PRIMARIES TO WATCH TONITE:
Pennsylvania Democratic Senate Primary Race-
Five-term Sen. Arlen Specter's race against Rep. Joe Sestak
VS.
Background:
Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter, who has occupied one of two Senate seats from Pennsylvania for nearly 30 years, is in a tight neck-and-neck race with Rep. Joe Sestak, who has exploited the anti-Washington mood and campaigned around Specter's decision to switch from the Republican to the Democratic party last year.

Arkansas Democratic Senate Primary Race-
Sen. Blanche Lincoln against Lt. Gov. Bill Halter
VS.
Background:
Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, aiming to upend Sen. Blanche Lincoln in Tuesday's Democratic primary, said he is aiming for a "clean victory" but would be happy to make it into a runoff.
"If you wind up in a runoff with an incumbent Democratic senator who's been in the Congress for 16 years," Halter told reporters here Monday, "it'd be hard to characterize that as anything other than a victory for us."

Kentucky Republican Senate Primary Race-
Sec. of State Trey Grayson against Rand Paul
VS.
Background:
Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson unleashed a withering attack on the surging Senate candidacy of Rand Paul, calling him a grand-standing leader who will struggle in the general election because his views are out of the mainstream with Kentucky voters.
Grayson, on the eve of Kentucky’s closely watched Republican Senate primary, also said Paul has used his campaign to build up his own image with positive coverage on Fox News while ignoring the specific needs of Kentucky.
