Editor's note: Occasionally we will ask influential politicos to send us their top three bullet points that are driving the day's conversation in and outside Washington.
The Dewey Square Group Principal Maria T. Cardona:
- A Republican takeover of Congress in November? Really? They have admitted they would go back to the same economic policies in place before 2006. Tax cuts for the rich, tax breaks for corporations who ship jobs overseas, getting rid of safety net programs. That really worked well last time around.
- AZ primary day! John McCain will most likely survive the challenge from JD Hayworth but to what end? Do we even know who John McCain is anymore and can the people of AZ trust his motivations? With his credibility shattered, how will he reinvent himself this time?
- Speaking of AZ, there could be an upset in the making with a very strong Dem candidate for Senate, and only Latino Dem running, in Randy Parraz – with the support of Latinos, many in the Native American community, the GLBT community, and Arizona activists, we could see a Parraz vs McCain main event in November!
RedState.Com Editor Erick-Woods Erickson:
- Back in 2008, Mark Penn advised the Hillary Clinton campaign to question Barack Obama's "American-ness". She didn't. Republicans are. But more troubling for Obama, upper-income voters don’t need the GOP to even push the subject forward.
- The Pew Poll everyone is talking about showing across the board questioning of Barack Obama's faith buried the lead. The GOP has put together a majority demographic coalition to take back the House in November.
- News Flash: there is growing rumbling among conservatives that maybe the GOP shouldn't take back the Senate. And now Eric Cantor's pledge to bring back earmarks in the House GOP caucus is opening some old wounds. The GOP can only run on "we're better than the other guys" for so long.

RedState.Com Editor Erick-Woods Erickson:
- McCain v. Hayworth finally gets its day at the ballot box tomorrow. Has John McCain permanently hurt his legacy? Conservatives are now apt to view him as a joke and liberals are disappointed by his pivots to the right.
- Are we headed toward a tax revolution? Philadelphia wants to charge bloggers $300.00 for a business license. In Georgia, the state has given so many carve outs to special interests; there is a structural deficit in the state. The federal government tax code is driving business overseas. The tax system is going to be the next big issue.
- The left, led by Mr. Obama, is going after libertarians Charles and David Koch, who have been funding right of center causes since the 1970's and whose company, Koch Industries, employs more than 80,000 people. Things seem so bad for the left they have to manufacture a new enemy. Blaming Bush just isn't working so well anymore.
