Welcome to your pre-Memorial Day Friday open thread. Do you have any plans for the long holiday weekend? So far I don’t have any. I’m looking for suggestions, if anyone has them.
A new poll in Nevada shows that Reid could win re-election to the Senate:
A new Mason-Dixon poll in Nevada shows Sue Lowden (R) barely edging Sharron Angle (R) for the Republican Senate nomination to challenge Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), 30% to 29%, followed by Danny Tarkanian (R) at 23%.
In general election match ups, Lowden leads Reid, 42% to 39%, and Tarkanian leads Reid, 42% to 41%. However, Reid leads Angle, 42% to 39%.
It looks like the Republican primary there is going to be a real nail-biter. Who do you think Reid wants to go against – the state’s worst legislator (2 yrs. in a row!) Sharron Angle or gafftastic Chicken Lady Sue Lowden?
This will go absolutely nowhere:
House Republican leaders introduced a bill Thursday to repeal and replace the sweeping healthcare law adopted in late March.
According to Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), the measure would repeal the current law and replace it with the alternative the minority party offered to the original healthcare legislation last November.
…
In all, 20 GOP lawmakers co-sponsored the repeal-and-replace bill, including House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio), Whip Eric Cantor (Va.), GOP conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.) and Blunt.
I haven’t found a link yet to the text of the bill. Other co-sponsors named in the article are Wally Herger (R-CA) and Charles Boustany (R-LA).
