Much larger goal needed
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Saturday, May 23rd at 6:19PM EST (link)$10k is nothing for just a single-district race let alone a Federal level office campaign – so hopefully he will be getting at least $25,000 from people across the country for his campaign by years end….
I am giving right after I finish posting this… After all, I can’t whine how we need more Conservative candidates and not support one in this instance especially since I’ve openly stated how I “understand” how/why the NRSC wants a Shoe-in win in FL (as a matter of National Republican strategy – Crist/Rubio discussion [multiple sub-links]) with Crist….. If nothing else comes from this, Rubio MUST (at least) constantly remind Crist it is CONSERVATISM that has people coming/looking to the Republican Party (and the GOP’s CONSERVATIVE Platform) NOT RINOism…. Crist MUST understand he is expected to be a PLATFORM RED-DOG and not a RINO.
While I’m not convinced (looking at it objectively, not from my Conservative heart) Rubio can/will go on to win the Primary and then be viable for the General, I HOPE HE CAN!
We cannot insist on the Party change if we do NOT fight WITHIN the Party (can one catch RINOvirus and/or Sit-It-Out) for it, but then offer some loyalty in return (same as we DEMAND from/of them) come General Election time and beyond.
And NO – No I won’t be contributing to Crist…. part of the whole points was/is that he shouldn’t need the help and has his own war-chest and/or ability to raise it locally.

I didn't set the goal
Erick Erickson (Diary) Saturday, May 23rd at 8:20PM EST (link)The campaign set it up. We’ve actually exceeded it because I didn’t start funneling people to the tracking link until very late yesterday.
Basically, we raised well over $5,000 in less than 24 hours.
Who will stand on either hand and keep this bridge with me?Follow @EWErickson

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics.

no kidding
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Saturday, May 23rd at 8:36PM EST (link)I sure wish RedState was around when I was running-in/taking-on my DEEP BLUE District/County here in Michigan…. and for support when we tried to unseat Dingel-bat (yes, he’s been good on guns, but that is it – and that seat they are trying to pass down the family to his Son or Wife eventually, both even more Liberal) with James DeSana. I needed much more funds for TV Ad spots that was making them uncomfortable.

So, you will now double that goal/mark!?!? He will certainly be able to raise plenty over time, but quick early funds (from first hand experience) make a HUGE difference.

Draining of Cash=no help
redtillimdead (Diary) Sunday, May 24th at 2:01PM EST (link)I understand yall.I like Marco Rubio much more than Crist, and view him as a potential presidential contender. But, maybe he should run for Governor. I think he would make a great senator, or governor, but Crist will not change his mind, he is running for senate. Draining the NRSC of cash because of their endorsement will not help. That money can be used to help conservatives in blue states, that if funded well, could win, like Chuck Devore in California. It could be used to dump Dodd. Push Reid. Get rid of Lincoln. Gain the VP’s former seat. Hold on to Gregg’s seat. Take Obama’s former seat. Take Clinton’s former seat. Hold on to Bunning. Think about the effect that money will have. Donate to Marco, but don’t try to drain the NRSC. It will just hurt us, and our country.
Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.
Well I beg to differ redtilimdead....
JadedByPolitics (Diary) Sunday, May 24th at 2:07PM EST (link)the NRSC have hurt themselves and by doing so in your words hurting our country….this is NOT their business to get into a battle of two candidates in the primary it is NOT their business to spend ANY MONEY down in Florida until the general election …..so to summarize for you DON’T come here and tell US that WE are hurting the National apparatus THEY HURT THEMSELVES!

redtillimdead (Diary) Sunday, May 24th at 3:56PM EST (link)They are just endorsing Crist, I heard no cash until general. They are just trying to endorse the candidate they have the best shot of winning with in the general.
Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.
The bottom line is the NRSC coming out before the primary....
JadedByPolitics (Diary) Sunday, May 24th at 4:00PM EST (link)hurts Rubio with cash that is their point of interjecting themselves. They are either going to let the voters in the primary decide or they are going to become irrelevent to any discussion of cash from the grassroots it really is quite simple….they have done it before and suffered greatly but like the Republicans in Congress they must be a tad bit masochistic because they love to be smacked around!
