OK, this is like a teaser on the 10 o’clock news.

Pray tell, without going to your blog, why will we lose?

Reid is winning in Nevada,
Boxer and Brown are winning in California,
Murray is winning in Washington,
Crist is winning in Florida,
Feingold is winning in Wisconsin,
Hickenlooper and Bennet are winning in Colorado,

Republicans need to get off of their collective butts and beat these Democrats by strong margins!!!!

OMG!!! What the heck is wrong with your blog page???

You got more junk and scripts loading than Obama has fleas.

And then the text of the article doesn't even show up. WTF is up with that???

Are you trying to compete with Alex Jones for the junkiest, most unusable web page in cyberspace???

I can think of two ways: run Sarah Palin
or if Ron Paul sticks his ancient a$$ into the ring.

(Don’t get me wrong, I adore Sarah but it’s a mistake for her to run yet. The ‘Rats did too good a job of painting her out to be a bubblehead. Next election maybe.

Does your web counter lack numbers?

It is hard to compete with a party that gives away the treasury; the greed of the voters is what is driving the Obama cult.

We can’t win in November. The republicans can, but that is hardly the american people. And whichever party is in control after the election, it is hardly gonna matter all that much. We may be able to rescind the health care joke, but that doesn’t much matter. It’s a drop in the bucket.

There is only ONE way to lose in NOV and that is to NOT VOTE.

I don’t live or die by polls. The ONLY poll that counts is in NOV.

I’m reassured!

Burns has never been right about anything.

Well, since no once can apparently be bothered to read the article (an all-too-common affliction hereabouts), I'll jump in and agree with it.

Hard-core conservatives are identical to hard-core liberals in one respect: they demand ideological perfection. That's fine in a philosophical debate, but is foolish in politics.

Yesterday, Limbaugh mentioned all the people who told him they wanted the Democrats to win in 2008 so we'd see what it was like. He asked, "well, how do you like it?"

Are we headed for the same scenario this year because we quibble over this one's abortion statements or that one's TARP vote? I'm against abortion and I still think TARP was wrong -- but letting Democrats win isn't any answer.

About infighting and egos, I agree. No place for those, we need a unified front against our Socialist opponents.

About the 'perfect getting in the way of the good' in the primary races, no. The primaries are the place where we really have to fight for our beliefs, for the direction of the entire process is determined by the candidates who emerge to be the standard bearers of the Right.

In the general, as almost always, we end up voting for the lesser evil, just once I want to vote for someone who holds close enough to 'perfect' views and will keep them when their hand drops after taking the oath.

But if the candidate that does win has a better shot at defeating the Socialist candidate come November, we can at least stop the bleeding. Later on, once we’re in a position of power, we can worry about improving the quality of the candidates.

McCain was the last time I will hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils. Never again. Let Kirk, Castle, McCain lose. It will be instructive for the RINOs to see what it means when you poke the conservatives in the eye.

Well, there is only one way we will lose in November.
That is democrat chicanery. If we do all we can
to promote and vote for conservatives we WILL
take back the house and bolster our position
in the Senate.

Just a note to those suffering from PDS,
Sarah isn’t running in November!

I hate to break up your pity party, but Feingold is not winning Wisconsin anymore:

Using the RCP average, I maintain my assertion:
RCP Average 6/9 - 7/27 — 42.3 40.5 Feingold +1.8

IMHO, Sarah will serve as Secretary of the Interior under the Republican president beginning in 2013, as long as the Senate is controlled by the GOP.

LOL. A Liberal incumbent in a very Liberal state is polling only 42%. And you don’t think he’s in serious trouble?

It’s not for no reason that Dave Obey (D-WI), one of the most powerful members of the House, has already thrown in the towel. Even in WI the people are angry.
