Today is a huge day for all of us who follow American politics. But this year's midterm Super Tuesday is going to be something of a preview of what to expect in anticipation of November. There are two particular Senate race that should be thrillers to watch. Let's look at them:
KENTUCKY-This race may just have started the anti-incumbent revolution with tea party champion Dr. Rand Paul (R) of Bowling Green poised to pull off an upset of Secretary of State Trey Grayson.
Grayson, who has been endorsed by such names as former Vice President Dick Cheney, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, has been trailing for the better part of the campaign to Paul, son of Texas congressman and 2008 GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, who has been endorsed by former VP candidate Sarah Palin, Focus on the Family founder Dr. James Dobson, businessman Steve Forbes, conservative champion Sen. Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), and the man whose seat Paul and Grayson are seeking, retiring Sen. Jim Buuning. Paul has also been endorsed by a number of pro-life and pro-second amendment organizations in Kentucky.
PENNSYLVANIA- Incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter, a Democrat-turned RINO-turned Spectercrat, is running a very tight race with Rep. Joe Sestak for the Democrat nomination. According to some polls, Sestak holds onto a tiny one-point lead over Specter. Whoever wins the nomination gets the chance to run against (or be the sacrificial lamb) to Club for Growth president and former Rep. Pat Toomey, who is poised to win the Republican nomination handily, in November. If he doesn't get the nomination, it should be interesting to see if Specter switches back to the Republican Party.
