Take That, Sissy Boy

I must admit, I really do enjoy primary season more than the general elections. The general elections are fine and the opportunity to defeat liberals is always an enjoyable occasion. They are kind of boring though. Especially when you get two world class political douchebags who only work hard at saying nothing.

Primaries are a whole different story. They are the time when people with actual opinion on politics get to try and destroy that useless army of moderates that prowl around Washington. When all the candidates have the same letter after name, the mud can really fly. Usually it's between establishment candidates and some kind of grass roots candidate. Some interesting ones wrap up tomorrow.

KY SEN - Trey Grayson has finally realized that he has almost no shot at being the second coming of Mitch McConnell, as most polls show him down double digits to Rand Paul. Predictably, Grayson is lashing out, calling Paul, and the Tea Party, a bunch of fringe lunatics that can't win in November. This one will be satisfying but provides no tension. Paul romps and Grayson can go back to whining about nobody giving him a fair shake on his ideas. Whatever they are.

PA SEN - This one should be awesome. Arlen Spector is about to reap the nasty crop he sows. Polls show Sestak with all the momentum going into the primary. Even Obama has abandoned Spector. It should go down to the wire and it's never good to count Arlen out. That mud throated toad has an endless number of lives. Both candidates trail pat Toomey.

AR SEN - Now we find out how much being a turncoat weasel matters to the state of Arkansas. Blanche Lincoln has finally sold out so many times that even the Clinton magic hasn't prevented a slew of challengers coming forward to knock her out. Yet she still has a fighting chance due to some mystical force that resides somewhere in Little Rock.

If the trends hold we could see all three establishment types get rolled out of politics and into retirement. Combine that with the fact that Connecticut's democratic candidate for Senate has been caught lying about his Vietnam service, Tuesday should result in a bunch of career politicians moving into full on freak out mode. That's a sweet thing indeed.
