Free Republic

<p>Jim DeMint in South Carolina is our second most important Senate candidate recommendation (Tom Coburn of Oklahoma is #1), and it is a critically important race we simply can not lose. We did a poll last week that showed him ahead by 12 points, but other polls show the lead in the single digits. His opponent touts a Democratic poll showing her narrowly ahead.</p>

By Hugh Hewitt © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com With 34 days left before the election, the campaigns for the United States Senate around the country are making their final ad buys and preparing for their last mail drops. The GOP stands in pretty good shape, but needs a strong close in nine states to make a huge difference in the United States Supreme Court battles of next summer. If John Thune, Richard Burr, Pete Coors, Tom Coburn, Bill Jones, George Nethercutt, Mel Martinez and Jim DeMint join Lisa Murkowski in the "greatest deliberative body in the world," George W. Bush's nominees will receive a...

October 05, 2004 Daschle fails to stop third party ad Tom Daschle wants his supporters to sign a petition on his website. The first paragraph reads: &#8220;It&#8217;s time to change the tone of our elections. It&#8217;s time to stop the out-of-state attack ads and have a campaign about what&#8217;s best for the voters.&#8221; But, Tom &#8220;Hypocrisy&#8221; Daschle fails to tell you that he doesn&#8217;t mind allowing out-of-state attack ads as long as they favor his campaign.

I just watched today's "FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace" (thanks TiVo) and noticed that Wallace is EXTREMELY BIASED in favor of the DEMOCRATS (especially the Gov. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich, and Bill Owens, R-Colo segmen) The clips, the questions to guests reveal a deep biased. Does anyone have the transcript? LET's analyize it in good FREEPer fashion.

WASHINGTON - In the presidential campaign's closing weeks, Democrats are bracing for an "October Surprise," an event so dramatic it could influence the election's outcome. The capture of Osama bin Laden, for instance.

We might be headed for another close election, which means your vote could really matter this time, right? Wrong. Your vote didn't matter in 2000, it never mattered before 2000, and it's very unlikely to start mattering now. Last time around, everything came down to Florida, where Bush's official margin was 537 votes. If any one of Florida's 6 million voters had stayed home, Bush's margin would have been 536 or 538 votes, and he'd still have won. Even if you voted in the most hotly disputed state in the mostly hotly disputed election in American history, your vote did...

As John Kerry travels the country campaigning in the last 36 days of this election, he’ll be followed by a school of dolphins, led by Flipper, who will highlight Kerry’s flip-flops on every major issue from the war on terror to whether or not he owns an assault rifle or an SUV.

Power Line reader Kevin Bailey thinks he was responsible for changing the headline on the Associated Press story we attacked over the weekend from "Bush Twists Kerry's Words on Iraq" to "Bush, Kerry, Twisting Each Other's Words": I called the main office in NY immediately upon seeing the headline. After politely hearing me out, the girl there put me in touch with the D.C. office. A man named Tom Strong in the D.C. office tried to pawn me off on an automated comment line. When I refused, and asked to speak with someone who could get the headline changed (I...

Can we have an open debate on what happened with us, fiscal conservatives in the last 10 years? I think this Hill cartoon is very telling:

This post is a basic "How To" guide for folks who are new to canvasing, or have thought about doing it but are nervous about it. While this is for Bush, I'm sure that it's 95+% similar to canvassing for any other candidate. The rap is assuming that you're canvassing registered independents, or people of unknown leanings. Obviously it changes if you have more information about them. Canvassing in general is substantially more effective than phone banking: you reach probably twice as many people per hour, and typically get to talk to around 30-40% of the people on your list,...

Ballot Access News has the latest tally of which ballots where Nader will be listed as a candidate.

With 40 days to go, Daschle's on the ropes but he's crafty as can be, and as his ads showing him with President Bush demonstrate, he's incapable of shame.

Congrats!

Finally an excellent article on the various poll methodology.
