We just need to keep recruiting on our side and keep sending in more people for battle. Don’t give up when the goal is in sight.
They will keep moving the goalposts. Adjust accordingly.

Her track record running against Hulshof was not promising. She would have fractured the GOP and wound up with either her or Blunt so battle-scarred that neither one could have defeated Carnahan, who could sit by and watch them in amusement.

But feel free to vote for Chuck Purgason if you have an issue with Blunt. Maybe that’ll make you feel better.

It does not matter if you win the first laps: as Charlton Heston tells the horses in “Ben-Hur” you have to win the last lap to win the race.

If the economy gets slightly better, Dems will start yelling that they get the credit, even though the reality will be that any recovery will be in spite of them. It will be a difficult and subtle point to make that things would be much much better, if Congress and NObama had done nothing.

So Conservative candidates need to push this idea early and often: any recovery is in spite of the choke-hold placed on the economy by the Dems.

Steelman could have made this a really interesting race. Instead it’ll be porkfull v lib.

Despite what some think of the NRSC, they have scored some impressive candidates this year around and fundraising. CT, NV, CO and IL are going to be great races to watch, but MO, OH, KY, NH and NC races are going to be barnburners and all are critical to GOP gains. With 2012 and 2014 on the GOP side of math, if we can squeek by with some gains this cycle, some of the liberal juggernaut can be stopped. 51 is the goal, but 43 would be a win this cycle around.

it seems to be getting close between McDonnell and Deeds. Rasmussen’s latest numbers have them within the MOE:

“The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Virginia voters finds McDonnell attracting 48% of the vote while Deeds picks up 46%. Two weeks ago, McDonnell held a nine-point advantage. In August, McDonnell was up by eight. ”

I have to wonder about the accuracy of telephone surveys though.

Blunt represents the 7th, not the 2nd.

But since Carnahan was expected to cake walk this seat all the way to the Capitol, this is VERY good news.

Blunt is not known statewide still yet his son was and he wasn’t that popular while Carnahan has run statewide twice now and if he fav is at 52% it shows it can only go down

I had always thought this was our most vulnerable seat next year. I guess OHio is. Just a side note too, donate within the next week! We need to give our candidates momentum going into the last quarter! Blunt did good last quarter, can we do it again this quarter?
Current CoH for Blunt and Carnahan-
Blunt-$1,767,742, he also has 160k in debt
Carnahan-$2,302,252
Lets see if we can close the gap, eh?
