Ten days ago, Scott McAdams had a volunteer treasurer and a few thousand dollars to help him pursue the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator in Alaska. With the shocking upset victory by tea party darling Joe Miller over U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski for the Republican nomination, McAdams says volunteers and money are flowing his way. A pair of staffers from the office of U.S. Sen. Mark Begich are taking leave to assist the campaign. He has hired a spokeswoman...(continued)

Well, we can’t ask AP to help, they’re already committed to helping McAdams.

Miller is in pretty good shape for the moment. What can YOU do to help McAdams?

I am sure you could give money. But I think Miller is going to romp.

Keep Dreaming, AP.

Murkowski voters will come home.

There are enough formerly safe seats in play, that the big Dem money is going elsewhere (e.g. Boxer, Blumenthal, etc.)

What a total garbage article! They know full well that they must say things like this to INVENT that this ficticious atmosphere even exists. DemocRATS are so demoralized right now...more, they know full well that their candidate has not a snowballs chance in hell of making it but they really are hoping their dumb, welfare electorate lines up, sends money and votes for them.

You are right. Incumbant Democratic Senators will not tolerate money being spent on those not already in the club.

If Miller can hold his own, and I have absolute confidence that he can, then he can bottle up resources from the rats. The more they spend in Alaska, the less they have for other seats.

Send money. Volunteer.

But right now I have no reason to believe he isn’t going to win pretty easily so my attention will be elsewhere.

My focus is on Angle and Rubio. And *maybe* the WV Senate race.

AP, the de-facto Democratic communications arm.

The AP talks like this is Massachusetts or California where a Democrat has a chance to win a Senate race. Or they at the least think Alaska is a swing state. It’s not. This is Republican country. The Dem isn’t going to win, not even close. Begich only won the other seat because of the phonied up indictment against the late Ted Stevens.

Miller by 20+ on Election night.

This is Alaska not California.

I hope the Dems DO spend money there.

SPEND MILLIONS.

It won’t work and it’s less you have to spend on buying off politicians once you lose power.

McAdams is going to embrace the kook lefty fringe and get trounced. Conway is doing it in KY because he’s already lost the center.

NEVER give money to the NRSC again. EVER. Give directly to candidates.

I heard him on Hugh Hewitt.

All I can say is: WOW!

I would love to see him on the Judicial Committee cross-examining the next wise Latina Obowmao nominates.

So let me get this right. Paid Staffers for Begich, are working on his campaign. Does this sound screwed up to anyone else?
he has enough staffers that he doesn’t needs them, AND they are getting paid from Begich money to work on this guys campaign. Criminal in my opinion.
