Two Senate Democrats In Trouble

The first, Harry Reid, is no surprise. This lame moron is well past his expiration date:
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid must pick up far more support from crossover Republicans and independents to win re-election, according to a new poll that shows him losing to the GOP front-runner in a full-ballot election with eight contenders and a “none of these candidates” option.
The survey of Nevada voters commissioned by the Review-Journal shows Reid getting 37 percent of the vote compared with 47 percent for Republican Sue Lowden, who would win if the election were today, while the slate of third-party and nonpartisan candidates would get slim to no backing.

Reid needs to go and unless something drastic happens, he will be unemployed when the next Congress convenes.
The one that might surprise people is Barbara Boxer of California. There are more Democrats in the state and it leans way left thanks to the heavily populated big liberal cities and the folks from Hollywood. Still Boxer is in trouble:
Hints of re-election trouble for U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer come from a 65-year-old travel agent from this leafy Los Angeles suburb who’s a fellow Democrat.
To Helen Sargent, taxes and the national debt are too high, President Barack Obama has proved a disappointment and the Democratic Party needs new faces.
Boxer, who’s seeking a fourth term this fall, “has been there too long,” Sargent said. “All politicians have a shelf life.”

In a clear sign of her difficulties, President Barack Obama heads to Los Angeles on Monday to help raise money for Boxer, who is running about even with several potential Republican challengers, an alarming sign in the Democratic-leaning state. My Way News
Given that the three politicians Obama campaigned for lost, two in heavily Democrat areas, I am not sure this is good for Boxer.
And that is just the way I like it.
She might end up winning but right now things look good.
It would be good to see her join Reid at the unemployment office.
Never surrender, never submit.

As the punchline to an old joke goes, “Never hatchet your Counts before they chicken.” Both Nevada and California are all but completely controlled by the Democrats — including their Boards of Elections and Departments of State, which hold the responsibility for (cue Josef Vissarionovich Stalin) counting the votes and certifying the outcome of an election.
All the same, there is some cause for hope, as no one is more closely identified with Obama than Harry Reid, and Barbara Boxer is further to the left than just about anyone else on Capitol Hill. If the margins are wide enough, perhaps these two statist thugs will be looking for work come January.
This is the type of leader that we need in this country and instead we have a Congress and President who can’t even identify the enemy for fear of offending someone.
People will vote their self interest- the key is identifying what the overriding self interest button really is, and that changes from “free stuff” the govt. “gives” away, to keeping this country safe and constitutionally sound-
The difference in one from the other is education- which is why we will never stop, never submit to ignorance from the left, or the misinformation they routinely spew.
