Bravo !
Time to put away the hate and support this excellent Conservative for this seat.
Good.
He shouldn’t let all these clucking hens push him out.
Go for it Todd.
Telling the RNC to shove it is what is needed right now.
As far as I’m concerned having their support is nothing different from having the DNC support.
God bless.
Go Todd!
We’re shafted.
Here is my take on the top ten U.S. Senate races most likely to flip:
1.) Nebraska- State Senator Deb Fischer (R) has come out of nowhere to become a rising star and is a solid favorite to win the general election. Bob Kerrey (D) is very much yesterday’s news.
2.) Maine- Ex-Governor Angus King, running as an independent, has slipped in recent weeks, but still remains the favorite. Ex state Senator Charlie Summers has potential, but needs to build up his name I.D. The ‘Rat, state Senator Cynthia Dill, remains mired in third place.
3.) North Dakota- The race between Congressman Rick Berg (R) and ex-state Attorney General Heidi Heithkamp (D) remains surprisingly close, with Heithkamp exceeding everybod’s expectations. That being said, most polls show Berg slightly ahead in a state where Obama is highly unpopular and while I don’t think he’ll win by much, he’ll probably win.
4.) Montana- Most polls show Congressman Denny Rehberg (R) holding a narrow lead over incumbent Jon Tester (D). Tester has run a good campaign and Rehberg was clearly caught off guard by it. Still, look for Rehberg to win in a close race.
5.) Massachusetts- Incumbent Scott Brown (R) is doing what he has to do to win in this liberal bastion, but even that might not be quite enough. Elizabeth Warren’s class warfare speech at her party’s convention was like a free infomercial and she’s pulled even in the polls. Brown’s campaign has become increasingly aggressive in response.
5.) Wisconsin- Tommy Thompson (R)had momentum after winning the Republican primary, but was broke and had to raise funds. Democrat Tammy Baldwin and her party caught him napping and bombarded him with negative ads, which he wasn’t able to answer. Now it’s a tossup.
6.) Virginia- Tim Kaine (D) vs. George Allen (R) remains expensive, grueling, and too close to call. It may be the last race called on election night, with the victor anybody’s guess.
7.) Indiana- Establishment vs. conservatve divisions remain among state REpublicans after Richard Lugar’s defeat. State Treasurer Richard Mourdock is in a close one with Congressman Joe Donnelly and both parties are spending big time on attack ads. How much Obama loses the state by may influence the outcome.
8.) Connecticut- This wasn’t even supposed to be competitive, but businesswoman Linda McMahon (R) has proven to be a better candidate than even her supporters had expected and she’s thrown Congressman Christopher Murphy on the defensive over a questionable home mortgage. Murphy is running negative ads, but was clearly caught off guard.
9.) New Mexico- Congressman Martin Heinrich has pulled ahead of his Republican predecessor in the House, Heather Wilson. The race remains competitive and Wilson remains well within striking distance.
10.) Josh Mandel’s campaign to unseat Sherrod Brown has hit some speed bumps and bad press. However, while Brown remains in the lead, he still hasn’t put this race away.
I’m glad Akin hasn’t backed down. If he can win this without establishment backing (actually, in spite of their opposition), McConnell will find it pretty hard to squeeze a big government vote out of this guy. He was already willing to buck party leadership. Imagine what he would tell them after defeating ObamaClaire while the Republican party boys were badmouthing him.
Every election year we have 1 race that totally takes the DC Beltway media by surprise. I think this one may be it.
McCaskil is very unpopular, is polling under 50% in a pro Romney state. According to most polling Akin is closer then he should be
It would be funnier then heck to watch the GOP media from Rove on down have to eat massive amounts of crow if Akin turned out to be the 51st Republican Senator.
Congratulations you patriot! I was supportive from day one. Most of here have been pitiful. disgusting behavior.
Post election results will no doubt read something like "Akin loses....big winners are Claire McCaskill and Harry Reid." A-N-D "Romney loses....big winners are barak obama, Eric Holder, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and a more liberal Supreme Court".
The usual GO TODD GO!!!!
RNC I hope you read these things if not my letters.
FUND TODD.
He did well in the debate against Claire.
The die has been cast, what’s the RNC’s problem?
Do they WANT the Dem to keep the seat?
Somebody in DC needs a good kick in the @ss.
