More News Like This Might Sink The Health Care Takeover

We already know there are some Democrats who are going to have a real tough time holding onto their Senate seats. Harry Reid is in trouble (I think a slug is out polling him), Christopher Dodd is in trouble, Specter could be in trouble in 2010 and Ben Nelson will be gone when 2012 rolls around. Some of these seats were considered in jeopardy but there are some seats that are considered safe. John Kerry is probably in a pretty safe seat. Let’s face it, the people in the safe seats are the ones who are willing to push the others over Obama’s precipice. It is easy to talk about taking one for the team unless you are taking it.

Byron Dorgan of North Dakota is one of the folks who is considered to be in a safe seat. He is leading his announced Republican opponent by 15 points so he should cruise to victory.

The only problem is that the Republican Governor of the state, John Hoeven, beats him by 22% in the latest poll by Rasmussen. The governor is not in the race as of yet but this kind of polling data might entice him to run.

This might have something to do with the fact that Dorgan supports and has voted for Obamacare when 30% of his state supports it while 64% does not.

A few more polls showing these “safe” seats in peril and there might be a few Democrats willing to jump ship.

Yes, polls like this lead me to believe next November will be very good indeed.
