If you have no dough, contribute time walking precincts, manning phone banks, getting out the vote, encouraging Republicans to vote absentee if they can't be sure of getting to the polls.

This is going to be the most vicious three weeks you have ever seen. And we need to be in the fight. The appeals court and the Supreme Court hang in the balance.

Ooops, Wellstone is D-MN.

Good info, good post. You might want to check out TakeBackCongress.org, where a lot of this information is stored and updated regularly.

For those interested, this site also has a lot of practical suggestions about how you can help in this election. So act today. Good intentions don't win elections. Actions do.

I'm in Colorado. Strickland's ads are already vicious. But I suspect they will get worse.

No doubt the next three weeks will be absolutely awful.

I just pray the stock market stays semi-ok.....would be nice to have a couple rallies like today and yesterday in the next several weeks instead of a constant drop.

Here is an update on the OK Senate race where Senator Inhofe leades 55% to 31% over the Ex-RAT, Crooked Governor Walters:

Alexander Calls Goose on Walters' Childish Duck Count, Democrat Henry Real Dodger

Oklahoma City - Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Chad Alexander today issued the following statement regarding the antics of the Democrat candidates for U.S. Senate and Governor:

"David Walters' childish duck count, accusing Inhofe of dodging debates is completely preposterous. The accusation of game-playing should be thrown only to Daschle and the Democrat Senate for their relentless arguing against the Homeland Security bill and the war with Iraq. If these items weren't being held up in the Senate, Inhofe would be able to come home and campaign.

Senator Inhofe will be participating in three debates with Walters before November 5th. The first two debates will be held on Monday, October 21st, with a radio debate hosted by the downtown Kiwanis and KRMG radio scheduled for 12:00 noon in Tulsa and a televised debate hosted by KFOR TV in Oklahoma City at 6:30pm that evening. A third debate, hosted by KJRH TV, KFAQ radio, and the Tulsa World, is schedule for Wednesday, October 23rd.

Because the Senate is currently in session and will possibly be in session as late as the end of October, time restraints have limited Senator Inhofe's campaign time in Oklahoma.

But, since Walters and the Democrat party want to complain about attendance, they should look first at their gubernatorial candidate. Brad Henry has missed seven of the last 13 candidate forums. Henry should start showing up at forums -- we wouldn't want his attendance as a candidate to be as bad as his attendance record in the state Senate.

Jay Parmley is being a hypocrite when accusing Inhofe of not agreeing to debates when his own gubernatorial candidate has not been attending forums. Unlike Sen. Inhofe, Brad Henry has no reason to not be at these debates because the Oklahoma Legislature is not in session. Is Henry scared, or running from something? Where are his priorities?

The Democrat Party should look first at its own candidates before accusing Inhofe of 'ducking.' Inhofe should be credited for prioritizing his duties as our Senator before his duties as a candidate. While David Walters has a life-size duck costume attending his appearances, Senator Inhofe is participating in the debate on Homeland Security and the potential war with Iraq. Consider the source."

Want to remember people if they don't have a Senate race up for grabs to please get involved in their Congressional races. Can state from experience that Congressional races need a lot of help. We have some key Congressional races the DemocRATs are targeting like the 4th District here in Oklahoma where fortunately Tom Cole, the Republican candidate, for J.C.'s seat is ahead in the polls. We are taking nothing forgranted nor is the State GOP Party -- not going to let up on any front. Vice President Cheney will be in our district this Tuesday for Tom Cole for Congress.

Our new head of the Oklahoma GOP, Chad Alexander, is a winner and best thing that has happened to OK IMO! The OK GOP office is giving us tons of support in Tom Cole for Congress campaign!

Nice job on the posting. I'd like to put it up on the Quote of the Day page if that's ok with you?

Paul Wellstone is Minnisota, not Wisconsin . . and he's gotta. Paul Wellstone voted against the United States.

I thought I just saw on another post that Thune is up 5% points now in SD. Here it has him trailing?

I wish the election was this coming Tusday...

Thanks for all your good. We MUST GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!

Several members of the Wall Street Journal editorial board tonight on their TVcast opined that "things aren't going so well for Lautenberg in New Jersey" - said that after he got an initial bump, his numbers had fallen off - they split as to whether they thought Lautenberg would eventually win, but there's hope.......

[ThePythonicCow]

Dang - that map is tight.

We take one from them (Minn), they take one from us (Ark), and five too close to call (NH, NJ, Missouri, SD and Colo).

[Theodore R.]

This may be a very accurate map projecting the Senate races. I am still unsure if MN will elect a Republican to the Senate though it has done so a few times since the death of St. HHH. I was unsurprised to see the projection that the Democrat will win in AR. Tim Hutchinson's "family values" simply won't sell even in the land of AR Bill. And Ron Kirk may still have a chance in TX despite the lopsided poll (unlike the others) that came out this week showing a huge Cornyn lead. So, it will be a very tough fight to elect a bare Republican majority. What is depressing too is that there are no races at all where an upset is in the making. There used to be an upset in one or two places, but now it's all programmed in advance. Does anyone see a Republican winner that is now unexpected? There are very slim pickings out there. Also I was under the impression that Gordon Smith in liberal OR is very vulnerable.

[Theodore R.]

Really, Hutchinson should have not sought reelection. He opens up the charge that the Democrats love to hurl: hypocrisy. The AR Demos will say that at least "their" Bill stayed married and did not break up "his family." What is the real story about Hutchinson's divorce? I don't think it has been told!!!! And IN PART because of Hutchinson's personal failings, AR will now have two liberal senators come Jan. 3.

I got a call this afternoon from a woman from NARAL with a foreign accent asking me to vote for Jean Carnahan. I yelled at her that Mrs. Carnahan is the lousiest senator in the chamber and she didn't serve to be there to begin with. The girl was shocked. In the meantime, I felt better.

This poll info is a little disturbing--looks like we could lose 4 Republican seats--AR, NH, TX, and CO-- and I thought there were more recent polls showing improvement for Hutchinson as well as Sununu leading strong and TX looking very good.

Given the Senate vote and the lateness of the date, when will the next round of polls come out?
