When the hell is this election anyway?

I’ve read about 20 stories on it the past week or two, but none of them have mentioned the date to vote.

I hope the GOP gets into the race also... after Michael Steele gets back from his book tour.

Democrats Hit the Panic Button in Massachusetts

********************************EXCERPT******************************

Is your campaign in trouble? Attack Rush Limbaugh!

1:21 PM, Jan 12, 2010 · BY Matthew Continetti

Democrats must really be worried about the Massachusetts special election. The DNC dispatched partisan fire-breather Hari Sevugan to help with Martha Coakley's communications strategy. Coakley's in trouble because the Democratic health care bill is unpopular in Massachusetts, Democratic incumbent governor Deval Patrick is a flop, and the unemployment rate is at 8.8 percent.

The rule in politics is to change the subject when your campaign is in trouble. Sure enough, Sevugan wasted no time spilling ink in a desperate attempt to link Republican Scott Brown to Sarah Palin. In last night's debate, Coakley acted as though Brown were just a stand in for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. And a harsh new Coakley ad tried to connect Brown to Rush Limbaugh--before everyone noticed the campaign had misspelled Massachusetts in the text.

Sevugan's latest hyperpartisan missive says Brown has "made a deal with the devil" by embracing Tea Party principles of low government spending and taxation. The folks concerned about deficits, debt, regulations, spending, and taxes are "extremists" and "radicals," Sevugan says. He tries to tie Brown to Karl Rove, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and--this is not a joke--the Willie Horton campaign ad from twenty years ago. It's a haunted house of Republican goblins.

Once upon a time, Democratic scare tactics were tied to policy--Don't vote for candidate x, he'll cut Social Security and Medicare! But those were the good old days, I suppose. In the Massachusetts special election, the Coakley campaign wants to frighten Democrats into voting through a simple Pavlovian response. Every time we mention Palin, the campaign strategists must think, we'll frighten another liberal into pulling the lever for Coakley.

Brown has asked Steele and the other fumblers to stay away . The Dems will need more than money to win this one.

Sample ad:


Martha Coakley

She's not George Bush!

Scott Brown

Take Chico's soap. Never give back.

Vote Coakley: it almost rhymes with Clokey, the wonderful creator of Gumby, who just passed away!

LAUGH BREAK The White House says Pres Obama has no plans to visit Massachusetts to campaign for the Democrat seeking Kennedy's Senate seat. If she won, AG Martha Coakley would maintain the 60th vote Democrats Obama needs to prevent a filibuster of Obama's top domestic priority — health care reform.

ROTFLMCO Ohaha's not going to MA b/c he got lacerated when he showed up numerous times in NJ last Nov and saw the Dim go down to defeat. Ohaha was electorally castrated when he invested time, money and WH resources in NJ. The NJ race was considered a "squeaker" that would go on till all hours. But two hours after the polls closed, the Repub was declared the winner with a comfortable 4-point margin (would have been higher were it not for Dem voter fraud).

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Nov 2009 elections clipped the wings of Obama's plans for a permanent Democratic realignment. NJ and Va gubernatorial candidates---the only two 2009 statewide races---won Independents by a 2-1 margin, (66%-33% and 60%-30%, respectively); McCain lost Independents in each state to Obama a year earlier.

========================================

THE OBAMA SLAPDOWN Ohaha was heavly invested in the 2009 NJ gubernatorial race. His carefully-laid plans for installing a permanent Dem majority went haywire. Pulling out all the stops made Ohaha a VERY good target for voters disgusted with Ohaha’s policies.

OBAMA WAS DESPERATE FOR NJ's CORZINE TO WIN. The NY Times reported:
(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was screened by Obama's WH team.
(b) Corzine's aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions,
(e) White House operatives were orchestrating obscure pep rallies with Latinos (kept secret from voters),
(f) Ohaha campaigned in the state three times, Biden was there twice.
(g) Ohaha TV ads ran relentlessly in costly NY media markets.
(h) The crooked NJ Democrat Machine was also running at warp speed.

Other pertinent facts:

>> Incumbent Dem Jon Corzine (the wealthy loser) outspent the Repub winner about 4-1.
>> New Jersey has a huge Democratic registration.
>> Corzine bragged he had 20,000 paid union helpers on the ground election day to get out the vote.
>> There was a third party candidate siphoning off Republican votes.
>> Corzine had the power of incumbency.
>> Corzine had the power of a crooked Democrat Machine cooking the vote.
>> Ohaha hid $17.5 BILLION stimlulus in New Jersey.....for Corzine's reelection campaign.

And still Corzine lost decisively.

I sure wish Ohaha would show up in MA. ROTFLMCO.
