Good, we can get some decent obstruction again in the minority...instead of utter compliance with the left.
I want as many of the Democrats in R jerseys, like Murkowski and McCain, to lose as is possible. I’d prefer they be primaried and conservative Republicans replace them, but if not, I’m good with real Democrats replacing them.
Cook may be right. I fully expect my ballot in November to be:
President: Hillary Clinton vs Jeb Bush
Senate: John McCain vs Mark Kelly (Mr Gabby Giffords)
34 Senators who’s terms expire in 2016 (10D and 24R)

Is there any way we can help the Dems in AZ retire McCain?
2016 depends on freepers, TeaPartiers, Moral Majority/Christian Coalition types. 2016 depends on us.
In every election many people do not vote. Of those who do vote, many are not highly motivated to vote. None of the candidates excites them. They only vote because their neighbor asked them to register and vote; or their friend at church or work asked them to register to vote and work. Even among those who are motivated to vote, many have moved since last registered to vote and are no longer registered. ..and won’t be unless someone motivates them to get registered.
That’s where we come in. If we work the precincts, get people registered to vote and get them to the polls then we will win in 2016. We have to out-ground game the Dems in 2016 to win.
Yes it also helps to have candidates right on the issues, with charisma, and no foot-in-mouth disease. But above all else, GOTV will be most important in 2016.
No, it doesn’t.
Fueling the rumor machine about a possible Johnson vs Feingold rematch for 2016.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
The Senate will go to whomever wins the Presidency in 2016.
