Sen. Arlen Specter's primary loss continues bad 2010 for President Obama, Democrats

From the NY Daily News:
Tuesday's balloting is a fresh reminder of what all the combatants have understood for months: It's a lousy year to be a Democrat, an incumbent or President Obama.

At the very least, Democratic majorities in the Senate and House will shrink significantly this November.

For the first time, however, it's not just Republican dreamers chirping that the I-loathe-Washington riptide could cause one or both houses of Congress to flip in the fall.

"If the election were held today we'd lose both," a top Democratic strategist acknowledged. "Thank goodness it's not being held today - but we still might lose the House."
