Latest Senate Polling

    Washington State

    Senator Patty Murray (D) has a slight lead (51%) over Dino Rossi,the Republican challenger who has 46%.

In 10 previous surveys conducted since January, the candidates have been within two points of each other seven times. Murray's support has ranged from 45% to 50%, while Rossi has picked up 46% to 49%.      RasmussenReports

    Over in the state of Delaware, Chris Coons (D) has a pretty good edge (53%) over his Republican challenger (Christine O’Donnell)(42%).

4% of those polled say that they are undecided at this point while 1% would like to have someone else to vote for.

Harry Reid is having a pretty tough time of it out in Nevada as those polled have Reid and his Republican challenger (Sharron Angle) tied at 48% each. 2% would like another candidate and 3% are undecided.

   Hate to say it (not really) but this might be a career ender for Senator Reid. I’d like to see him retired,only not by a Republican.

   Oh well, can’t have everything.

Investigators Say That Egg Farm Knew Of Salmonella…

…which is not a surprise, is it? With the lax government over-site of our food industry in the past few decades, would you worry about a little food poisoning if it were going to maybe cost you a lot of money to fix the problem? Wouldn’t you also try to avoid what could be massive fines and lawsuits ?

Congressional investigators say the Iowa egg farm at the center of a massive salmonella outbreak received hundreds of positive results for salmonella in the two years before its eggs sickened more than 1,500 people.

In a letter Tuesday to the company's owner, the House Energy and Commerce Committee says that investigators have obtained records showing that Wright County Egg received 426 positive results for salmonella between 2008 and 2010.

    Next week, the owner of the company is due to testify before the same committee.
