“It is really difficult to beat an incumbent.”

Yes it is. But in the last several years, we took out Arlen Specter, Bob Bennett, Richard Lugar and made Lisa Murkowski fight for her political life.

There are now eight republicans with primary challengers. We might not win them all, but we will win some! And those that remain will be on notice, and will be forced to vote conservative for two or four years if they want to keep their seats.

It’s not always about removing an incumbent. That would be great, but it’s also about putting pressure on these oligarchs, and to remind them that they answer to the people.

This topic lead to my new tagline, not that the old one was outdated...lol (The Tea Party was the earthquake, and Chick Fil A the tsunami...100's of aftershocks to come.)
