According to this Associated Press report, we’re likely to see more contested GOP senatorial primaries in 2012 as Republicans smell blood in the water. One such race might be in Missouri, with Sarah Steelman facing off against former Sen. Jim Talent for the right to take on Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill. But this bit about Virginia caught my eye. Like Talent, former Sen. George Allen is considering a rematch against the Democrat who unseated him but Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart might not give Allen a pass:
“Sen. Allen was a great governor of Virginia, he really was,” Stewart, a Republican, said on a local TV interview. “But his record in the United States Senate was mediocre. And I don’t think most people in Virginia think of him as a great United States senator. They think of him as a great governor.”
Things could get interesting.

Let the fun begin!

Oooh, I so Agree :)
As a former Indiana resident, I can't wait to see who gets in the primary field against Lugar. I sure hope we don't see a repeat of a non-Tea Party vetted and supported challenger as we did here in AZ. That McCain won just rankles! JD Hayworth was a challenger with a skeleton, and this gave us 6 more years of "bipartisanship" The other tactic is cluttering up the field. This is how Dan Burton got back in with less than a majority of the primary vote. Lugar may be behind the funding of a couple candidates to do the same thing. In 2006, there was no primary challenger to Lugar, and the DNC did not even run a candidate. I think this is unconstitutional as it takes away a citizen's right to change our representation, but that is for another debate.

I think you will find we will have a dandy opponent to Lugar.
Have you considered| 12.30.10 @ 7:25AM
Susan, I sure hope so. And when you do, I will donate. I read about a state rep., a Mr. Delph I think, but I don't know anything about him. Is this the person to whom you refer?

Lets take a serious look at the quality of the candidates. Some in the last election were top rate, others frankly stunk a good example was Paladino in the NY Gov. race against Andrew Cuomo. All Cuomo had to do is let Paladino do all the talking. This guy Paladino was a very bad choice as a serious contender. This is what is needed: Good communications, no skeletons in the closet,assertive in brining the ECONOMY as the or a prime issue and being a good debater.

I am looking for a Tea Party candidate to run against Brown, and to run against the ladies of Maine. We must replace the RINOS in the Senate if we have any shot at taking back the country.

The Republicans could win four Senate seats in 2012 and McConnell will still be Reid's towel boy.
serfer62| 12.29.10 @ 4:06PM
As to "Mike" McConnell, he did a good job with what he had. And what he had was 6 rinos & a couple of poor losers. I am not satisfied with his committee chair choices though.
NEED TO GO; hatch, the guy who gave us ginsberg. luger. Forget the Maine twins & brown, the're locked in.

The Stupid Party has it backwards yet again. They are already counting thier gains in '12 when they haven't yet accomplished a damn thing in'11. Show us some results, morons, maybe you will persuade us not to go 3rd party on you!

Scott Brown talked like a conservative all the way up to the moment he was elected. Then, suddenly he was infected with the colsnogrespec virus for which the only cure is being turned out to pasture. I pray that will be his fate in the next election...
