Second or Third-ary
Commence the over-broad conclusions of the poorly attended primaries before the slightly less badly attended midterm elections.

Far be it from me to avoid being the latest blogger to comment on last night’s primaries. In my defense, I don’t have a lot of mistresses or out-of-wedlock children available to help me make abstinence videos (Bristol Palin’s likely to soon to be released by Vivid Video).
Democrats held the late John Murtha’s seat in Pennsylvania through his long-time aide Mark Critz, for what that’s worth. But it will give Politico one less pre-fab column to publish (oh hell, they’ll publish it anyway). Blanche Lincoln is going to have to have a run off against the more progressive Bill Halter in Arkansas, where she’ll run as the consummate outsider. Good luck with that.
And Arlen Specter lost to Joe Sestak foiling Specter’s plan when he switched parties. It also makes Ed Rendell the Dick Morris of people who are not actually Dick Morris. Arlen can now return to his former claim to fame and attempt to tie Anita Hill to the McKinley Assassination. But at least Arlen was classy in defeat. Ed Rendell remained Ed Rendell (as Dick Morris in La Cage aux Fool).
“Classy” is a concept that has clearly eluded tea party “lap-throb” Rand Paul who managed to not even take the congratulatory phone call of the slightly less insane (and Mitch McConnell endorsed) Republican he defeated in the Kentucky GOP primary.
