RED State Democrat Senator Watch: North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan Trails Badly to Republican Governor John Hoeven in Potential Match Up

BEWARE DEMS IN RED STATES … We the People are Watching

Could the Pelosi, Reid, Obama liberal agenda cost Democrat Byron Dorgan his Senate seat? Be careful Democrats of the company you keep and the liberal agenda you support. Do Democrats really want to go into the 2010 elections shackled with supporting Obamacare, out of control government spending, record deficits and double digit unemployment? Do so at your own risk.

President Barack Obama meets Wednesday, March 25, 2009, at the U.S. Capitol with representatives from North Dakota and Minnesota, , from left, Rep. Collin Peterson, and behind him Sen. Amy Klobuchar, both of Minnesota, and Sen. Ken Conrad, Sen. Byron Dorgan and Rep. Earl Pomeroy, all of North Dakota.   The White House / Pete Souza

Harry Reid – Byron Dorgan, water seeks its own level

Incumbent North Dakota Democrat Senator Byron Dorgan trails in a potential 2010 Senate match up with Republican Governor John Hoeven. In a recent ZOGBY poll, Republican Governor John Hoeven leads Democratic Senator Byron Dorgan 55% to 36% with 9% undecided in a potential 2010 Senate match up.

If you do not represent the will of the people who elected you, why should they ever support and elect you again? North Dakota has been a “red” state voting for McCain, 53%–45%, over Obama in 2008 and for GWB, 51%-48%, in the 2004 Presidential election. There is a reason why most every poll shows that Americans are against the Obamacare and the government take over of healthcare, especially in North Dakota. Vote against the will of “We the People” Senate Democrats and you will be given a pink slip.

Twenty-eight percent of likely North Dakotan voters support the healthcare bill proposed by President Obama compared with 62% who oppose the proposed legislation, including 48% who strongly oppose the bill.  A plurality of respondents believe that both North Dakota Senators Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad support the proposed bill.

It is a word of warning to those Democrat Senators and US Representatives for that matter who reside in “Blue” states. Listen and follow what your constituencies say or you will be thrown out of office on your ear. North Dakota voters are strongly in opposition to the Obamacare legislation being rammed through both the House and today’s Senate cloture vote along partisan Democrat lines.

These House and Senate Democrats have shown they are anything but “blue dog” Democrats. In the end, they support and ensure that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi remain in power a long with their liberal, socialist agenda. Vote them out!

RUDY … RUDY … RUDY!!!

Election 2010 Pennsylvania Senate: Republican Pat Toomay Leads Dem Arlan Specter, Poll ‘near fatal’ for Specter

Specter in real trouble in PA … Could the Senate seat go back to being Republican again? Could this election be another commentary on Barack Obama and the far swing to the LEFT?

Republican challenger Pat Toomay still leads incumbent Republican turned Democratic Senator Arlen Specter by 45%–40%. The more the discussion goes on regarding Obamacare and is pushed down the throats of Americans, the worse Specter’s numbers will get.

Forty-six percent (46%) of Pennsylvania voters have a favorable opinion of Specter while 52% offer an unfavorable assessment of the longtime GOP senator who became a Democrat in April rather than face Toomey in a party primary. Those numbers are a few points better than they were in August.

Just 17% have a Very Favorable opinion of Specter while 37% hold a Very Unfavorable view. The comparable numbers for Toomey are 14% Very Favorable and nine percent (9%) Very Unfavorable. Sestak earns Very Favorable reviews from 10% and Very Unfavorable assessments from 11%.

A Susquehanna Poll in February found 38% of Pennsylvania’s believed Specter deserved to be re-elected. It has got worse. Only 31% now believe that Democratic Senator Arlen Specter should be re-elected, while 59% believe that it’s time for new blood.

More poll numbers at Real Clear Politics show that Specter sounds beats Sestak in the Democratic primary.

Senate & House, Vote for Obamacare at Your Own Risk … 54% Favor Middle Class Tax Cuts Over Spending on Health Care

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it is socialized government controlled health care on its way to single payer health care system and a tax hike to pay for it.

The Democrats and Senator Baucus can spin the healthcare legislation anyway they want it, the American People do not want any part of it. “We the People” do not want new spending on a total overhaul of the healthcare system that will do more damage than good. “We the People” will not tolerate health care disguised as “a tax hike dressed in a lab coat”.

A new Rasmussen poll shows that 54% of American voters favor a middle class tax cuts over new spending on health care. What is interesting is this poll is identical to how the American people felt back in August, prior to Congress going on break. Nothing has changed. We the People reject the socialized healthcare spin.

But a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters continue to favor middle class tax cuts over spending more money for health care reform.

Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters say new spending for health care reform is more important. But 54% rate middle class tax cuts as the priority over more health care spending. Thirteen percent (13%) aren’t sure.

Don’t look now, but another Democratic incumbent Senator is in trouble for the 2010 midterm elections. This time it is Arkansas Senator Blanche Lambert Lincoln. She trails all of her Republican challengers in a recent Rasmussen poll.

Another Democratic senator may be at-risk in 2010. Arkansas’ Blanche Lambert Lincoln trails all four of her leading Republican challengers in the first Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey in the state.

Lincoln fails to get 50% of the vote in any of the match-ups, and any incumbent who falls short of that level is considered vulnerable. In three of the match-ups, however, she is virtually tied with the challengers at this time.

As stated at Real Clear Politics, want to know why Blanche Lincoln voted against the so-called “public option” yesterday of Obamacare? You need to look no further than the trouble she is in fore reelection. This will be the case with numerous Democrats where they can deny it all they want, American’s do not want any part of Obamacare or a socialized government run healthcare system.

How does America feel about the job Congress is doing? Not good at all. Only 16% of Americans, according to a recent Rasmussen poll, think that Congress is doing a good job while 53% think they are doing a poor one. Believe it or not, 16% is actually up two from last month/

Who exactly are the 4% who think that Congress is doing an excellent job, their grandparents?

That Didn’t Take Long … Minnesota Senator Al Franken has 41% Approval Rating

Wow, that didn’t take long for Minnesota to figure out they made a colossal mistake in electing SNL funny man, Al Franken. Only 41% of Minnesota voters think Franken is doing a good or excellent job. Looks like the jokes on you Minnesota. After three months in office, nearly one-third of voters say Franken is performing poorly. This is going to be a long six years

Democrat Al Franken has been a U.S. senator for less than three months, but 41% of Minnesota voters think he is doing a good or excellent job.

The latest Rasmussen Reports finds that 31% of voters in the state say Franken, who narrowly defeated Republican incumbent Norm Coleman in a lengthy statewide recount, is performing his new job poorly.

Maybe the next time there is an election, all individuals will take as much thought into the voting booth as they do for voting for American Idol.

The 2010 New Hampshire US Senate race for retiring Judd Gregg has Republican Kelly Ayotte leading Democrat Paul Hodes by eight points, 46% – 38%. It’s early in the race; however, once again a Republican has a lead in a political race in a state won by Barack Obama. Retaining this “Granite” state seat is key to Republican momentum.

Republican Kelly Ayotte leads Democrat Paul Hodes by eight points in an early look at New Hampshire’s 2010 race for the U.S. Senate.

The first Rasmussen Reports survey of the race to fill the seat being vacated by retiring GOP Senator Judd Gregg shows Ayotte ahead 46% to 38%.
