The debt ceiling, let President Obama and Reid, Hoyer and Wasserman-Schultz drag around about raising the debt ceiling over 14 trillion.  This actually is perfect, its clear messaging, that things are not going great.  Conservatives have every opportunity to play this out, with minimum negatives to the GOP…let them push raising ceilings, you start getting some cuts you promised.  The troops will still be paid, so will federal workers…so let  liberals get tied up over, being cut off the cash.   It also puts Obama in partisan territory, somewhere he has tried to make an image of some peacemaker, since December.

Now getting worried about WI, TX and CA.

Meg Whitman will set her own course in CA, not much she cant do.  WI will be a huge battle in a blue state, we got the best candidate, so its just going down to turnout.

TX, Rick Perry has worried me, seems he has been on his own, he has been badly outspent so far on TV, DGA is now piling on.  He is still up in the polls, now its time for high gear.

The liberals in West Virginia are very nervous, they know they are fighting in what should be a wipe-out.  If I was the GOP campaign, ramp up the ad, there is nothing wrong with the photo and its a good ad.

I wonder how much support he would have lost, if before the election he said he was going to act like a big old baby if he lost.  If he wants to be coy, and not cut an ad for him fine, but giving media interviews about how he “still has reservations”….come on man.  Makes me glad he lost now.

He thinks Rick Scott was mean, has he never been in a contested election with a Democrat?  Rick Scott was nothing what the Dems would throw, buck up guy, do the right thing move on (same goes for Alaska Senator).

Plus she is different and interesting, and this election cycle, different and interesting is a winning combo, not long-time politician.

Kesha Rogers ran a very public campaign in the Democratic Primary, on the position of impeaching President Obama, and the Democratic voters nominated her, fair and square. Now party officials want to deny her any help…that is not very inclusive?

Score on for freshman Rep. Pete Olson, the divisions of the Democratic Party surface again.

I watched Raul Labrador debate, he had me sold after he mentioned “the conservative Governor of Puerto Rico” Luis Fortuno, but he will be a good candidate for Idaho. He has a better chance against Walt, than Ward, whose campaign just exploded.

This is why our work in MA pays off, success breeds success.  Scott Brown, is a team player and him lending himself to Tim Burns (they probably disagree on a number of social issues), but having a Republican majority means conservatives win.

Scott Brown is the real deal, he gets to represent the most liberal of states, but his campaign appearance in PA will be 3x’s anything Joe Biden could cobble together.

This week, Bill White, has been caught lying to the Texas Ethics Committee.  His campaign is already having problems keeping his secrets…secret.  Mr. Bill’s campaign spokesman admitted he received $83,000 from a “real estate partnership” in 2009 and it was reported on his income tax return, one slight problem, the income was oddly omitted from his Personal Finiancal Statement to the Texas Ethics Commission.

It is also interesting that this is already the second time that hidden payments have been found, also while Mayor of Houston, he received 2.6 million from a company under congressional investigation.

NOW, in an effort to deflect from this, he is flailing around like a feather, now saying that Governor Perry should get politics out of the Texas State Board of Education, by injecting politics into the Texas school system.  Another slight problem, is that apparently Mr. Bill does not know that the Board of Education in Texas is elected independently and the Governor does not control it’s decision.

Another week of Bill White on the offense…FAIL.
