Mean season for Obama Democrats — the Reid clock ticks

Dick Morris calls out Harry Reid and other Obama Democrats in his analysis of the elections Tuesday.

In part he says:

"The message of the May 18th primaries is that it is open season on incumbents.  In Pennsylvania, Senator Arlen Specter (D-Pa) lost decisively to Congressman Joe Sestak (D-Pa)in his primary contest while Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark) limped into the runoff in the Democratic primary by 44-42 over Lt. Gov. Bill Halter.  There can be little doubt that Lincoln will lose the runoff having scored so far under 50% of the vote.  The fact is that 56% of the Democrats in Arkansas decided to vote against Lincoln.

"Both Specter and Lincoln are now reaping the harvest of their votes for health care, a fate soon to be shared by Senators Harry Reid (D-NV), Barbara Boxer (D-Cal.), Michael Bennet (D Col.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Russ Feingold (D-Wisc.), and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).  And the liability of incumbency was also vividly on display a week ago when long time Democratic incumbent Congressman Alan Mollohan (D-W Va.) was upended in his primary contest."
