In a Politics Daily article: Democrats Look to Lose 6 to 7 Senate Seats, One Forecast Predicts, the political landscape could be changing for the better.
Democrats have over a 50 percent probability of losing in seven Senate races in this year’s midterm elections, cutting deeply into their current 59-member majority, according to the latest forecast by polling analyst and statistical guru Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com. (Two of the members counted in that current majority are independents Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Bernard Sanders of Vermont).
However, Silver forecasts only a 20 percent chance that Democrats will lose 10 or more seats, which would cost them control of the Senate.
It is clear that people are fed up, and if we stay on point, explain what the issues are, without telling people how to vote, then we are moving closer to our goal of making a clean sweep of progressive power hungry, money grubbing anti-American politicians. The need for fiscally conservative, voter minded, statesmen is at an all time high and it is apparent that the American voter is waking to that very real need. Only our efforts on the ground as we give support to constitutionally minded independent thinkers, will win the next election in November, and we are beginning to see them pay off.
Please don’t hold back now, as time is short and the enemy is desperate. We now only have 63 days until the critical November 2010 elections.

The following story comes from the Dallas Morning News. You can read it in its entirety here.
Longtime Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide’s two children since 2005, using foundation funds set aside for black lawmakers’ causes.
The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the money. And all of the awards violated a foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member’s district.
Johnson, a Democrat, denied any favoritism when asked about the scholarships last week. Two days later, she acknowledged in a statement released by her office that she had violated the rules but said she had done so “unknowingly” and would work with the foundation to “rectify the financial situation.”
Initially, she said, “I recognized the names when I saw them. And I knew that they had a need just like any other kid that would apply for one.” Had there been more “very worthy applicants in my district,” she added, “then I probably wouldn’t have given it” to the relatives.
NETTP note: Eddice Bernice Johnson is up for re-election against conservative Pastor Stephen Broden.

GOP must re-examine itself after. Tea Party candidates, primary surprises:
From FoxNews’, the Journal Editorial Report with Paul Gigot:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/4323647/lessons-from-primary-surprises/
For a Republican party of old ideas, their new reality hit home when a group of activists that the GOP in Texas were originally refusing a seat at the convention table won the chairmanship by a landslide. Steve Munisteri handily beat the entrenched insider candidate Cathie Adams and the time came to open up or shutdown. With most newcomers to the elephant party overtly Tea Partier or 9-12ers, the GOP has lots of explaining to do. But with more political races within the GOP’s own ranks being won by those coming out of this new breed of revolutionary party, we may see the demise of the Grand Old Party and the birth of a Grand Awakened Party.
It’s been contemplated to bring the Tea Party into a legitimate political party, but it sees we are doing quite well by working from within the party of Lincoln who abolished slavery. We must bring the Constitution forward by taking people back to the simplicity of the divinely inspired document that is more life directives than prose… living simply by paying as we go and spending only as we need while limiting the federal government to a part time body, who settles disputes between states and providing a professional military to protect our borders, as it was originally intended.
Our goals are simple, but the road will be hard. We need to live that way ourselves, then find like-minded individuals who have the wherewithal to stand firm against temptations, evil attacks from our rivals and the deceptions of the media. In doing so we can all fight city hall, now overtaken by tyrants and cheats.
