   In CT when you go in they have two tables and lines, separated about 25 feet from each other. In the 5 minutes or so I was their I would say the majority were going to the Republican line.

   Thank you for sharing this sign of hope, mattm!

   If we work hard now and elect the best candidates in the Primaries, November will be a ton of fun!

   In Georgia 13 my man Mike Crane is whooping Deborah RINO Honeycut 67% to 33% with 40% of the vote in. Our present Rep David Scott is a far left corruptocrat. Crane has an excellent chance of taking the seat. I met Mike at a breakfast last month. He’s the real deal.

   Also voted for Nathan Deal vs Karen Handel in the GOP Gov primary. He’s leading 51 to 49.

   Good turnout considering 104 degree heat index in Atlanta today!

   Deal’s and Handle’s platforms were about exactly the same. I went with Deal. Can’t have Barnes back.

   Back in beautiful Colorado after a week on the hot and muggy east coast. Thank You God for Colorado.

   CO Election notes: Buck will be fun to watch against the invisible Bennet in the Senate race. Buck’s a bold one, Bennet hides.

   It’s no surpsrise Maes is a contender for Gov. Up against a weak and ethically-challenged Mc Innis, Repubs had to vote for somebody and Maes was the only decent one left. That lame situation was a humongous failure of the Party leadership. Our leaders have been pulling these boners for a long time, and they need to go.

   Sign of the times: Establishment’s “more electable” candidate bows to grass-roots favorite.

   I’m sure that Mike Steele, John Cornyn, et.al. will get the message: they need to recruit candidates who are even MORE “more electable.” With that in mind, they’ll try to recruit Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Chuck Schumer to change parties.

   MN’s Mark Dayton ran his entire television governor campaign on taxing the richest Minnesotans ($130,000+) to pay for the Democrat created debt. He had NO other campaign platform and the guy won! Our state is and has always been based on the stupidity of the majority of our lazy welfare-state voters and felon voters. Dayton is the same former MN Senator who closed his Senate office in D.C. for fear of a terrorist attack. The same guy who has admittedly been drunk and drugged on the government job. Our big problem in MN is with the RINO’s running the MN Republican Party. Most people here and in the MN RINO party are afraid of conflict and debate. They capitulate to the far left homosexual spandex bicyclists, Somali immigrant terrorist squads, Education Minnesota thug union, SEIU janitor battalion and the brain dead Arts & Entertainment pot heads. A MN Target Corp executive was excoriated by his employees for giving corporate money to the Republican governor nominee. He later apologized to his extortionist employees instead of firing their sorry asses. “Dear boss, do NOT give to a Republican or we will financially ruin you from within. Sabotage.”

    I find this objectionable! They don’t all ride bicycles! Please be more accurate in the future.

    In Conn. Ned Lamont was running for governor. (He previously got the Democrat nomination for senate against Lieberman.)
    His current campaign workers are angry since they found out they get paid in debit cards instead of by check.

    HA ha! Rubes!

    I’m just glad the last of the Kilpatrick clan was pushed out the door:

    “This is the final curtain: the ending of the Kilpatrick dynasty,” Detroit political consultant Eric Foster told the Detroit Free Press. “I don’t think we’ve ever seen this epic of a total collapse. Voters swept out the whole family.”

    OT: I just listened to the Olberdork monologue responding to the Gibbs rant, and I must say THIS GUY IS F’ING NUTS! To add insult to injury, his colleague Sgt Schultze is right there with him. No wonder MsNBC can’t get any viewership with these two lunatics leading their primetime schedule. I have never watched Olberdork, but his diatribe saying that with a 60 vote senate and a 70 plus margin in the house, that this administration STARTED negotiations with republicans JUST BARELY LEFT OF CENTER shows he must believe that center is the border between communism and socialism. This is the mindset of liberals, and why it will be a long time before they are ever given the chance to form policy again.

    I can’t believe McMahon won in CT. There are too many self-funding whackos buying Republican seats these days. That’s about all we can get out here with Whitman and Fiorino. And then there’s Arnold who is going out whackier than ever.

    Great news on Ken Buck though. So much for the McCain endorsement. Shows you that his influence doesn’t carry across the AZ border. Now if only AZ Republicans would snap out of their hypnotic daze and can that guy while they still have a chance. (Does it help to point out that Ken Buck “shot himself in the foot” too but won?).

    Anyone care to explain why McCain’s “replacement” would be any better. Now, don’t waste time telling me how bad and evil McCain is.

    Y’all need to be clear-eyed about who the alternative his. First we have Hayworth’s Informercial. Addmitedly this is one incident.

    What I find more interesting is McCain voted against Bush’s prescription Drug Benefit. Hayworth as a member of the House voted for it. So who is the “conservative: here?

    Not my state; I have no dog in this hunt, but I hope people with the anyone but McCain mindset have a clear view of who they will be voting for. If his record is acceptable to them that’s fine. Vote your conscience.

    The gubernatiorial contest between Maes and McGinnis went right down to the wire here in Colorado. Maes (the real Republican) defeated McGinnis. Bennett won but not by a whole lot for the Senate and he’ll go against Ken Buck. The surprise here in Colorado was that a lot more Repubs showed up to vote or mailed in a ballot than did the Dems. I take that as a positive sign. A poll here said that the libertarians and independents moved over to Buck.

    *Great news for Ken Buck; I sent him some coin and will continue to work with Jim DeMint and his Senate Conservatives Fund to rid the party of these rat bastard elites that are assisting in destroying our country; 2011 is going to be the year of the death spiral economically if we don’t get enough of the RIGHT people into D.C. to move the right way forward!

    I know your brain can’t grasp this concept but there is no difference between the Republican and Democratic candidates left in those two races. The “R” only makes things worse. I really don’t care about either of those two races at this point and most people I know feel exactly the same way. I wish Texas would stop sending us their whacko liberals to run as Republicans.

    Now, don’t waste time telling me how bad and evil anything except how wonderful McCain is. Do you now see why Arizona sends open borders leaders to Washington? Dumb beyond belief.

    Unless Hayworth was found in bed with a dead women or little boy or endorsed McCain, there is nothing that disqualifies him as the one who replace McCain. Otherwise, vote for the Democrat.

    One thing to keep in mind is that a Congressman is about more than just votes, especially when we’re talking about votes that don’t end up having any effect on anything. Votes like that are cheap. Far more important is how Senators use their influence. McCain uses his to backstab the conservative movement at critical moments. If you can make the case that Hayworth would do the same thing, have at it, but comparing votes here and there won’t quite do it.
