No Palin endorsement?
She’s too busy dealing with the flak from her endorsement of McCain.
Starwise, your ping list is required. Thank you!!! ; )
I’m believing for an upset victory for Hughes.
Thanks Falcon28.
“No Palin endorsement?”
Considering Palin endorses McCain, I’m willing to bet she’d endorse Ryan over Hughes.
I meant Kirk....(don’t know why I was thinking Ryan)
Finally a true conservative.
Don’t live in this state, but contributed to his campaign. Conservatives need to do that as much as possible to help true conservatives beat the Country Clubbers!
Okay. How much are we betting?
We need to spread the word Fast about Patrick Hughes. Another full court press this last week, just like Scott Brown. Is there a telephone tree? A "money bomb" day? C'mon Patriots, we did it with Brown, we can do it with Hughes. He looks and sounds like a Good Conservative Candidate! February 2nd fast approaching!
From his site Here "If you agree with Patrick that it is time to "Take It Back" and are ready for the America our founding fathers envisioned, pledge your support with a donation of $17.76."
Spread the Word! Another Obama Smackdown in the Works!!
Remember the Goal! No Democrat Winner, November 2, 2010!!
Holy Conservative, Batman! He has my blessing. FReepers, you may vote for this man. ;)
