A poll released Friday by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research confirms the Republican ticket’s lead in the statewide Virginia races. Focusing on the two down-ticket slots -- Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General -- Mason-Dixon found the GOP candidates leading in almost all areas of the state

Down to the final days. It’s get out the vote time. The election is a toss-up in blue Fairfax County. We have a chance to win that one and pick up some down-ticket House of Delegate races.

This and NY 23 are great news. I’m almost tempted to go over to DU to check the reaction there.

Way to go out on a limb MD. Maybe the NJ race would be more of interest.

It now appears probable that the Republicans will take at least two out of the three nationally regarded races and have a better than even chance of winning the third. The 23rd district in New York, the gubernatorial contests in Virginia and New Jersey could all go to the Republicans (unless one considers Hoffman's probable victory the 23rd district of New York as a conservative victory).

This has undoubted implications for Obama and Pelosi's healthcare "reform." It should put the fear of God into many Blue Dogs. It will reinforce reluctant Democrat Senators and it vindicates Joe Lieberman. It also has implications for Cap and Trade in the Senate and makes it much more difficult for Obama to complete his Marxist coup of the whole American economy.

It has significant implications for the governing of the Republican Party. It leaves Rep. Pete Sessions and former Speaker Newt Gingrich both looking damned foolish. Worse, they look out of touch. They simply do not understand the electoral landscape of America today-although one suspects they will be learning fast. This has tremendous implications for funding and for the momentum of the Tea Party Movement.

I have preached long and often on these threads that the Republican Party must be reformed and that it cannot win if he does not accommodate The Tea Party Movement. Equally, The Tea Party Movement will succeed only in electing Democrats if it does not align itself with the Republican Party. A 21st-century election campaign throughout 50 states is too vast, too complicated, and too expensive to be accomplished by a bunch of well-meaning, overweight, middle-aged, suburbanite, middle-class, patriotic, Americans. They need the apparatus of the Republican Party because that professionalism, fund-raising ability, mailing list, ground game, national coordination, is absolutely indispensable if we are to have a hope of doing battle with the juggernaut being prepared for us by the Democrats. Just consider how many fundraisers Obama has already attended.

Essentially, this is a call for both groups to come together and accommodate each other and for God sake act as patriots!
