It certainly looks like Rand Paul might have stepped in it again. After coming out in support of a FairTax on Tuesday, he now says he doesn't want to talk about that and reporters and folks should focus about what his website says about his policies.

Certainly sounds like "try selling that in an election" all over again, which was his remark to a friendly crowd after extolling the virtues of a $2000 medicare deductible - and now professing that he's being taken out of context.

Today is Scott McAdams Birthday, he turns the very scary (when your younger) 40 years old today. It's also 10-10-10 for those who like numbers (what were you doing at 10:10am this morning?).

Anyways, Scott is running a very smart, solid campaign but it seems that the Ak and national press is still treating him as an afterthought. What the Press isn't telling folks is that Lisa Murkowski can't win as a write-in candidate, but she can ensure that Joe Miller will win.

The minute long commercial is below the fold and it's a humdinger of an attack ad. Murkowski contends it's full of lies and is warning stations not to play it. Tea Party of course stands behind the ad.

With attacks like this, it gives real hope that Murkowski would endorse McAdams if she can't get enough footing in her write-in bid. Of course McAdams has to make sure this Repub on Repub battle doesn't suck all the air out of the room, leaving him on the sidelines. That is largely what happened to Meek in Fla and he's still trying to play catch-up.

This past Wednesday Angle and Tea Party Candidate Scott Ashjian, along with party officials had a face-to-face sit down where Sharron Angle tried her damnedest to try and get third party candidate to drop out and endorse her. I don't know who taped it or why it was taped and is now released by Jon Ralston at the Las Vegas Sun has a copy of the 38 minute meeting -

Angle: Says the grass roots movement "gives me juice. That’s really all I can offer to you (Ashjian) is whatever juice I have, you have as well...You want to see DeMint, I have juice with him....I go to Washington, DC and want to see Jim DeMint, he’s right there for me. I want to see Tom Coburn, he’s right there for me. I want to see Mitch McConnell, he’s there."

Remember that ad Sestak ran on Specter near the end of the primary - this one is move devastating.

Now I'm from the "Strategically vote for Crist" school, but I think Meek just secured second place with this ad.

The ad is below the fold...

Fox News, no doubt acting on the behalf of the Roy Blunt Campaign has sued Robin Carnahan and her campaign for an ad her campaign has up that uses footage from a Fox interview where Chris Wallace interviewed Roy Blunt in 2006.

In the ad, Wallace addresses Blunt and says, "You just said a moment ago that you have to show that you’re the party of reform but some question whether you are the man to do that. In 2002, you tried to insert language into the Homeland Security Act to help Phillip Morris tobacco [company] while you were dating that company’s lobbyist. And your campaign committee’s paid $485,000 to a firm linked to lobbyist Jack Abramoff."

The President has two years to get their agenda done. Then their party takes losses in the mid-terms and the opposition claims the country has rejected them. The president wins re-election and has another two year mandate.

There was a West Wing episode where Vinick and Santos are both pissed off because Bartlett is sending troops into Kazikstan inbetween the Chinese and Russians. Anyway the point is they're both upset because it will eat up a lot of their post win mandate with both focus and money.

Obama had a near economic collapse, and two wars.

Not a good day for Az. Governor Jan Brewer. She had a debate last night with all other Governor candidates and let's say it didn't go too well.

Found this at Swing State Project and figured it should be seen here as well - http://www.swingstateproject.com/...

We're down to the final days of the primary in Arizona, election being on Tuesday the 24th of August 2010. Early mail-in ballots have been out for a month roughly.

There is four candidates on the primary ballot - Randy Parraz, Rodney Glassman, John Dougherty and Cathy Eden. Arizona doesn't have a run-off system meaning the candidate with the most votes come Tuesday night will win the opportunity to face John McCain. Th race is close, with many still undecided sowe can still make the difference. Why do we need this to be Randy Parraz?

At the '08 RNC Convention in Minnesota, former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani mockingly asked the crowd "What does a community organizer actually do?" an obvious shot at Obama's days as a community organizer, and the crowd ate it up. Alaska governor and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin must have liked the line (and the crowd response) as when she took the stage as part of her address she claimed that her experience as the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska was "sort of like being a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities."

What does this have to do with anything now? Follow me after the jump.

Votes are already being cast, and there is only two weeks left in the Arizona Primary but the outcome is far from a sure thing. The conventional wisdom is Rodney Glassman will be the Democratic Nominee to take on John McCain. The conventional wisdom also then says John McCain will win the general and hold his seat, by a large margin. But conventional wisdom can be wrong, and in this case we can help it be wrong.

Randy Parraz is running against Glassman in the Arizona Primary, and unlike Mr. Glassman, Mr. Parraz is a fighter, a fighter with the experience and battle scars necessary to take the fight to John McCain.
