DoubleSpeak with Matthew and Peter Slutsky

Wonderful Wheeling

Day 48
11:14 AM CT.

The American interstates are a remarkable phenomena. They make getting nearly anywhere in the US easy, accessible, and frankly, monotonous. But when you’re just trying to get somewhere quick, there’s no reason not to just stay on I-70 E the whole to Pennsylvania.

Our days seem to be consumed with driving this stretch of road while poll watching and eating at its many fine eateries. Just in the past two nights we’ve enjoyed the fine dining at the Timberline Steakhouse in Independence, Missouri and last night the local Applebee’s in Greenfield, Indiana. Both good meals, but at this point, every thing I put in my body seems to taste the same. It’s exciting to know I’ll be eating good home cookin’ in not too long.

We just listened to today’s Meet The Press with Rahm Emanuel and Chuck Schumer “debating” Tom Reynolds and Liddy Dole. Not much new to learn except virtually every Senate race is tied and Tom Reynolds is an idiot.

Robert Byrd Coasting in WV

Senator Robert Byrd seems to be coasting to re-election in his U.S. Senate bid in West Virginia. A new poll shows Byrd, who is one of the more youthful and energetic members of the Dem Senate Caucus, with a 23 point lead over the GOP nominee businessman John Raese.

From Rasmussen:

May 11, 2006–The good news for businessman John Raese is that he won Tuesday’s primary in West Virginia and will be the GOP nominee in the state’s U.S. Senate campaign.

The bad news for Raese is that his next challenge will be much more difficult. He faces Senator Robert Byrd who has won election to the U.S. Senate eight times already. In fact, the 88-year old Byrd has served in the Senate longer than most Americans have been alive.
