally disavowing any association with the GOP.
