WASHINGTON - House control at stake, President Bush campaigned Sunday in endangered Republican districts across GOP-friendly middle America. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), hoping to become the first female speaker, stumped for Democratic challengers in the left-leaning Northeast. "Here's the way I see it," Bush told a crowd inside an auditorium in Grand Island, Neb. "If the Democrats are so good about being the party of the opposition, let's just keep them in the opposition." Republicans are hoping their party's acclaimed get-out-the-vote operation can prevent a Democratic rout in a campaign marked by voter fury over the Iraq...

Boy, today's Mason Dixon polls do nothing to dissuade the notion of a late-breaking shift back to the Republicans. As you know, I like to whack around pollsters like a pinata, but Mason-Dixon has a good reputation among political professionals - if they're not always right, they almost never give you a really wacky result. In 2004, they got 13 out of 14 swing states right at the presidential level (they put Bush up in Minnesota) and were pretty spot-on in their margin of victory. Today, M-D puts Brown beating DeWine by 6 in Ohio. (Who was writing last night...

Here is the FreeRepublic story: HERE IS WHAT PELOSI WILL DO AS SPEAKER These delusional leftists really don't believe that Iraq is critical to our war on terror. Many don't even believe there is a war on terror, despite the fact that almost every conflict around the world is because of ISLAMIC FASCISM. I am angry that we have not closed the border. I am angry that this president and congress have spent WAY, WAY TOO MUCH MONEY! I am angry that they allowed Miguel Estrada to be trashed, rather than using the Constitutional Option. Yes, I am angry at...

Just saw it a little while ago on MSNBC. Lincoln Chafee, according to a new McClatchy poll, leads Sheldon Whitehouse (D) by 1%, 46% to 45%. Kyl is ahead by 7%. Steele is virtually tied with Ben Cardin (D). 47 to 44% Burns has made a major comeback and is now tied with Democrat Jon Tester. Corker is ahead by 12%. Webb and Allen are tied. Get out and vote! The Dems haven't won. Not by a long shot.

Communist Party, USA endorses Democrats, Kerry Iraq "Plan" and MoveOn.org From the website of Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) : "Ending the occupation, the 2006 elections, and tactics" Communist Party, USA ^ | 09/25/2006 | Sam Webb, National Chair, CPUSA "The pressure for troop withdrawal is growing, so much so that earlier this summer Democrats introduced two resolutions in the Senate. One, authored by Senator Kerry, envisions a short exit strategy and a role for the international community. The other, which has the support of nearly 40 Democratic senators and may be re-introduced this fall, calls for troop withdrawal beginning this...

N.B. See the bolded comment, which I have pulled up from the body of the text. This is what "Obi-Wan Kenobi" told Jim Gerhaghty he was looking for as a good sign that our fortunes were improving. It is far from over but the closer we get to the end-game the better we are looking (e.g. see poll on which party do you trust on Iraq, our best numbers in two years). Generic Congressional candidate poll Among likely voters, this poll has tightened from a dem advantage among likely voters of 14 points (55-41) down to six points (51-45)—an eight-point...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 05, 2006 CONTACT: Brendan Daly/Jennifer Crider 202-226-7616 Pelosi Statement on Saddam Hussein Verdict Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today after former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was convicted in an Iraqi court of crimes against humanity: “The Iraqi people are to be commended for bringing Saddam to justice in an Iraqi court. I commend our brave American troops in Iraq as well, for the trial could not have taken place without the security and logistical support they provided. “Unfortunately, the verdict is a solitary incident in a country wracked by...

Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin yesterday tried to rally support among black Democrats in Prince George's County, while Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele campaigned with county Democratic leaders who broke ranks this week to endorse him. Mr. Cardin appeared with Prince George's County Executive Jack B. Johnson and about 30 other lawmakers in Hyattsville, aiming to keep a diminishing lead in the polls. In his first public show of support for Mr. Cardin, Mr. Johnson ... But the rally turned sour later. State Sen. Nathaniel Exum, Prince George's Democrat, berated Mr. Cardin for excluding him and other local delegates from speaking...

I was ready to give up GOP Sen. Mike DeWine's bid for reelection as a lost cause. And before I go any further, I emphasize, he's still trailing, by any measure. When Zogby Interactive had DeWine down 47 percent to Brown's 49 percent Monday, I figured it was typical Zogby, crazy numbers, not to be trusted. But did I miss that he's down 7 in a poll by Columbus-based Opinion Consultants? Apparently it was released Wednesday, and I missed it. (And Zogby's other poll, conducted for Reuters, had DeWine down 7.) Looking at these other polling dates and margins -...

"What would happen if the Democrats win?" House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., asked in an essay for National Review, a conservative publication. His ominous take is that taxes would be higher, the mission in Iraq would "be damned" and San Franciscan Nancy Pelosi, as the new speaker, would be "leading the culture war." With Election Day on Tuesday, the Republican pitch is aimed at rallying the GOP's dispirited voters and convincing them that they must cast ballots because of the high stakes. The bedrock of the Republican Party, conservatives have been irritated with President Bush and the GOP-controlled Congress for...

In an interview from her Capitol office, Pelosi characterized Tuesday's vote as a referendum on the war, shrugged off President Bush's efforts to make her liberalism a national issue, described the current GOP leadership as a "freak show," and expressed confidence about her party's prospects to pick up the 15 seats it needs for a majority. "We're going to take back the country for the American people -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- because it has been held hostage by the radical right wing of the Republican Party," Pelosi said. "This is a freak show, and it has to come...

Democrats say they will burst out of a 12-year exile with a bang if they win control of Congress on Tuesday. They promise to quickly pass a minimum wage increase at home and to reduce the U.S. war role in Iraq. Made-for-television hearings would focus on faulty intelligence used to justify the invasion of Iraq, strategic and tactical missteps once there and the sending of troops into combat with insufficient armor, the Democrats say. From the helm of the House Armed Services committee, they would press for an almost immediate troop drawdown. They also would try to switch the United...

With fully 14 statewide proposals on your Colorado ballot this election, it's no wonder I've been showered with requests to offer my recommendations. I'm flattered that conservatives are looking for guidance from a trusted source. Liberals, I suspect, want to know my choices so they can vote the opposite way. First, a disclosure: I've grown increasingly disaffected with the ballot initiative process in our state. It's better in theory than in practice. The presumption is that it enables well-informed voters to circumvent unresponsive legislators and take direct democratic action. Although there have been a handful of worthy ballot initiatives, the...

No thundering rhetoric here, folks- just a heartfelt, straightforward appeal.If you haven't voted yet, do it.Take a friend, tell a neighbor.Time's running out. The clintons and their pals still control the democrat party, and they are not done screwing with America and Americans. That's you and me, friends and neighbors; our relatives, our kids- we deserve better- if we have the courage to seize the power granted us, and use it once again to help America.Please do it... now. For further consideration: -Activate Yourself! ---Vote... and be D@mned! (vanity, but dead serious)--

Please continue in much prayer for the election coming up November 7th. Every day as I pray about this, and as I have been reading through 2 Chronicles at the same time, it does not seem to me that our country is in the same situation as ancient Israel in that period, where the leaders were all corrupt and led the people astray, and God brought judgment. Yes, there have been some corrupt people exposed in both parties (as the Lord in his providence “cleans house” and brings sin to light), but they surely do not represent the vast majority...

This is for Republicans who have decided not to vote or to vote for a democrat, I have a few things for you to think about. While a number of us are angry with the Republicans because they have not done many tings we wanted them to do we still need to vote. Yes, we hold the majority, but the democrats and few RHINO’S have continually thrown road blocks in our way. The consequences of not voting or voting for a democrat are enormous for this country. The next two years will consist of hearings, higher taxes and the loss...
