SOLVING THE GREAT PUSH POLL MYSTERY Push polls are to civilized political campaigns what terrorism is to international diplomacy. I have talked to many people in the Republican party about this push poll against Len Munsil, and they are very angry. I got one of the push poll calls myself, and it was obviously designed to make Goldwater look good and start a rumor campaign to make Len Munsil look bad. It was not only an attack on the candidate, Len Munsil, but also on his wife and eldest child, and that is unacceptable to people with any sense of...

You guys should check this group out. I met one of their members out in Ohio working with a congressional candidate.

LITTLE ROCK (AP) -- Asa Hutchinson and his supporters took a campaign mailing by Lt. Gov. Win Rockefeller as their cue to fire the first major salvos in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary campaign. A major Rockefeller campaign mailing repeatedly emphasized the billionaire lieutenant governor's anti-abortion bona fides, and Hutchinson, a former congressman and Homeland Security undersecretary, responded by saying Rockefeller was trying to shift away from his previous support for abortion rights

2004 US Senate Elections These are the states I am watching: Florida: I believe that Martinez will help Bush here. I think Cubans that are having doubts about Bush will support him when they vote for Martinez. I think most Hispanics would like to have Martinez representing them and that will push him past Castor. Castor comes off very old and too loyal to the “party.” And she is in real trouble when she has to explain about how she handled the “terrorist professor” when she was the president of USF. She has been around in politics for over ten...

Poll shows Lincoln's lead now at 54% to 40%, also shows Bush pulling ahead and Vic Snyder beginning to slip.

Gannett Fails One-Newspaper Communities/Counties- Port Huron Times Herald a Queue for Government Intervention? In particular, with today’s concentration of all reporting medium with just a few companies- who determines the void or lack of reporting in the best interest to citizens. I’ve challenged a Gannett newspaper, the Times Herald of Port Huron Michigan of its obligation citizens in one-newspaper counties. There appears to be an immediate need to make certain legislation be brought requiring corporate newspapers to better report news and serving the communities they cover. At a crucial time with the 2004 Primary literally days away- this particular newspaper,...

I just got back last week from driving across the country, I live in Washington State and drove to PA in see my wifes family and took I-80 and I-90 back home. With my Bush/Cheney sticker from 2000 in my back window along with my W-04 sticker I got a aproviel rating of about 75% judging from the honks and thumbs ups from fellow drivers. Funny how I got the 1 finger salute from the folks with the Kerry stickers. My question to you is do you vent your hate and anger at fellow drivers on the road with a...

Last night, I was told that a report was recently published by some DC think-tank. This report ranked members of congress in order of taxpayer-friendliness, i.e. it examined their votes on tax-related bills and determined where any particular member of congress came in on higher or lower taxes for their constituents. The same person who told me about the report told me that a whopping 75% of house and senate members from my state were in the top 20 LEAST friendly to taxpayers in their voting records. Have any of you heard of this report? Can you point me to...

Journalists, political pundits and other Hysteric Left activists are desperately trying to spin some cosmic significance out of Sunday's Spanish elections. The "conventional wisdom" is that the Spanish Election results are some sort of significant defeat for President Bush and the War on Terror. As usual the "News Media's" thinking is neither conventional nor wise. What all the various activists miss is the reality of American Exceptionalism. As much as the International Political Left hates, and try's to deny, the reality is the USA operates on a completely different political level then the rest of the world. On Sunday, the...

The reason for my apology was that throughout this primary season we have been hearing about the record turnout of voters participating in Democrat caucuses and primaries. I bought the lie. The truth is that, except for Iowa and New Hampshire, there has not been any sort of record turnout for the Democrats. Even in New Hampshire the vote was far less than what the Republicans had when they last had a contested primary in 2000. The Democrats this year had 219,787 votes in their primary. The GOP in 2000 had 239,523 votes. That 20,000 difference is major in a...

http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/6/121052.shtml Well isn't this intresting. The "objective news media" supposed 9-11 surviors protesting Bush's ads are actually anti-war stooges financed by John Kerry's wife. Please take a moment and vist the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC etc to email the Omsbudsman, the Publisher, the News Editor and demand to know why they allowed clearly partisan advocates of Kerry's Presidential Campaign were presented on their "News" programs with no reference to their ties to the Kerry camp. We absolutely must demand the "News Media" be held accountable for their free advertising for the Kerry camp.

http://www.georgewbush.com/tvads/ Here is a link to the 1st three Bush Re-election ads. As expected the DNC directed its "Objective News Media" mouthpieces at CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC to generate phoney hysteria about these ads. Compared to the demogagery and lies spread by the Kerry Campaign, Moveon.org and the DNC about Bush for the last 6 months, this is probably the mildest sets of ads that have run so far this political season. Please email this link to every person on you email contact list. We need to get as many people as possible to see these ads. They are...

Conservatives should write in Tom Tancredo in the primary ballot to demonstrate the depth of concern we have with the President. If enough do this, he will get the message.

State Sen. Jim Holt, R-Springdale, will run for the U.S. Senate, making the second challenge Sen. Blanche Lincoln has faced from a conservative Christian state senator from Northwest Arkansas. Holt said voters would support his candidacy because of "the continuing loss of our freedom, especially our religious freedom." Two recent examples, he said, are the removal of an inscription of the Ten Commandments from an Alabama court building and a federal court ruling that the phrase "under God" was not a constitutional part of the Pledge of Allegiance. "The executive and legislative branches of government are supposed to check and...

WASHINGTON -- Little Rock businessman Tom Formicola is exploring a bid to challenge Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., in next year's election. Formicola, 44, a health care executive and former Maumelle alderman, said Thursday he has met with prominent Republicans in Washington to gauge his chances of ousting Lincoln. "I'm still testing the waters," Formicola said. "I'm in the process of drumming up support from state and national Republicans." Formicola said he has filed exploratory paperwork with the Secretary of the Senate and would announce his candidacy in early December, if he chooses to run. Formicola joins former Benton County sheriff...

Governor Mike Huckabee said Wednesday he would not challenge Senator Blanche Lincoln, leaving Arkansas Republicans without a high-profile Senate candidate for 2004.

Last cycle, much of the action in Senate races took place in the Midwest, with competitive races in Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota and Missouri ultimately deciding which party would control the chamber. This cycle, the South is the scene of many of the significant races, and that’s terrible news for the Democrats, who continue to lose ground in a region that once constituted their party’s bedrock. In addition to Georgia Sen. Zell Miller (D), who has already announced he won’t seek re-election, at least four other Southern Democrats may well retire: Sens. Fritz Hollings (S.C.), John Edwards (N.C.), Bob Graham...

LITTLE ROCK — Fifty years to the day after his famous father came to Arkansas and later became governor, Lt. Gov. Win Rockefeller said Monday that he also is considering a run for the state’s top office. “We will see; I have given it some thought, and it is something that I am definitely thinking about,” Rockefeller said of the 2006 governor’s race. “My family and I need to talk about it to really have a good grasp to see if that is something we might do, and if so, to do it in the right way.” Rockefeller revealed his...

Tuesday was a massacre for the democrats. They had no message and the polling was horrible. I have always been skeptical about polls and it appears that most of the pre-election polls were off. So why did the republicans do so well? George Bush deserves much of the credit, but let's not forget about the great candidates we had. 90% od our candidates were experienced and did well in their debates. The democrats did have a message. It was "no" to whatever being asked. The get nothing done senate was another reason. No bills and no judges were coming out...

Tim Hutchinson said his campaign had nothing to do with the allegation, although Chad Colby (State GOP) said a woman answering the telephone at Hutchinson headquarters Sunday took detailed notes from an anonymous caller and passed the information along to the GOP committee, which contacted news organizations Sunday.

Posted at: 11:45 p.m. CDT, November 3, 2002 Updated at: 5:00 p.m. CDT, November 4, 2002 JONESBORO, Ark. -- Attorney General Mark Pryor blasted the state Republican Party, claiming the engaged in dirty politics with the release of information that Pryor had hired a Mexican immigrant to perform housekeeping duties. The controversy began with a report on the the Drudge Report Web site of Internet gossip columnist Matt Drudge.

Arkansas Judge curbs vote of college students People who live in Clark County temporarily to attend college can’t vote in the Nov. 5 election, according to a circuit judge’s ruling Tuesday that was widely denounced by figures from both major political parties.

By Audrey Hudson Arkansas Democrats are trying to steal the Senate election by registering dead people and businesses to vote, illegally allowing early voting on weekends and not requiring identification to vote, Republicans said yesterday. At least six dead people tried to register to vote, including one helped by a person also listed on campaign-spending reports as having received $100 by the state Democratic party, said Marty Ryall, Republican Party chairman. "I can understand why they needed assistance," Mr. Ryall said. People who aid others registering to vote are required to sign the paperwork as well. Another person, who helped...

We are a little over two weeks away from the election. So I ask you the same question I asked myself. Who is going to win the battle for the senate? I have done extensive research and watched the trends for a while now, just like many of you. I finished a week ago a statistical analysis of voting trends in Georgia. Let me also state that most elections are referendums on the incumbents. Candidates have to expose the incumbent. Dole failed to do this in 1996. So here are my predictions. GA- Max Cleland is in trouble. Do not...

Mike Huckabee’s lead over opponent Jimmie Lou Fisher is up slightly in a new poll conducted for Stephens Media Group’s Arkansas News Bureau, although the pollster points out that the numbers are essentially the same as a month ago. The poll, conducted by Opinion Research Associates of Little Rock, shows Huckabee is favored by 51 percent of respondents while Fisher is the choice of 42 percent. An August poll by the same company showed Huckabee, a Republican, with 49 percent support, to 42 percent for Fisher, a Democrat....
