Tuesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President will be out selling his health insurance reform bill today. He's doing an event at a senior center in Wheaton, Maryland to talk about the benefits for older Americans in the new law. (That demographic has been skeptical.)

The big political news is that it's primary day in a slew of states -- eleven altogether. One of the big ones to watch is the Democratic Senate primary runoff in Arkansas where Bill Halter is challenging Blanche Lincoln. Lincoln could become the third incumbent Senator to lose in a primary.

Polls close in Arkansas at 7:30 PM Central/8:30 PM Eastern. In California, where GOPers are picking candidates for Senate and Governor, polls close at 8:00 PM/11:00 PM Eastern. In Nevada, the race to watch is the GOP Senate primary, which will determine Harry Reid's opponent in November. Polls in Nevada close at 7:00 PM Pacific/10:00 PM Eastern. Maine is picking its gubernatorial candidates today, too. The incumbent, John Baldacci, is term-limited. Polls close at 8:00 PM Eastern in Maine. We'll post results tonight as they come in.

Let's get started..
