Go Tom, he could be one of the biggest surprises of the Year. Running under the Constitution Party banner and coming from behind to catch Hickenlooper.

If you read this and don't bomb on Friday a puppy in the Appalachians might die, or not but that's besides the point, it's the right the to do! Don't be a dweeb, it will hurt your career!

Bill Hudak has a fundraising moneybomb going on. He is a Republican running for the 6th District in MA against incumbent John Tierney (whose wife just got a slap on the wrist for money-laundering $7 million). 5 days left. Stop Tierney and Pelosi.

The Sean Bielat campaign has declared themselves within reach of unseating Barney Frank in Massachusetts’ 4th CD, one of the presumed safest districts for Democrats in the nation. The poll, conducted for the campaign by OnMessage, shows Frank falling below the 50% mark despite the D+14 composition of his constituency. Bielat comes within nine points, even though the poll shows that he still badly trails in name recognition. The memo from the pollster explains that Bielat could shock the world on November 2nd:

If the NRSC won't support her, FREEREPUBLIC will!! She's halfway to her $50,000 goal already

The news keeps getting better in Delaware’s Senate race, friends! As National Journal’s Hotline reports today, the most recent results from a NSON Opinion Research poll of likely voters in the Senate race shows Christine O’Donnell is now just 2% back from liberal RINO Mike Castle. The race currently stands as follows: MIKE CASTLE: 43% CHRISTINE O’DONNELL: 41% Friends, with your help, Christine O’Donnell will win this campaign! We are in the middle of our $200,000 MoneyBomb to counter the $200,000 TV and radio ad blitz that liberal Mike Castle just launched. We urgently need your help so we can...

$150,000 MoneyBomb For Joe Miller - U.S. Senate   Part of an email from Tea Party Express, OurCountryPAC: We are trying to do a MoneyBomb to raise $150,000 - $250,000 by Monday evening so we can keep buying more TV, more cable, more radio and last minute newspaper and Internet ads.

Mike Castle is the King Daddy RINO, or as Remove RINOs calls him: the Ace of Spades of liberal Republicans. As a sitting “Republican” Congressman, Castle is voting almost 100 percent with Nancy Pelosi and her far left cabal. Castle’s latest vote gives $26 billion to union thugs, while cutting food stamps for needy families. This is nothing more than a payback to the people who put Pelosi, and Obama in power. Castle went all in for his peeps on the left. As we have written, Castle is now running for Vice President Joe Biden’s old seat in Delaware, and...

At last count, Governor Palin has 1,987,535 friends on Facebook. Based on the rate of increase, she should hit the magic number of 2 million on or about Friday. As Ian noted in a post on Sunday, C4P is planning a money bomb to celebrate the milestone (see banner above). The mid-term election is 14 weeks from today...that's 98 days. We can't assume that Obama's unpopularity alone will be enough impetus for Republicans to take back Congress. Most (though not all) beltway Republicans seem to believe this to be the case and are therefore reluctant to offer any alternatives. This...

ou may not be aware, but on March 25th we will celebrate the 70th birthday of our beloved and benevolent Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Yes, I know it's hard to believe that a humble defender of the people like Pelosi could even get to half that age, given how supposedly immoral our healthcare system is, and how many people supposedly die young because of it, but I guess Speaker Pelosi just has extraordinary good luck. So in the spirit of celebration, we would love if you sent us $25, $50, $100, $250 or whatever you can on that...

Hi, I am Dan Benishek. I am running for U.S. Congress in Michigan’s 1st District and would like your support. I was born in Iron River, Michigan. My mother was of Polish descent and my father of Bohemian descent. My father worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps and then in the iron mines of Iron County.

Dear friends, Leaders in Congress have set the new deadline for the healthcare for this Sunday 3/21. Rather than passing the bill with a straightforward up-or-down vote, members of Congress are pushing to use the “Slaughter solution”, a parliamentary technique to pass a bill without voting on it, in order to pass this healthcare monstrosity. I need your help to get to Washington to “kill this bill.” Please donate $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can afford to help kill this bill by this Sunday 3/21. If you honor me with your support, I will go to Washington and repeal...

For a brief shining moment, late in the 2008 campaign, Democrats thought that they might own the Internet. For decades, they had watched their Republican rivals exploit alternative media to raise money, organize voters and whip up outrage. In the 1970s, conservatives pioneered direct-mail fund-raising. In the early 1990s, they ruled the talk-radio dial. Early in the Bush era, they dominated cable news.But the Internet was going to be different. Direct mail, talk radio, the cable shoutfests — these were inherently conservative technologies, pitched to senior citizens and middle-aged suburbanites. The Internet was for the young, the hip, the multicultural,...
