A Little Lady Predicts a Big Win
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 10/29/2010 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 10/29/2010, 4:45:46 AM by jocon307

.....What's rising now on the Republican side is big but not fully known and will evolve, will change itself and direct itself and maybe even settle some old issues as it goes forward in the next few years. It promises to be turbulent, and rich in meaning.

We'll know in the early hours next Wednesday how it all turned out. But here is one way you'll know it's huge: Anna Little wins in New Jersey. If she wins it means the Republican wave swept all before it.

Not that she's expected to. She's running for Congress in the Jersey Shore's Sixth Congressional District, which went for Mr. Obama over Mr. McCain 60% to 38%. She's the Republican mayor of Highlands, population 5,000 up against incumbent Frank Pallone, an 11-term Democratic veteran who won in 2008 by 35 points. A Monmouth University poll has her down seven points. On the bright side, numbers guru Nate Silver just increased her chances of winning from 2% to 5%, and Charlie Cook changed the listing of the race from safe Democrat to likely Democrat.

Ms. Little takes it in stride. She says she's not looking at Obama's numbers. "I'm looking at Chris Christie's numbers." The Republican governor carried the district by 8% last November.

GO ANNA GO!

And thanks to Peggy Noonan for this nice write up.

My friend Lois is quoted! It's so exciting!

Please, any Jersey freepers in the 6th District, do not fail to vote for Anna!

And to all freepers not in NJ-6, please keep Anna in your prayers for Victory next week.

When you look up "entrenched liberal democrat" in the dictionary you see Pallone's picture.

HE HAS GOT TO GO!

I think Peggy Noonan has been reading my mail!

I have been making the point about Christie winning NJ-6 since April. Though by my calculations, Christie won it by 12.5%, not 8%.

And I have also been telling everyone that Little vs. Pallone is the one to watch. NJ reports fast. If you see Anna Little beating Frank Pallone at 9:00 Tuesday, you’ll know it is going to be a good, good night.

Anna’s Army can win this thing. She caught Pallone flat-footed. This is gonna be good!

You’ve done a lot to boost Anna here on FR.

Christie is doing a lot for Anna.

He came to a rally for her last week (or the week before, it is all starting to blend together in my mind) and he was great.

A lot of the tea party people have “issues” with Christie, but he spoke to that crowd so perfectly.

I came home raving about him to hubby. I could really see why people think he should run for president.

Not a word wrong, he was just about perfect. Someone in the crowd even had a sign “CHRIS CHRISTIE TOO BIG TO FAIL”.

Now, nobody there even noticed this, because the fellow was in the back of the room, but Christie himself drew attention to it. Very amusing.

He may not be a Rush Limbaugh republican, but I think he could be a party builder in NJ.

Christ Christie and the Tea Party, perfect together?

OH MY GOSH I HOPE WE WIN!

VVV- I think Ms. Noonan has it right, if Anna pulls it off you won’t need me to tell you she did!

Please, in all sincerity, please pray for our efforts.

As I’ve been saying to hubby (he’s been a big help too), if effort alone can do it, SHE WILL WIN!

I am happy to help Anna Little. She is the Real Deal.

I think she is going to win this thing. Her ground game is something to behold. I have never seen anything remotely like it from Pallone.

Little has planted the idea that Pallone can be beat. Her supporters, and everybody who wants a change in Washington, are going to do whatever it takes to get to the polls.

But Pallone’s supporters, lukewarm and entitled as they are, will never see it coming. They’ll go to bed early on Election Day, secure in the knowledge that Pallone has been re-elected by a wide margin, yet again. And then, in the morning, they will be shocked to see that Anna Little will be representing the Sixth Congressional District in January.

Polls cut both ways. Anna Little has been telling her supporters that we will win this thing if we work and sweat and do everything we can to get ourselves and our supporters to the polls. Frank Pallone has just been telling himself that he is going to win. Anna’s way is going to work. Pallone is going to be shocked.
