Keep working, people. Keep giving. Keep making those calls and pounding the pavement.
She's no Jim DeMint, but she's not a "total" RINO, either.
I certainly hope so.
Other polls suggest a closer race.
We may not win this one.
Maybe, maybe not. I would not underestimate Rick Scott.
That is a foolish reading of the Florida gov race.
Bill McCollum has been around forever and just doesn't excite people. His campaign message was, I'm an establishment candidate and it's my turn to run. Rick Scott came along and said, I'm a businessman with ideas and I will fix the business climate to create jobs.
Rick Scott will win.
Yes, she is no DeMint, but I too would vote for her. Still, she is a closer kin to Schwarzenegger and if elected will probably give us fits. Just so there is no illusion here.
I am shocked at how stable these numbers are for the GOP. Toomey has had a lead and sat on it all summer. Very unusual for the Repub in PA. Angle is doing well against an incumbent with boat loads of cash. Ohio seemed lost a few years ago. This is good news.
I am in Nashville...I warned ya’ll about Scott and got the usual warm response from cult of personality types.
And everyone PROMISED Fiorina could beat Boxer which is why Sarah endorsed her over a harder conservative....I sure hope she does in any event...it’s within grasp no doubt and a big generic GOP turnout could make it happen.
Glad to see Rubio smacking that silver turd.
Whitman?...another social lib GOP in Sacramento to shame the rest of us as neandethals...big deal....slightly better than a Dem.
Kasich....I did not even know he was running....never really liked his manner
Angle better get moving...if in this shite ecomony...and 1% is all she can do in a once GOP state till all the Kali and NE folks moved in...is pretty discouraging
Toomey has a nice lead....that is great.
The outright hatred for Carly is deep in California's tech community, and will continue to damage what was an emerging GOP "independent small business" image.
The California RINOs (Gerry Parsky, Pete Wilson, et al.) have done it again, re-binding GOP and "big business" in the public mind, despite the fact that the truly gargantuan corporate wealth supports accruing socialism. Buying government influence has always been a lower risk than making real investments (hence K Street). The only antidote is limiting Federal powers to fix the game with regulations.
We are going to have to give a lot of money to these tea party people...the GOP does not want them..
There is NO way that I can vote for Rick Scott. He is a felon...excluded from Medicare for fraud. He is one of the main problems with health care today. He has opened a shoddy chain of urgent care centers in Florida where they play retail instead of health care. He is the poster child of why medical professionals instead of business people should run healthcare.
I will sit out the governor election here in Florida because I cannot bring myself to vote for a lying, thieving, fraud committing weasel like Rick Scott, and if that means Sink wins, so be it. Some votes are more than holding your nose, they are a matter of conscience...
Foolish? Scott is trailing by 8.
Where my frustration lies is -- in Nevada (Senate), potetially Delaware (Senate), potentially NH (Senate) and Florida (Gov), we had a very strong likelihood of wins, and -- while I don't like RINOs anymore than anyone else -- the quest for ideological purity seems to be putting those chances of a huge victory in November in jeopardy. I just don't want a generational opportunity blown by overreaching, that's all.
I hope and pray to God it all works out well.
I don't necessarily agree he's a felon without a trial, but your point is well-taken. A lot of voters are going to feel the same way about Scott. While Bill McCollum doesn't exactly light anyone up, he doesn't have the kind of baggage Scott has.
unfortunately, we jettisoned our AG, a champion of battling Obamacare at the state level, for a corrupt no-name guy. This doesn’t come down to ideological purity, because McCollum was plenty conservative. It was an anti-politician thing. also, frankly, the better campaigner won the primary with a better message. The Dems are going to have a field day with the medicare scams by Rick Scott.
Scott is trailing by 8 in one poll -- and your post claimed that he won on ideological purity, which is baloney.

You're lumping in a bunch of different races with different dynamics. You've been reading too much liberal spin or something. Angle won in Nevada because Harry Reid helped Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian beat each other up, and the TPE funded Angle to a late burst without any sort of negative scrutiny. NH may be similar, with Ovide getting no primary scrutiny; we'll see. Delaware is not about purity, 90% vs 99% conservative, there's a huge ideological gulf. And as I explained, Florida gov wasn't fundamentally about ideology.
“California: Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) edges Carly Fiorina (D) in the U.S. Senate race, 46% to 44%.”
Lol. The accidental truth.
Good Post!
