BIZARRE: If Christine O'Donell is REALLY so far behind in Delaware, then why is the DNC sending reinforcements in to Commie Coons?
Redstate noted tonight that the DNC is bringing in a new GOTV field coordinator for Commie Coons in Delaware…which makes absolutely zero sense to me, if what the media keeps saying is true and Christine O’Donnell is really so far behind in her Senate race.
Democrats have been doing triage all summer, with very limited resources, trying to save as many Congress critters and Senate hopefuls as possible nationwide…including big names like Russ Feingold who are going down in a big way.
It just makes no sense for them to send reinforcements to Coons that could go to Feingold or others.
UNLESS this is part of the triage, and people like Feingold are already considered such loss causes that Democrats are now trying to ensure people like Commie Coons win in Delaware instead.
Has the firewall been pushed back all the way to DELAWARE?
If so, then the internal polling on the Democrat side must be worse than anyone can imagine.
I think Christine O’Donnell really terrifies these people because she’s just so damn likable.
Even when Saturday Night Live has tried to excoriate her, I think they just make her more interesting of a candidate. They did a hit piece on her this weekend on SNL, featuring one of their fake commercials, depicting O’Donnell as a witch…and I thought it was so charming I’d like O’Donnell to really use the thing for her own advertising.
It had her floating in the air, with ghosts all around her, and a skeleton playing the piano.
Just imagine if she REALLY DID something like this and aired it October 29, 30, and 31st, right before the election.
It’s fun, entertaining, and makes voters smile…and if they are smiling, it makes the awful things Democrats say about O’Donnell seem ridiculous.
Once voters like someone — really, really like them in a Sally Field sort of way — that person becomes impervious to negative advertising because voters don’t un-like people because the TV says bad things about her or him. If negative advertising won’t work, Democrats are then stuck trying to run pro-Coons pieces…and there’s nothing appealing or likable about this admitted bearded Marxist.
I’m truly fascinated by the amount of resources Democrats are dumping into a race the media claims is a slam-dunk for them.
What’s your take on all this?
Final Whitman-Brown debate tomorrow — is there an online link to watch?
Tomorrow is the final Meg Whitman-Jerry Brown debate in California…can someone find an online link to watch it?
I’d like to live-blog it here at HB but can only see it if someone gets me a link to watch it online.
Does anyone know of one?
*************************
UPDATE: Here’s a link for the debate tomorrow: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/politics/Third-Final-Gubernatorial-Debate-Coming-Oct-12-104586884.html
I really like Meg Whitman. I have a friend in New York who used to see Whitman a lot when she came to visit the offices of the investment firm my friend worked in — and Whitman is the real deal, someone who I believe will do a great job for Californians.
I don’t know the state, at all, and don’t understand its voters’ mentality but I’m eager to see her debate Brown tomorrow and see if Whitman really hammers him as much as he deserves.
Lt. Colonel Allen West to Obama: "Welcome to clobbering time, jackass".
Unfortunately, no, Lt. Colonel West does not use the term “clobbering time” in the ad above…but I’d love him to.
It should really be his catchphrase, and wherever he goes it should be clobbering time for Democrats.
Whenever anyone on the Left sees West coming, or hears even a rumor that he’s going to be somewhere, these people should drop into the fetal position, start wetting themselves, and mutter, “It’s clobbering time…it’s clobbering time…it’s clobbering time…” over and over again.
This guy is just so awesome, it’s almost like he’s not even real…like he’s a candidate from a TV movie or a Tom Clancy book…and I think he’s our next Vice President and future president himself.
Go, West!
Clobber the lot of them!
Which Cocktail Party Republican is the lamestream media pushing today? Mitch Daniels edition
Which Cocktail Party Republican is being pushed today?
When you read these love letters the media writes to men like Mittens Romney, Tim Pawlenty, John Thune, Mitch Daniels, and other Cocktail Party Republicans, do you see how nakedly they’re pushing guys like this to be the GOP 2012 nominee?
Do you remember how the media used to write these same love letters to John McCain, from about 1998-2008?
Until, oh, about when McCain became the Republican nominee for president and then the media turned on him?
And the same people who used to praise him as a “Maverick” started calling him “too old to be president”, started speculating on him having “deadly cancer”, alluding to affairs the New York Times claimed he’d had, and generally tried to turn (successfully) turn his presidential run into Dole ’96?
Mitch Daniels would lose to Obama in 2012.
The argument the media is going to make to conservatives is that “voters will want a boring, lackluster, white man as an alternative to Obama’s razzle-dazzle”.
A boring, lackluster, white man was an alternative to Obama in 2008, and voters rejected that.
To win in 2012, Republicans need to run an energetic, takes-no-prisoners woman for president…with a black VP at her side…to completely decimate the Democrats’ identity block voting patterns.
That choice is Palin/West, folks.
No matter how hard the media tries to stop this…it is the winning ticket.
Dick Cheney plans speaking tour
Former Vice President Cheney has apparently fully recovered from this surgery this summer and is set to embark on a 10-city speaking tour.
We’d love to hear him speak in person, so if anyone can dig up Cheney’s itinerary we’d love to see if he is coming anywhere near Chicago.
We hope Cheney does a lot of press between now and November 2nd, as he is one of the absolute best voices out there in drawing attention to just how dangerously inept and naive the current administration is at just about all it does.
Jan Schakowsky behaving badly (some more) caught on film
When you watch this clip of Jan Schakowsky dodging questions about the constitutionality of Obamacare, pay attention to a woman with curly, seemingly wet hair, wearing a tourquoise top that matches Schakowsky’s jacket.
I’m not 100% positive, but I think this is a Schakowsky Chicago aide named “Alex”.
“Alex” is someone we had a run-in with here at HB back in 2008, Memorial Day, when we found out Schakowsky was passing out Obama campaign materials at the parade, and turning Memorial Day into an Obama campaign event, which we thought was disgusting because the point of the parade was to honor the fallen heroes whom we were remembering on “Memorial Day”. Not “Obama Day”, “Memorial Day”.
We went back and forth with an “Alex” at Chicago’s office over this, and she was beyond nasty to deal with.
During that exchange, Alex noted that “the Congresswoman has never had a primary challenge and last election won her seat with 80% of the vote, so I don’t frankly care whether you think we should have Obama materials at the parade. We’re having them, and the Congresswoman will have her seat as long as she wants it and always sells out her fundraising events so it doesn’t matter what we do”.
This is a typical exchange when dealing with Jan Schakowsky and her staff.
Just like what you see in the video above.
They are so used to behaving this way that even when a camera is rolling and she is CLEARLY being recorded she huffs and puffs and disregards anyone questioning her.
It would be unbelievable if this was not the same experiences I’ve personally had with Shakowsky here in Chicago on numerous occasions.
If you have any insight into how to wake up the suburban Chicago voters who keep sending this rude and obnoxious buffoon back to Washington, where she can continue to employ the Alexes of the world, I’d love to hear it.
Pamela Gellar asks a great question: "What about Obama's foreign contributions?"
Here’s Pamela Gellar over at BigGovernment asking about all of Obama’s 2008 offshore, foreign campaign contributions.
If you remember, during the 2008 campaign Obama had thousands of contributions come into his campaign coffers that were $199 or so (under the $200 bar that required more extensive reporting information), using cartoon and made-up names, with nonexistent addresses.
The media has never found this story to be particularly interesting…but Gellar has maintained that Obama’s campaign was funded by Hamas, Saudi Arabia, and other foreign Islamic groups.
Now that Democrats are, in desperate fashion, trying to gin up allegations against Republicans accepting foreign campaign cash this year (which is ridiculous), I think it’s high time the national media gets interested in Gellar’s assertions about Obama’s foreign contributions.
Whenever a Democrat accuses you of doing something, it’s more likely than not something the Democrat does three times a day and only thought of it as an attack against you because he does it himself.
If you view everything Democrats do through this particular lens, the insane attacks they come up with make a great deal more sense.
