Rush led the charge and Hannity is backing him up.
I see a lot of smart conservative women getting in the game this year.
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Cyprian’s day.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
That is already decided. Both state and national GOP have said they will not spend a dime on her nor will they support her.
There you have it, people, the PUBs don’t give a damn what you think. Shut up and do what we tell you.
GTH, GOP!
******************
If this is so, we must IMMEDIATELY begin the organization of a second party after this election cycle.
This is a signal to us that THEY realize they are being beat, and being beat bad.
A couple of good battles and the GOP can be OURS.
AND in our immage.
The NSRC backed Specter over Toomey, only to have Specter defect to the ‘Rat party. Specter’s vote alone brought us ObamaCare, and his election was financed with GOP money. At least the ‘Rat who may win in Delaware will not win with GOP funds.
And it is St. Cyprian’s day. He was martyred today.
Airplanes first - then the girls!
Your argument MIGHT have SOME validity in a Presidential year, but not this year.
Not only would my argument certainly have complete validity in a Presidential election year, it has validity this year as well.
Let's look at the Scott Brown election. 1.9mm MA Democrats voted for Obama in 2008, 1.1mm MA Democrats voted for Coakley in 2010. That's a Democrat dropoff of 45%.
1.11mm MA Republicans voted for McCain in 2008. 1.17mm MA Republicans voted for Brown in 2010. That's a 5% increase.
MA turnout in 2010 overall was 74% of what it was in 2008.
However, DE is not MA. DE is 21% African-American vs. 6% for MA. Democrat turnout in DE in 2010 will not almost halve as in MA.
Moreover, I would assume that every single fired-up Tea Party activist in DE voted O'Donnell last night - and she got 30,000 votes.
If DE has 74% of 2008 turnout, that would mean 300,000 votes cast in the general, meaning that O'Donnell's fired up base would account for 10% of the vote.
Brown won by less than 5% in MA. He would have lost if MA was 21% African-American.
O'Donnell has a ton of work to do.
Hit piece. I hate when an interviewer refuses to let the person being interviewed finish their statements! Shades of Larry O’Donell, Dylan Ratigan, and Crazy Ed Shultz!
I’m in Texas, and I’d vote for her.
“DE is 21% African-American”
And what percentage of the electorate? Yeah, it’s a road to hoe, but it can be done.
It will be less in 2010, but likely more than 21%.
What about in 2006, the off year senate election?
I doubt that's the comparable though.
2008 is far too high and 2006 is probably too low.
I think turnout will be better on both sides in 2010 vs. 2006.
That’s far more comparable than a 2008 historic election wave. I’d be surprised if higher than 10 percent of the electorate were black in this election.
Nationally, maybe. Not in DE.
Off year election. Two honkies.
They are democrats only not marxists enough to win in the democrat party. They even act like petulant children. Just like Dims. Acting just like dims is what is wrong with them. And that is why they lost. Did ya catch the big eyed brunette on Fox & Friends this morning. What a looser. Remember 1789, we’re coming for ya DC. Can ya hear us now?
