...Meg Whitman winning the Republican primary for governor and Carly Fiorina for senator in California today; Nikki Haley for GOP governor in South Carolina; Lt. Gov. Bill Halter for the Democratic senate seat currently held by Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas; and Sharron Angle getting the nod from Nevada Republicans to take on Senator Harry Reid in November.
My predictions? Meg Whitman, who has already spent about $70 million (much of it her own), will spend another $70 million or so in a losing effort to Democratic nominee Jerry Brown (yes, that Jerry Brown). Neophyte Carly Fiorina will get crushed in the fall by her opponent, incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer. Nikki Haley may be forced to win after a runoff (and pave the way for Sarah Palin in the 2012 South Carolina Republican primary). Arkansas? It doesn't really matter who wins because the Democratic nominee should get thumped in November. And in Nevada, Sharron Angle will take a merciless beating from Harry Reid in the general.
