Christine O’Donnell: Why isn’t the NRSC doing more to help me?

[Psalm 144]

“I will not bet against your analysis. Scott Brown is turning out to be a giant brown stain.”

Not disputing that he is a disappointment if measured as a conservative, but measured as the replacement for Kennedy, he is indisputably an improvement.

I too am heartily tired of compromise, but sometimes and in some places it is all that can be achieved. Massachusetts is one of those places. In Delaware we still have a shot.

[Psalm 144]

Love your post #64.

Agree on all points, each and every one.

[who knows what evil?]

Rasmussen shows Christine down by a mere 11%...wonder where she would be right now if the establishment shills like Rove and Krauthammer had kept their pieholes shut?

[who knows what evil?]

Because she’s down by 20 points and resources aren’t infinite?

Rasmussen says she's down 11%, AllahRino...who are YOU working for?

[Psalm 144]

Exactly. The Tea Party will be fighting BOTH machines, for a long time and at every level.

I am sickened that they are allowing Gingrich to grandstand. A bad move which they will come to regret.

Your post outlines the logic that Brown and Romney will use to paint Palin as being un-electable.

Palin would be smart to write off Massachusetts right off the bat from an Electoral College aspect and paint Romney-Brown as too liberal for a national GOP ticket.

If she dismisses Romney-Brown as “Massachusetts Republicans” who are too liberal and out of touch with the majority of Republicans in the rest of the U.S., it will be very effective in blunting their attacks.

She can also call into question the motives and intentions of Rove, Schmitt, Coulter and Company in why they are supporting a “Massachusetts Republican” who is out of touch with the majority of the grassroots Republicans across our country.

1976
Jimmy Carter (D) vs Gerald Ford (R)
Poll predictions: Carter +15 over Ford
Election results: Carter +2.1 over Ford
Bias error: 12.9 points in favour of Democrats

1980
Jimmy Carter (D) vs Ronald Reagan (R)
Poll predictions: Carter +3 over Reagan
Election results: Reagan +10 over Carter
Bias error: 13 points in favour of Democrats

1984
Walter Mondale (D) vs Ronald Reagan (R)
Poll predictions: Reagan +4, +9 or +13 over Carter
Election results: Reagan +18.8 over Mondale
Bias error: 14.8, 9.8 or 5.8 points in favour of Democrats

1988
Michael Dukakis (D) vs George H.W. Bush (R)
Poll predictions: Bush +5 over Dukakis
Election results: Bush +7.8 over Dukakis
Bias error: 2.8 points in favour of Democrats

1992
Bill Clinton (D) vs George H.W. Bush (R)
Poll predictions: Clinton +15 or +12 over Bush
Election results: Clinton +5.3 over Bush
Bias error: 9.7 or 6.7 points in favour of Democrats

1996
Bill Clinton (D) vs Bob Dole (R)
Poll predictions: Clinton +22 over Dole
Election results: Clinton +9 over Dole
Bias error: 13 points in favour of Democrats

2000
Al Gore (D) vs George W. Bush (R)
Poll predictions: Gore +6 over Bush
Election results: Bush over Gore by a slight margin
Bias error: 6 points in favour of Democrats

So she wins by one percent at 11 points down is the way I see it.

Elitists circling the wagons around Mike Castle, even in defeat....wholly predictable

[9YearLurker]

Why do you see Brown as such a threat? Sure, he’ll back Romney but I don’t think he’s the type to play anyone’s attack dog.

[Wissa]

But Coons is polling above 50%. Even if all the undecideds swing to O’Donnell, she wouldn’t win.

People aren't elected by a telephone poll. They're elected by people that drag themselves away from the TV long enough to go out and vote.

[Psalm 144]

I don’t disagree with you at the national level. The New England tail has wagged the American dog for far too long. Centuries, in fact.

If Romney is the GOP candidate in 2012, Obama will be reelected with a plurality percentage somewhere in the 30s.

Romney will come in third, behind someone running as an independent. Anyone.

[EternalVigilance]

Romney and his wealthy supporters have bought pretty much the entire Republican establishment, including most of those national organizations with “Christian” or “conservative” labels on the package.

The only question left is whether they will stay bought.

[EternalVigilance]

Christine O’Donnell is simply the latest victim of the Republican Party charade. Other conservative candidates have been experiencing the exact same thing for more than a decade.

The formerly grand old party expends huge resources to try and nominate the most liberal candidate possible in the primary. If they succeed, they expect conservatives to vote against their own consciences. If they fail at the primary level, they continually undercut and financially starve the conservative nominee.

Same game, different election cycle.

[Psalm 144]

The GOP has always been a creature of New England, IMHO. I do not think it can be reformed, although I am willing to support the efforts.

Romney was the GOP machine choice last time too, and if anything he will be a weaker candidate this time, because he is a better known one and his record is cheesy and compromised. They will push him as an economic genius, of course.

Hard to say. I do know he will not get my vote. I strained so hard to vote for McCain that something internal snapped, and I will never make that level of compromise again. It is just not worth it.

He should mention that the DSCC has spent over $635,000 on this race, Over $160,000 in each of the last two weeks (per Open Secrets).

The RSCC, I believe, has spent about $50,000.

Just for perspective.

[Diogenesis]

Romney used his picture with the NRSC and the letter below
to raise millions of dollars.
It is no surprise he kept it for himself and Soros.

Mitt Romney: "Dear Supporter,
The Democrats will stop at nothing to cling to power in the U.S. Senate this year.
In addition to the millions of dollars President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
.... Even the smallest contribution can help. The NRSC is less than 24 hours away
from the last end of the quarter deadline before the election. They need your support
now if they are going to reach their fundraising goals.
Please make a donation now of $25, $50, $100 or even $250.
Thank you for all the support you have given to this point. I am certain that with your help,
the NRSC and Republican candidates will be able to have the resources
to take the fight to the Democrats this November.
Sincerely, Mitt Romney"

Is anyone surprised that Romney has welched on the woman candidate
whom his henchmen attacked? (SSDD).

[B Knotts]

Allahpundit, being a Romney shill, doesn’t seem to comprehend what she’s saying. It’s simple: it’s not the size of the lead, it’s the ease of moving the numbers. Coons seems to be a Coakley-type candidate, in that his numbers are soft, and could easily be moved with an aggressive infusion of campaign money.

But, the establishment RINOs won’t do that, because they don’t want her elected.

[RoadTest]

““I’ve had to fight my party to be here on this stage to win the nomination, and to some extent I am still fighting my party.”…

But when this reporter asked O’Donnell herself how she is fighting her own party, the Republican nominee was ready to cite chapter and verse. Tthe Democratic senatorial committee is running ads against me. The Democratic Party is running ads against me,” she said. “The Republican Party on the state level, or on the national level, neither have come in to help me close the gap in the polls. And my opponent, there’s so much to attack him on, yet the NRSC refuses to play, and that, that baffles me. Because he’s a – he’s a sitting duck. There’s a lot to go after him [on”

The dirty “secret’ is the thRepublican party has been co-opted by the New World Order, too. I hesitate to say that at this time because we need to elect Conservative Republicans who are running against the good ol’ boy establishment, the old, hoary GOP organization that refuses to support great candidates like Ms. O’Donnel because they (the establishment dinosaurs) in bed with the Demonrat Ruling Establishment.

Please go out and vote November 2nd for every Republican candidate thay’s conservative and if you elect a few old guard Republicans along with them, that will still be better than electing Democrats, because today Democrat is another word for Communist.

But Coons is polling above 50%. Even if all the undecideds swing to O’Donnell, she wouldn’t win.

You are forgetting two things: first, people change their minds. Second, and much more importantly, many of those "50%" will not show up. By all accounts, the Democrats are having a terrible time trying convince their voters to get out and vote.

In this race, even more than most, turnout is the key.
