Good article......PING
Fred Barnes is one of my heros!!...He is SO PASSIONATE everyday on Fox, Im always heartened by everything he says.....Mr Mort is a Liberal but a good hearted one, who is so honest and tells it like it is, MOSTLY :)) I never miss their "The Beltway Boys"
And a 12th, Wisconsin, where Tim Michels came off a big primary win about 6-10 points behind Feingold and is running a hard-hitting campaign against Saint Russ.
"The bad news for him is that Bush is running only slightly ahead of Kerry in Colorado and Salazar is a proven vote-getter. But if Bush improves, Coors may as well."
This article reads like the daily racing forum, it makes me want to go to the track!
This is better than the NFL.
This is a good analysis of the Senate races.
He's a little too confident about Louisiana for my taste, though... Chris John has Breaux's endorsement and though I'm not from Louisiana, I thought that what Breaux says pretty much goes. I'm not confident that we can beat him in a straight-up race, especially in December when we won't have President Bush on the top of the ballot.
And I'll add that Coburn may benefit from Carson going extremely negative in Oklahoma. I saw a Carson ad last night that was childish in how anti-Coburn it was.
The doctor may benefit from it, IMO.
There is the other thing going for Republicans. We've been listening to the Bush haters like Michale Moore and Kennedy for so long we are pissed as hell. We are going to the polls no matter how absolutely certain we are Bush is going to win. The Democrats are totally demoralized and will in many cases simply pretend it all never happened, and stay home. It happened with Reagan and Carter.
I like Fred Barnes but methinks he is being a tad bit optimistic here. Hope not but afraid so.
Question is, how many Ron Silvers, Sept 11 democrats are going to vote Republican this year. This could be why the democrats are worried.
" This is another state Bush will win handily. To help Thune, it better be a landslide."
Notice that even though Thune is ahead 3 in the polls that the article says bush better win by a 'landslide' to help him... this likely refers to expected democrat vote-fraud :-/
There is little foundation for Barnes optimism beyond wishful thinking.
Kerry is doomed, I have no doubt. But I just don't see coattails happening on these very close senate races, it could very easily go the other way for us.
Donating across the country today to BurrforSenate. I encourage other Freepers to find one of these GOP candidates to help out.
I think the presidential election could be called early when Fl, OH and PA get announced which could depress democrat turnout in western races such as WA, OK, SD, etc.
This makes kerrys new and improved 1970s version of his 2004 self more and more a desperation move.
It smacks more of shoring up the base 30+days out rather than expanding his base. not good.
This would doom congressional Democrats all across the West....and it would make for a great night.
Yes....but not better than college football.
Go Fred!
Go Dawgs!
That's what I'm afraid of too.
Vitter needs to crack 50% on Primary Day.
If he doesn't, the defeated Dems will coalesce around their remaining candidate.
