Obama's numbers in OH stink, and PA isn't much better. He's hurting in FL. McCain's putting on the pressure in NH, WI, MN, IA, CO, VA and rumor has it even MI again. And McCain/Palin are just now employing their ad blitz. Life is good, and barring a major October/November surprise the lightweight Marxist has been defeated.
But we still have plenty of work to do. There are a bunch of vulnerable freshmen Dem representatives in the House. The GOP has about 20 realistic pick-up opportunities. See my list below:
AL-05
AZ-05
CA-11
GA-08
IL-14
KS-02
KY-03
LA-06
MS-01
NH-01
NH-02
NY-20
PA-07
PA-08
PA-10
PA-11
TX-22
TX-23
WI-08
And my personal favorite! PA-12 (tough, but doable thanks to Murtha the Marine smearing racist)
Details on these races (website links, voting percentages, fundraising numbers, etc.) are here spread throughout this thread.
The current count is Dems 233, GOP 202. The Pubbies unfortunately do have to defend a lot of seats due to retirement. To retake the House they'd need to basically run the table on defending those seats and win about 16 of those above pick-up opportunities. Possible, but not likely. However, a solid McCain/Palin win in this anti-incumbent environment could provide enough of a push. And just cutting into the Dems' current 31-seat lead, after months of them gloating, will be very demoralizing.
If you've been thinking about donating your time and/or money, now's the time.
Remember, this race (in my view) isn't really McCain vs. Obama, Palin vs. Biden, or even Palin vs. Obama.
It's regular America vs. the media. And I want them absolutely crushed and humiliated the night of Nov. 4th. Let's replace Chrissy Matthews' tingle down his leg with something considerably less pleasant.
From your keyboard, to God’s ears!
IR, I like your attitude this morning.

Anybody who says it is over in either direction is being way too optimistic or way too pessimistic. There is still a lot of fight in this race and nobody can let up.
GIVE TIL IT HURTS!!

Dont let the anti-americans take her down, she works very hard on the House floor, is a good conservative, has 4 children, married 30 years, has own business, has fostered 23 children.
Please give!!
Looks like the rats’ economic crisis isn’t working. It’s still about taxes, patriotism and keeping our country safe!
Irrational exuberance.
Landrieu can be beaten in Louisiana, but she's dug in like a tick on a coon hound, so it's going to take some work.
Don’t forget Michele Bachmann. She’s in trouble for questioning some of 0bama’s views, and there’s an orchestrated effort to unseat her in two weeks. You can listen to her interview from yesterday, Monday 10/20/2008 on http://www.themarklevinshow.com. She needs cash - the libs raised $2M to work against her. If you can donate anything at all, it’d be great.

Methinks this thread will get lots of posts today for it’s upbeat message.
Funny. One of us (you!) provides only emotion. The other (me) provides data. Data you don't like, which is fine. But please don't attempt to lecture me on being irrational until you yourself reach at least a beginner's level of rationality.
Apologies - I didn’t see that Michele’s info had been previously noted here.
I saw where the NRSC had recently pulled back its ads in LA, then changed their minds and went back in. I would love to see her beaten, as well as see the GOP pick up LA-06.
I think I’ll stop reading anything else right now! I need a positive start to my day for once and this is it! Great news and I love your attitude! Thanks a bunch!
