Quick diary here... a new Mason-Dixon poll from 6/1 to 6/3 of 500 GOP primary voters, and 625 general election voters show Angle with a lead over both of her primary challengers and over Harry Reid.

She leads in the primary with 32%, followed by Tarkanian with 24% and Lowden with 23%. Looks like she's going to take this one. Good for us.

However she also leads Harry Reid 44% to 41%. Which is not too good, especially since the last M-D poll was a 3 point lead for Reid. Reid loses big to Tarkaninan though, 46 to 39, and leads Lowden by a margin of 42% to 41%. This race is going to be insanely close, but from where it was a couple of months ago, things are looking a lot better for our majority leader in this one.

Since my last post there have been a couple of polls that changed some of my predictions, not in a major way, but I just wanted to record what the most accurate picture currently is of some of the races. So here is my current take on Iowa.

So I have been doing some polling analysis using my method from the 2008 election for the 2010 Senatorial election cycle in a variety of states with competitive and non competitive races. I just wanted to put some of my ratings out there. There won't be deep analysis just yet, maybe a line or two where needed to explain myself if you think I'm crazy. I hope to do an analysis of each race at different times throughout the next few weeks but here's my snapshot as of today June 4, 2010.

Okay, so a couple of big primaries were today, most notably, the Democratic and Republican primaries in Kentucky, and the Democratic primaries in Pennsylvania and Arkansas. Adding to this insane amount of interesting political events was the special election in PA-12 which the Republicans were hoping to win to help boost their national meme that people are angry and the GOP will be their savior. They turned out to be wrong.

Today there was a vote on the floor of the Senate to basically cap interest rates on credit cards, the details of which can be found here. Well, in the end the amendment to the wide ranging credit card reform bill, was defeated by a sizable margin, 33-60. This is very disheartening, on several grounds. One, it shows clearly that banks seem to have a strangle hold on Congress, if not on our government at large. Why would all of these Senators, Democrats and Republicans both (although the Democrats voted 33-22 in favor to the Republicans 0-38), vote against against this amendment, when it would seemingly give the American people a direct benefit, and safeguard against the whims of the banking industry?

I just recently finished a class on American Thought Since 1850, and much of what I learned revolves around history and politics and how it is shaped and formed through the stories we as citizens tell about our own collective past. By understanding that history and truth is found in what we say about it, not some transcendental notion, which we will never be able to reach or truly understand, we can get a sense of what we need to do to solve problems and reach common solutions to progress society. I just wanted to throw this out there so its there, and whatever happens, happens.

Currently, the Grand Ole' Party of Reagan and Bush are in quite a leadership crisis and there seems to be no apparent direction in which the majority of the party wishes to go. There are those who would like to keep drifting farther and farther right both politically and socially. There are also those who would prefer to move more toward the "center" which, following the 2008 election is still to the right of where the country would prefer to be, but that's what political parties do right. Anyway, in between these two poles we find a varied number of positions and outlooks on the significant, and not so significant, issues of the day. This is all normal within a political party, and is to be expected, the problem with the Republican party comes in the infighting we see on a daily basis among different players within the party.

Today, I got an email from my uncle, a forwarded one of course, attempting to detail and compare Barack's executive experience to John McCain's. The two columns of comparison were years in Congress and years in the military.

It was along the lines of McCain: Congress-26 years, Military-22 years...Obama: Congress-143 days, Military-0.

Here was my response.

Tomorrow night, or on Wednesday, Barack Obama will successfully obtain the required number of delegates to become the nominee of the Democratic party for President of the United States. After this, we must begin, or continue, to unite the Democratic party around Barack Obama.

Of course, Senator Clinton has said many things that a great number of us in the Obama campaign, along with many around the country, have found to be disgraceful, or unsettling. However, we must evaluate her based on her past accomplishments and the base which she has been able to galvanize around her campaign.

By evaluating these two factors, only then can one distance him or herself far enough from the primary fight, and begin to focus on the prospects of the general election. By assessing these aspects of Hillary Clinton and her political and governmental skill, we may need to put our "politics" difference behind us, and focus on her governmental accomplishments and her ability to win over people who we need to win over.

Here's why...

Just a short diary to discuss this new poll out by Rasmussen. The poll gives Bruce Lunsford (D) a five point advantage over Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell.

The poll reports 49% for Lunsford to 44% for McConnell. The MOE is 4.5. The full article can be found here.

This would be a huge win if we could pull this one out. This is the first poll I've seen where Lunsford leads, but this is definitely a good sign.

Yesterday, Hillary Clinton made comments about the campaign and the Democratic nominating process. These comments can be found here.

In response to these comments, Keith Olbermann has issued a Special Comment, that I urge everyone to watch. The video can be found here.

More over the jump.

We all know that there are way too many anti-Obama videos and commentary out there. Unfortunately, my uncle is one of those people spreading and promoting such distasteful, incorrect videos and emails.

Two days ago, he sent me an email with a youtube video called "Meet the Obamas," which went on to make the false arguments we all here and contained and repeated the ridiculous associations people are trying to spread about Obama. I was fed up.

So, I responded with an email refuting all of the claims that were made, with adequate sources and videos helping to do so. I'm posting the response below the jump and I urge everyone to actively refute any of the Obama bashing emails or videos you get. If anyone would like to help me improve my response, I welcome the comments and recommendations.
