Wamp Talks of Secession
Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) suggested Tennessee and other states “may have to consider seceding from the union if the federal government does not change its ways regarding mandates,” The Hotline reports.
Said Wamp: “I hope that the American people will go to the ballot box in 2010 and 2012 so that states are not forced to consider separation from this government.”
He went on to praise Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) who suggested the same remedy last year.
Blunt Holds Lead in Missouri
A new St. Louis Post-Dispatch/Mason-Dixon poll in Missouri finds Roy Blunt (R) leading Robin Carnahan (R) in the race for U.S. Senate, 48% to 42%.
Carnahan leads in the more populated St. Louis and Kansas City areas, which tend to vote Democratic. But Blunt leads every other region of the state by a healthy margin.
Said pollster Brad Coker: “Outside of the metro areas, he’s killing her.”
Vitter Says He’s Way Ahead
Soon after Rep. Charlie Melancon (D) released an internal poll showing he was deadlocked with Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) in their U.S. Senate race, Republicans released their own poll showing Vitter with a 17 point lead, 48% to 31%.
