His only flaw...... calling women over 40, "Mom". lol!

Sorry, but I am afraid I started that !

He is amazing. I always tell people he would wear out the Eveready Bunny! We are proud of him!

[Badray]

"Other than a blog, what did he do to be so effective?"

He was everywhere doing everything. Rallies, meetups, door to door, side of the road, phone calls, yard signs, motivator, organizer, doer. Everything, all the time. He was absolutely tireless.

Actually, I think Chris has a twin or two or three. That's the only way that I can explain how he did so much.

[smokeyb]

So tell us what you did to try to get him out ? What's that they say about the lottery ? You have to PLAY to WIN?

And if good old Rick and GW hadn't come in at the last moment to save Arlen's sorry tail he would have won!

Hmmmm? He nearly beat the REPUBLICAN PARTY POLITICAL MACHINE!

[Badray]

Thanks for the ping.

Boxford, Now you did it. If you hadn't told, no one would know that smokeyb was over 40. She made me vow never to tell anyone that she's really over 50, so no one'll ever get it out of me.

Now quit telling secrets. ;-)

[smokeyb]

Yeah! Now my son, oops! I mean Chris knows how old I am !

[Boxsford]

You can also read a Human Events article titled: Lone Stars To The Rescue: 1500 Texans Flew Under The Radar In Key Swing States by Chris (General Havoc) posted here on FR.

[Boxsford]

...folks only need visit the PA board to find out these secrets. lol!

[GeneralHavoc]

You all are too kind.

I am lucky to have so many wonderful teachers and friends like you to learn from!

"I think we have to get rid of this old kingmaker system where people in the back room decide who runs. Let's have primaries, let's have the war of ideas. Let's have excitement again where we debate issues. And I think in the war of ideas, conservative ideas win out." .....................//....................... "We need people who are willing to put principle before party," he said.

Now there's a man whose thinking I could embrace and support if he was to run for national office.

[B4Ranch]

I like this guy!

"We need people who are willing to put principle before party," he said.

Thank you, but that is a "mother's" job. (lol)

[etcetera]

Can someone fill me in on why GWB supported Specter instead of Toomey?

[Conservative Goddess]

BadRay you are sooooooo right. Chris isn't for sale. God Bless the young man! Not only did he almost rid the state and the nation of Specter, but perhaps more importantly, he smoked out the real Santorum. Rick sold principle for party....and now I wouldn't vote for him if he ran for dog catcher.

[mombrown1]

Agreed – from another of his mom’s.

[mombrown1]

I remember when Delaware County was red.

You're doing a whole lot 'o ASSuming there buddy. I contacted a number of politicians regarding this matter. I personally wrote, emailed, and called my Senator Saxby Chambliss R-Ga who is on the Judiciary Committee, re- friggen -lentlessly. I already posted a copy of my letter. This is a link to it

I received nothing but weak responses from Saxby's representatives. I indicated that he'd get equally nonexistent support from me in the future.

Talk about how "close" things were is just silly. The outcome was already decided by the "big-tenters" long before all the hub-bub erupted.

"Hmmmm? He nearly beat the REPUBLICAN PARTY POLITICAL MACHINE!"

Horseshoes and hand grenades

[avg_freeper]

Ok, I'm not saying that what Christopher did wasn't great. Of course it was. And I commend him.

I guess I'm just frustrated with how things turned out. After spending time and communicating with so many people and getting lots of noncommittal responses. It torqued me off a bunch.

I should have said that first instead.

[Badray]

"...folks only need visit the PA board to find out these secrets. lol!"

You mean I can find out what's going on if I go to the PA board? Maybe I should go to there more often. I usually avoid it because of all the fighting. ;-)

[Badray]

"I am lucky to have so many wonderful teachers and friends like you to learn from!"

Grasshopper, you have learned your lessons well and are now the master and we are your students. Congratulations on getting the recognition you deserve.

[Badray]

" Now there's a man whose thinking I could embrace and support if he was to run for national office."

You will have your chance if you live in PA. I see him in the Senate some day, but he's only 25 and still has to finish his law degree.
