Blanche Lincoln ‘s hard-fought primary runoff victory Tuesday night and expressing optimism that Majority Leader Harry Reid may be making a comeback…Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.) offered that Republicans probably would have ‘run the table’ had the midterm elections occurred in late January when Sen. Scott P. Brown (R) won a Massachusetts special election to succeed the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D). But Carper predicted Wednesday that, come Nov. 2, the economy will have improved, the federal deficit will be smaller, and the new health care law will have grown more popular.”
