In order to get conservative judges approved by the Senate, we need to win the Senate majority. Please pick a few candidates and send them contributions via the links provided, or via the U.S. Postal Service. If Talent can win in Missouri we might get control of the Senate in time to vote for the invasion of Iraq, as Carnahan was only appointed to serve "until the next election."

I was having trouble uploading www.saxby.org, which is why I don't have a postal address for Chambliss. If anyone has a better URL for that race, please post it.

PLEASE PING your friends who might be able to help. And please BUMP this thread so that it is brought to the attention of as many FReepers as possible.

Finally, will those who run across polls for these races please post them here, or if you see another Senate race where we are in trouble please let us know.

I don't think Dole is going to lose. Last pole I saw her up by like 20 points (which was a while ago though) against Bowles

Address:

Chambliss for Senate

Atlanta, GA 30355

Bowles is a Clintonista, and they run vicious campaigns. Plus, let's face it, Elizabeth is not good at this kind of fight and money and the expertise money can buy will help her.

[patriciaruth]

Thanks for the Chambliss address!

I fully support all of these Republican nominees, and have done some work to help all of them.

However, they are all fully funded by the National Party...in fact, they are awash in cash.

Perhaps some FReepers might be more interested in supporting someone the powers-that-be are ignoring; fellow FReeper Jay Wolfe of West Virginia, who is running a very strong, but underfunded, effort against incumbent Dem Senator Jay Rockefeller.

I still don't see it (her losing) happening, under any conditions. 99-1 says she wins, and by a large amount.

No way Dole Losses NC

[patriciaruth]

Do you have any poll numbers on Jay Wolfe?

If he has some realistic chance, I'd be happy to send to him instead of to Elizabeth.

[patriciaruth]

If any of you run across poll numbers for any of these candidates, could you please post here or a link here?

Also, are there any races you believe are worth more consideration?

[EternalVigilance]

Nope--and that's one reason why the Party is ignoring us. They only care about poll numbers and cash on hand.

Of course, the folks making those decisions are the same ones who said that WV was unwinnable in 2000 for the President...they spent less than 10 grand here.

Fortunately for all of us--and for our country--the grassroots activists in the counties and precincts of this state didn't believe them---and delivered WV's 5 electoral votes to Bush anyhow.

And, as they say, the rest is history.

Thanks for the links!

[patriciaruth]

Don't have any poll numbers or afraid I will blanch if he is 15 or 20 points behind?

[EternalVigilance]

Don't have any because it would be foolish in the extreme to spend thousands of dollars on polling that are currently being spent to successfully win votes.

[patriciaruth]

Newspapers and others sometimes have polls done that come into the public domain, so I was not implying he should have done them himself.

I think that the Democrats have made a HUGE error in shifting the debate to Iraq in the last two months before the election. And I think it means that some places we couldn't have anticipated before as being vulnerable, like West Virginia, will come into play as a result of this stupid tactical move by the Dims.

I am seriously considering your call to donate to the West Virginia race. I'm not a fat cat, so it won't be a lot, but maybe others will consider supporting your candidate.

I'll go to his website and check him out.

[nopardons]

Something of interest, to us all. :-)

[patriciaruth]

See, you can make a difference. I just donated some money to Jay Wolfe's campaign.

Boy, am I a soft touch.:-)

I also have this address in my files:

Can you tell me which address is the best?

[Coop]

You need to add CO as a possible GOP loss, and I think it's safe to remove NC as at risk. TN is more worrisome to me than NC, though I think Lamar will pull it out. There are a ton of polls on all these races, from a variety of sources. I have a spreadsheet with over 185 Senate polls, but it's not something you can post here. But here's a link that might help.
