There are still several important Senate Primary Races left! And places where we can WIN! PLEASE contribute! And if you can't contribute money.. the least we can do is go to their pages and give them a "like" or a tweet.

Oklahoma:

Endorsed by: Sarah Palin, Mike Lee, Mark Levin, Senate Conservatives Fund.

TW Shannon - - FACEBOOK - - TWITTER - - DONATE



Shannon was most recently Speaker of the House in Oklahoma. As Speaker, Shannon led some of the most Conservative sessions in Oklahoma history.

Oklahoma passed an immigration law tougher than Arizona. Oklahoma defunded the arts. Oklahoma restricted abortions. Oklahoma cut the budget and cut taxes. Oklahoma passed open carry. Oklahoma voted not to participate in Obamacare.

T.W. Shannon is the former Speaker of the House in the Oklahoma legislature. He was elected by his Republican colleagues as the youngest and first African American House Speaker. He's also been called "the most conservative Speaker in State History." T.W. Shannon believes that government programs create a cycle of dependency that robs people of their dignity and traps them in generational poverty. If he's elected to the Senate, he will be a powerful voice for freedom.


Mississippi:

Endorsed by: Sarah Palin, Mike Lee, Mark Levin, Senate Conservatives Fund.

Chris Mcdaniel - - FACEBOOK - - TWITTER - - DONATE



Chris McDaniel is a constitutional conservative who will fight to stop Obamacare, balance the budget, and get America working again. Chris McDaniel is not part of the Washington establishment and he has the courage to stand up to the big spenders in both parties. He's a principled leader who will make Mississippi proud.


Kentucky:

Endorsed by: Sarah Palin, Mike Lee, Mark Levin, Senate Conservatives Fund.

Matt Bevin - - FACEBOOK - - TWITTER - - DONATE



Matt Bevin is a constitutional conservative who will fight to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying our country. He isn't afraid to stand up to the Washington establishment and he will do what it takes to stop Obamacare, cut spending, and get the government off our backs. Matt Bevin is an exceptional candidate. He's principled, passionate, and has Ted Cruz-like courage.



Nebraska:

Ben Sasse - - FACEBOOK - - TWITTER - - DONATE



Ben Sasse is a strong conservative with a proven record of solving difficult problems. He's an expert on health care policy and will help repeal Obamacare and enact free-market health care policies that lower costs and increase quality. There are other good candidates in this race, but Ben Sasse stands above the rest. He's smart, principled, and he's not afraid to tackle tough issues.



Iowa:

maybe put the primary dates up there next time. Maybe we could do the same for House races ... respond whomever is interested in the House.

For House candidates, we don’t even need pictures.

[ConservativeMan55]

Good idea.

I thought about putting primary dates!!

[don-o]

Gee! Does that mean we should try to coax some FReepers off the ledge? That Rove and his minions have won only the first skirmish?

[ConservativeMan55]

Oh thanks!!!

That is a great source there!!

[Impy]

I’m pleasantly surprised that Kansas is NOT listed. Agree with Oklahoma, TW Shannon 100%. Iowa, Erst. And Nebraska, Sasse, though nothing is wrong with the other guy, Shane Osborn.

Kentucky, sorry, loser Bevin is going to get crushed, don’t waste your money on him.

Tennessee belongs up there, State Rep. Joe Carr. His odds aren’t great but unlike Kentucky that race is worth it. There is still time. August 7th.

Some important House primaries include

GA-11, stop Bob Barr, May 20, Barr will probably make the runoff

ID-1, Conservative Bryan Smith over RINO Mike Simpson, very important, May 20th.

CA-52, all party primary, support Fred Simon Jr. over gay moderate Carl DeMaio. June 3rd.

NJ-3, Most of you will probably disagree but Tom MacArthur over perennial loser Steve Lonegan, this is one of our top 3 most vulnerable seats. June 3rd.

ME-2. Bruce Polquin over moderate Kevin Raye. June 10th

NV-4 Niger Innis, June 10th

[ConservativeMan55]

bump!

[Fledermaus]

Joe Carr won’t win BUT he’s forcing Lamar to actually run. I hope he gets at least 35%-40% of the vote. A lot of my fellow TN folks are sick of Lamar and Corker.

But they have the machine working for them in east TN.

[Impy]

NY 22- Claudia Tenney over RINO Richard Hanna

Hanna has the Independence Party ballot line and Tenney the Conservative line and there is no democrat in the race, so these 2 will face off again in November with Hanna the de facto rat choice. If Hanna has the GOP line he is certain to win, Tenney might have half a chance if she has it. Primary June 24th

ConservativeMan55, are you up for doing a House version?

I propose these rules:
a. the district must be winnable in NOV.
b. the primary is expected to be close (the outcome is in doubt)
c. there is a significant difference between the candidates.

Maine-2 Bruce Poliquin is the only one that qualifies in the 6 New England states. This allows us to whittle the list down to a few dozen races nationally.

Wasn’t somebody working on this in ‘12?

[AuH2ORepublican]

Why wouldn’t Frank Guinta in NH-01 qualify under your rules? Isn’t there a significant difference between him and his opponent (gay social liberal RINO Dan Innis)? The NH-01 is certainly competitive in the general (Guinta won it in 2010 and was narrowly defeated in 2012, but he should win back what is by most measures the most Republican congressional district in New England). And Innis has been competitive in his fundraising and has quite a bit of support, even from confused conservatives (he’s one of those self-proclaimed gay Tea Partiers, don’t you know?).

[AuH2ORepublican]

Impy, don’t be so hasty. If Bevin could graduate from MIT, surely he can beat McConnell in the primary.

Oh, wait.

[campaignPete R-CT]

my sense was that Guinta will win the primary easily, but perhaps I haven’t researched it well.

“In reality, though, Innis has been a dud. He has been in the race since October and there is no urgency or sense of momentum. Guinta, his primary opponent, has been able to get away with ignoring him because everyone else is ignoring him. In a retail politics state, Innis has not been out on the hustings as he should be. He is also not raising money, and it didn’t help that his finance director left to work for Scott Brown. Innis has a name ID in the district of just 21 percent.”

Marilinda Garcia is doing well, could she beat Lambert?

[AuH2ORepublican]

“Marilinda Garcia is doing well, could she beat Lambert?”

---

I hope so, since she’d give us a better chance of winning in November (she’s attractive, energetic and a good campaigner), and she could be a star in Congress (and a potential future U.S. Senator). The NH-02 has a weaker Democrat incumbent than the NH-01, but is the less Republican of the state’s two CDs. The reason why I didn’t mention Marilinda Garcia is because I don’t think that there are huge differences between her and Lambert on the issues.

As for the Guinta-Innis matchup, I wouldn’t mail it in yet; donating to Guinta is definitely more worthwhile than most of the primary campaigns that people talk about, and if Guinta doesn’t end up having to use the money for the primary he will sure be able to use it to beat “Che” Porter in the general.
