Around The Globe

KY SEN - Sweet Jesus did Rand Paul bring a Texas size can of whup-ass to the primary against Trey Grayson. I thought Paul would win but 58-35 is an absolute deconstruction. On the Dem side, Conway beating Mongiardo is a slight surprise. I had thought the momentum was with Mongi but Conway eeked it out 44-43. Paul has the Big Mo for November for now.

PA SEN - Finally, that warbling sack of condescending crap has been sent off to retirement. It's about time Arlen, you're 80 for crying out loud. Guess you can treat both parties like crap and expect to get elected, eh? Too bad for Pat Toomey though, Toomey easily beat Specter but now Sestak might prove a real tough fight.

PA-12 - Specter did screw over Republicans on his way out though. Dems were so eager to toss Arlen out that they showed up in bigger than expected numbers, certainly bigger than for Republicans who had no real primary to energize them. As a result, it looks like jack Murtha's seat will stay blue until November at least. The Dems had to spend a lot of money to keep it though and the race was far closer than in 08 so that is good for the Repubs.

AR SEN - With 50% of the vote in, Lincoln is holding on 43-42 and looks destined for a runoff against Halter. You have to make Halter the favorite at this point.

CT SEN - Blumenthal lying about serving in Vietnam is bad enough, now he is blaming the media for reporting it. I know CT is a blue state but doesn't Yankee pride kick in at some point and say enough with this nonsense? Here's hoping Rob Simmons is around to take advantage of it instead of Linda McMahon.

NHL WCF - The Sharks are down 3-0 in the second period and are in danger of losing two in a row at home to the Blackhawks. I guess Thornton, Marleau, etc. decided thrashing the Red Wings was good enough to make people forget that they're a bunch of choking dogs. Not true fellas.

NYY-BOS - If Joba Chamberlain blows another win for C.C. Sabathia, C.C. might just eat him.

ORL-BOS - And the Magic have apparently decided to blow both games at home as well, down 3 with 34 to go. If it wasn't for Specter losing this night would be a total bummer. Thank god I wasn't gambling.
