How anti are voters this year?

In today’s climate of angry voters, “being an incumbent or defined as the establishment is the political equivalent of wearing the scarlet letter,” said Chris Lehane, a California-based consultant who worked for Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign. (FoxNews)

It’s not the Tea Party, and it’s not just the right wing. If you’re the favorite, the incumbent, the “establishment,” it’s not turning into a feather in your cap.

Republican voters in Kentucky also are showing scant interest in their party leaders’ wishes. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell worked for months to push his GOP seatmate, Sen. Jim Bunning, out of a re-election bid, fearing Bunning would lose to a Democrat.

Florida Governor Crist? Losing in a primary so badly he drops out of the Republican Party (brilliantly covered here).

Yesterday, in West Virginia, 14-term Rep. Alan Mollohan lost the Democratic nomination for his seat. Sen. Arlen Spector is even with Rep. Joe Sestak for a May 18th primary. 17-year incumbent Sen. Bob Bennett lost his own nomination race in Utah.

Whether this translates into November energy is yet to be seen. It could snowball into an avalanche or melt into a good rain. But in primaries, it’s obvious. Nothing is controlling voters.

The FoxNews story says it’s a bipartisan thing – basically, if you work with the other Party even just a little bit, you’re toast.

Some elected officials say bipartisanship is the biggest victim of strong anti-establishment movements. One factor cited in the Utah Republicans’ rejection of Bennett, who had a lifetime rating of 84 percent from the American Conservative Union, was his bid to forge a health care compromise with Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

After a GOP win in Massachusetts, anything can happen this year. And one thing is clear: The inside track hasn’t been the path to victory.
