Shhhh don't tell anyone yet.

Well I see you can't keep a secret.

If he pulls out it's your fault. ;)

[Kuksool]

It is a good sign. If Gibbons did decline a Senate run, then the GOP might have to recruit a celebrity to run against Reid. Perhaps, Art Bell? LOL!

[Pubbie]

Do you know for a fact he's running or are just being a bit sarcastic? (Sorry to sound obsessive but I'm planning to give a sizable amount of campaign donations to GOP Senate Races next year, and I want to know which races I should put my money)

[swheats]

No one knows anything for sure until you hear it from Gibbons. He's another one that doesn't show his hand until he's ready to make his move. I just happened to being doing some research on patent information and came upon the web site. I posted because I remembered your thread from a day or so ago.

Now, if I may suggest, set aside a chunk of those funds. We need to send Reid home.

You might want to stock up on the decaf too nearing the elections. /sarcasm

Don't mean to bury you guys under pings

Too late :)

I saw that on Politics1, but don't pols usually take their campaign sites offline for a while before re-launching when their campaigns gear up? Does Gibbons use this site for all his campaigns? In this case it's an excellent way of masking his plans while keeping his website, senate or congressional, offline until he announces which way he's going.

But I'm willing to bet he's going senate.

LOL!

In FL, Daniel Webster has yet to declare his candidacy. FL House Speaker, Johnnie Byrd, has entered the Senate race, and is out raising funds.

In AR, Gov. Huckabee says he wants tend to state matters first before he gives any thoughts about a Senate race. So far, Huckabee is taking his own sweet time.

"Coming soon the new campaign website of Jim Gibbons"

It's a new site alright.

Huzzah!

[Pubbie]

"So far, Huckabee is taking his own sweet time."

He'd better make up his damn mind soon, he's delaying fundraising opportunities for other candidates while he sits twiddling his thumbs.

:(

When I saw "Gibbons" I thought the post was going to be about one of those loud acrobatic monkeys I saw that the zoo last week. I was thinking, a monkey vs a Democrat; I wonder how I could get involved in fund raising for the ape?

[Pubbie]

LOL.

In FL, Daniel Webster has yet to declare his candidacy.

Er, I think he just did the other day. Not sure if Weldon has made his candidacy official though.

[Kuksool]

Do you have a news link for Daniel Webster declaring his candidacy.

Thanks for the links.

CA - Forget me NOT! Tom McClintock will have good name recognition by then. AND, if Rnold is in the guber mansion, he'll pull Republicans to the polls. If Busty's there instead, the state will be screwed worse so voters will be irate and running to the polls. Aither way, CA-'04 will have massive non-Democrat voter turnout which makes defeating Boxer, who is weak anyhow, all the more possible.

SD - Well it certainly won't be leadfoot Janklow. South Dakotans better first be looking for someone to replace him in the House. Thune?

GA - I like Herman Cain. Plenty of his own money, and plenty of conservative bible-belt blacks in that state to come out and vote for him.

IN - can Marvin Scott defeat Bayh? Hoosier state is pretty solid Republican. How popular can Byebye be?

MD - Marbara Mikulski IS beatable. I know Michael Steele says he isn't running, but the Repubs are foolish for not fielding even a half decent candidate for this race.

NY - can Michael Benjamin beat Schumer the tumor? Schumer didn't win by much last time and is a chief obstructionist of judicial nominees (some of whom happen to be hispanic, black, and women).

[Impy]

In LA there will probably be a runoff it Breaux retires, right. Bush would only be on the ballot in November.

[Impy]

I fear Bayh is unbeatable. Unless Dan Quayle takes him on!!!!! Quayle beat his dad Birch Bayh in 1980.

Bayh scares me a little. He has the amazing ability (for a rat) to say thing wihtout sounding like an a-hole.

Thankfully the left hates him and would never allow him to be on the Presidential ticket.

[zbigreddogz]

How can he be a popular Senator if he won by only 428 votes? Surely he can't be all that popular?

Why is Rove against a primary challenge against Lisa Murkowazzhername? I think we could do better then her for sure. I mean, as long as we have a credible candidate, isn't Alaska basically sewn up anyway?

NV Senate race *ping*

Gibby needs to get his butt into this race pronto, no excuses.
