I can tell you why IN-7 wasn’t mentioned, as Miss Ping is a desultory opponent who last reported having $0 in the bank against Carson. You can’t win with squat.

“I can tell you why IN-7 wasn’t mentioned, as Miss Ping is a desultory opponent who last reported having $0 in the bank against Carson. You can’t win with squat.”

And no one else running had much more than that.

Running a traditional campaign against Carson isn’t going to work.

He has something like $1.2Mil in the bank. and by snapping his fingers, can call on SEIU and the shadow orgs to throw another mil at him by the end of the day. The local media doesn’t DARE say a word against him, less they become unemployed.

This is going to require guerrilla campaigning. (ever heard of “Guerrilla Marketing”?). And if there was ever a year you could pull it off, it is this one.

>> BRUCE POLIQUIN, MAINE-2, JUNE 10th .... Open Seat Endorsed by: Maine Right to Life, Freedom Works FreedomWorks: "As a successful businessman with more than 30 years in the financial industry, Poliquin understands the economic problems facing America. As the State Treasurer of Maine, Poliquin saved his state 1.7 billion dollars. He believes the best way to create jobs is to substantially lower taxes and regulations. Poliquin has demonstrated the experience to lower government spending, and represents the best choice for Maine voters who believe in fiscal conservatism." Poliquin is the underdog in his race against GOP opponent Raye who has long been backed by the usual Snowe-Collins "pro-choice" crowd. Read here. <<

Interesting race. A strong pro-lifer winning a Maine House seat would be a pleasant surprise, and the best part is that Poliquin sounds favored to win in November. The “only RINOs can WIN in a district like that!!!” crowd will thus ignore the race in November.

>> ELISE STEFANIK, NEW YORK-21, JUNE 24th ... Open Seat Endorsed by: Susan B Anthony List, Conservative Party of NY, NY State Right to Life, Doug Hoffman 29-year old Elise is probably a slight favorite to beat '10 & '12 candidate Doheny. This is the famous Doug Hoffman vs. Dede Scazzafava district. <<

Has “Bold Reagan Conservative” Newt Gingrich done his part and endorsed the RINO running for the seat yet? ;-)

>> CLAUDIA TENNEY, NEW YORK-22, JUNE 24th ... Challenging incumbent Endorsed by: Susan B Anthony List, Conservative Party of NY Hanna is the 3rd most liberal Republican in Congress, a Planned Parenthood favorite. Tenney is taking him on next month in this upstate district! <<

I'm sure the usual “time for him to go/not a fighter/no incumbent deserves a pass” crowd will be ACTIVELY involved in opposing Hanna, given how much they foam at the mouth trying to get rid of people who do what we want 95% of the time. Right Mark Levin? RedState.com? Tea Party Express? Yoo woo? Anyone home? ::crickets chirp::

>> New Hampshire: FRANK GUINTA, NEW HAMPSHIRE-1, September 9th ... would face incumbent DEM Shea-Porter in NOV. Endorsed by: Pam Smith, Conservative Activist, Manchester, Bob Bird, Conservative Activist, Wolfeboro, etc. Frank Guinta -- FACEBOOK -- TWITTER -- DONATE Pro-lifer Guinta is favored to beat Republican Dan Innis, who is backed by the The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund. <<

Guinta held this seat before, so I'm glad the RINO running will likely be crushed in the primary. Plus its 2014 so Guinta will almost certainly win his seat back in November.

>> Alabama: CHAD MATHIS, ALABAMA-6, June 3rd ... 2 CONSERVATIVES trying to get into the run-off in this OPEN SEAT. Endorsed by: Club for Growth, Sen. Mike Lee, Gun Owners of America, FreedomWorks GARY PALMER, ALABAMA-6, June 3rd ... 2 CONSERVATIVES trying to get into the run-off in this OPEN SEAT. Endorsed by: Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed, Tony Perkins Conservatives Palmer and Mathis need to get into the run-off in this crowded primary. I think you will find that their opponents Brooke and DeMarco are not conservative enough for FreeRepublic, Alabama-style. <<

Looks like a win-win scenario if the run-off consists of Chad Mathis and Gary Palmer. Of course, I wouldn't put it past some conservatives to start screaming “RINO!!” at the other camp anyway. >>

>> I'm ready to add another candidate. In the multi-candidate GA-11 race, Barry Loudermilk is building a strong campaign and looks like he has a shot to get into the run-off. There is another pro-life grassroots conservative to consider, Tricia Pridemore. To me, Loudermilk looks like he has a better shot on May 20 <<

Agree that Londermilk probably has the best chance of making the runoff, and deserves our support. We have to stop Boob Barf after he lost his mind and tried to reinvent himself as a Justin Amash type Paulbot. Who knows what Barr stands for now? (I'm also for keeping his former running mate, Wayne Allyn Root, out of GOP politics. The guy used some “I'm distantly associated with Obama, therefore my candidacy will embarrass him even though I never met him” card, which Milton Wolf has also now attempted)
