Thanks for the warning, Stacy. I am one of those many Americans who economic problems because of a layoff of a FT job for over a year. I did, however, send some money to a “Get Out The Vote” group because it’s that important.

Hot air headline:Saudi arabia judge wonders what about paralysis for punishment?

according to the first troll commie comment on the subject this does not represent sharia but it represents christianity and another troll told someone who opposed abortion to get a lawyer because he is being charged with a hate crime. MSNBC are such Nutjob islam apologists

my keyboard is messed up

But, remember: activists don’t have to contribute to the NRCC or NRSC. They can just fund the candidates directly.

Sorry. Over at RedState we’ve discovered that the above is often shorthand for ‘I don’t intend to do anything except bitch about the GOP.’

amen moe

435 ten dollar donations is a couple or three mortgage payments. Ace had a post yesterday? about the NRCC’s strategy of concentrating on the thirty most vulnerable districts rather than the group of thirty second most vulnerable, in other words let/hope that the wave takes care of the thirty first through thirty nine seats the Republicans need to take the house.
The assertion that the national polls only give an overall sense and should not be taken as indicators of an epic victory is quite correct. Unfortunately we few can’t be responsible for 435 campaigns.
PA-12 was a special election allowing people from all over the country to get involved if they so chose. The Republican candidate got out flanked on the right, how did that happen? Did he spend too much time running against Obama and not enough against his opponent?
Ny-23 special election too, I think despite Dede’s betrayal we simply ran out of time.
I’m no expert at political campaigning but it seems to me that the larger the office the easier it is to “nationalize”. So attempting to nationalize a Senate race is more effective than trying to nationalize a house race I suspect attempting to nationalize a race for Registrar of Deeds would be unproductive.
The current Bolshevik regime is destroying this country and particularly our economy. If enough of our countrymen are not alarmed enough to produce that wave, if we have so little wind at our backs then this country is toast and it is time for plan B. If we merely take the house by a couple of seats then we will have already have lost the Republic.

cash on hand is not polls or votes either …

if I am not happy with my rep I really won’t care how much money he/she spends on ads …

people aren’t unhappy becasue they are ignorant or misinformed (2 things money can fix) …

I would encourage y’all to volunteer to walk, donate, or phonebank for your respective districts. I know I am…only walking though for Bill Flores. And Bill is getting a lot of volunteers and donations only by putting a lot of money into it (he use to run a multi-million dollar company).

This general post is on target Stacy, but the CA example is a bit misleading. The Dems did an idiotic gerrymander in 2000 to save their incumbents with the net result that almost all of their incumbents cruised with 70%+ of the vote last election while approx. six CA Republican reps are in districts Obama carried.

The truth is that CA is already drawn in such a way that GOP representation is maximized. It would really take a miracle to knock off more than a couple of the Dem representatives in this state.

That situation isn’t representative of the rest of the country.

IF the thrust of the article is that the Rebubs have a bad ground game – good point. Prior to BHO making to the Presidency, Howard Dean with much fanfare and opposition within his own party embarked on a 50 state strategy. He knew he was going to lose many races, but he tipped the balance of power – and we’re living with the consequence.

The repubs are split – there’s a conservative wing and an elite wing – one side might he.llp limit government, the other wishes to change the name on the desk and otherwise continue as before.

The difference this time is the Tea Party. They are America’s 50 state strategy.

Please believe me, the Dems are going to get a political beating. At a meeting for Frank Wolf in NVA, the Repubs could barely get 50 people to show up. Within a 1 -2 week time, the Tea Party got 180-200 people to show in NVA, on a Monday afternoon to question Frank Wolf. He’s not Rino, but neither is he a conservative and he will not challenge out of control Judicial authority or significantly reclaim control of government through the power of the purse.

He is next cycle’s problem now.

Murry working to defeat Jim Moran is the gerry-mandered hill to climb in VA. And it is gerry-mandered. Our job is to win the Governor races to control the next round of re-districtng. We will.

Keep working it. See Coldwarrior at RedState

We need to apply two rules:

First, the Basketball Blowout Rule:

When you have your opponent down ten, that is a perfect time to increase your effort and get them down 20.

When you have them down 20, that’s a perfect time to increase your effort and get them down 30.

When the clock reads 0:00, that’s the time to stop playing and look at the scoreboard (or the poll, as the case may be . . .)

We need to talk to our neighbors–have them talk to their neighbors, and so on and so on, throughout the country.

Let people know why things are so screwed up right now, and what they can do to begin climbing out of the hole. You don’t need a political party to do this. All you need is to care enough about where this country is going to talk to your neighbors about it.

Our message to our neighbors should be, IMHO, a simple one, The First Rule Of Holes: When you find yourself in a hole–stop digging.

You can’t start climbing out of a hole while making it deeper at the same time. And we find ourselves in a very, very deep hole indeed.

And, of course, when trying to climb out of a hole, make sure the damn thing doesn’t collapse and bury you alive . . .

If it’s possible to do it, the Republicans will ruin it. I actually believe the McCain ’08 campaign was run by infiltrators from the Dem-Commies. There is no other rational explanation for not taking what was known even then about the Dem. nominee and running with it. (Maybe, just maybe, after all, there’s not much they could have done in the face of massive voter fraud: hey, it worked for Kennedy in ’60!)
There is some strange urge that runs into the minds of some nominal Republicans that will cause them to endorse someone like Amnesty McCain, or keep voting for the likes of the Kagan Five. I think their GOP memebership can be explained by the fact that the Dem-Commies no longer resemble Hubert H. Humphrey, but instead model themselves after Che Guevara and Ho Chi Minh.
What does it take to send the Commies back under their rocks?

Obama approval in swing states. He is hurting, but far from out.
