i do not involve myself in gop intramurals, and i won't here
but i'll make some factual observations, simply fyi
fox called ms odonnell winner
83% chance of beating coons is perhaps about right, right about now
but there's no doubt the gop candidate will bounce, she will be hot, exciting, just for pulling this off
look at ms mcmahon, the pro wrestler, in eggheaded CT, home of hedge fund managers
doug schoen and the most accurate pollster in america, scott rasmussen, founder of espn, have out a new book
its message---2010 is HOT, there's seething enthusiasm for politics and voting out there
and its source---in 2010---is TEA
it's an interesting observation, maybe
either way, tho control of the senate may be at stake here for us, it's quite clear we are witnessing the awakening of a NEW gop
paul miller beat lisa murkowski in the place where you can see russia
that guy's gonna win, and his presence alone will stir the stuffy senate, he's that fresh
mike lee beat bob bennett amongst the mormons who had been there for 20 years
rubio in florida, angle in nevada, buck in colorado, paul in kentucky, the wrestler in connecticut---each ousted an incumbent or party pushed pet
odonnell makes 8, and ovide lamontage in tonite's new hampshire will be 9
the point---this is a NEW republican party being born, and it IS exciting
macropolitically, coming close to taking the senate is just about as good
we are not in position to initiate legislation much, regardless
we are immovable in preventing what we abhor
we are intimidating to the membership, running dominant in pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, missouri, arkansas, virginia, wisconsin, arizona, colorado, illinois...
even CA and NY are in play, gubs, house, senate---the best blues can bet on is about breakeven, in their bastions
it should be stunning, for example, that a TEA PARTIER, pat toomey, is actually running away with the senate in the KEYSTONE STATE
what would reagan do, ask yourself
there is no doubt the gip's disposition
he would support whoever is strong locally, he would work with that winner, he would win him or her over, by being RIGHT and being able to communicate it---to the senator, to his or her constituents, to the american people
really, we can root for one side, we can argue, but our lot largely is left to mere observation
and thought
party on!
obama's goin down!
