1 Yeah, he's in my back yard, one county over, but I can't imagine how he loses.  His opponent, Kravitol has been on the endangered list since last year.

2 Er, Maryland, not Delaware.

5 I take offense to the DE/MD mix up.

Also, "538" has Andy Harris as the 20th  Dem seat most likely to flip.  Put is this way, if Harris loses this race, then the GOP likely won't win the house.

Its in the bag.

Donation enroute to Harris.

The NRA has also endorsed his opponent, and dem Herseth-Sandlin in SD.

Y'know what Ace, nobody is more conservative than an ex-liberal.

And this does seem to be a pattern, doesn't it? From write-in campaigns, to running as independents, to endorsing the Democratic challenger -- the ruling class establishment seems to be its own party with its own membership and its own interests, and official party label doesn't seem to matter that much to them.

Yes.  It's hard to understand.  Even Nixon knew not to be a spoilsport when Chicago handed the election to Kennedy.  He was smart enough to bide his time.  These people aren't, and it's stunning.  They're closing-out their chances of running again someday.

Interesting the pattern is the RINO-types are the ones prone to do this.  Someone was mentioning a few weeks ago (prolly Ace) that it proves they're really all about themselves.  I think that was within the contet of a discussion about the Florida Orange Man.

10 These turncoats never really stood for anything but themselves.  Party affiliation seems to have been a matter of convenience.

Yeah this is upsetting but here is some good news -  a video snippet of Fox News' Brett Baier show with Jonah Goldberg and Charles Krauthammer absolutely thrashing Obama and the DNC on the Chamber of Commerce smear.

Krauthammer calls it Reptillian Deperation that oozes of slime and inuendo and McCarthyism. Goldberg wonders if the prez is reading left wing blogs.

12 Fuck Frank Kratovil. And fuck Wayne Gilchrest too.

I had an interesting conversation with some relatively intelligent sorta non-political types who have a background with libs yet homeschool. Those type of people whose values are conservative but who have been mainly exposed to libs. They asked me about the tea party. I told them about Joe Biden saying that "This is not your father's republican party." Damn straight it's not. The tea party who aren't just republicans are pissed. They are pissed at the spending, at the taxes, at the waste, at the healthcare, at being treated like shit, at being lied to, at the nonsense. That's who they are.

They asked me about Christine O'Donnell. I asked them what they knew about her? They said that she said she was a witch and against masterbation. I asked them if they knew where that came from and explained both comments and about Bill Maher. I told them that the tea party wasn't racist, in fact they were far less racist than the dems, that that was the liberal media trying to create an image. It has no leadership, it's the pissed off population who have had enough. That O'Donnell was about getting rid of Castle who voted with Pelosi. That Miller is great but he was also about getting rid of Mucowsky who voted with Pelosi. These "tea party" candidates were about getting rid of the bullshit. They seemed to get it. I don't know but I did my best while trying to sound reasonable and not using words like libdouche.

20 Not to sound more insensitive than usual, but who the fuck cares about these Chilean miners??

21 Eh, I'm not even worried about this one.  Harris is pretty much a lock to defeat Kratovil and finally exorcise the malign ghost of Wayne Gilchrist.

25 Do you mean the US Chamber of Commerce has endorsed his opponent?

Goldberg wonders if the prez is reading left wing blogs.

He does. You can tell. He says stuff that he reads there. He is formed by them. It's one of the main reasons, or maybe just another reason he sounds like such a tool. It's why he is so surprised when most people don't want a ground 0 mosque--but they do on the lib blog! He is that world. He is of Kos.

46 Charles Johnson is going to cry himself to sleep. Did Bike Boy turn pro-jihadi, or did Pam Geller do a piece about Geert Wilders?

47 Schwarzenegger endorses Crist Love the phrase "Ruling Class Right" from the article. Really says it all.

48 Paladino needs to go gangsteh from now on.  He doesn't have much else he can do.  Really hardcore ads.  "I'm a pissed off businessman" type stuff.  Cuz a lot of people feel the same way.

49 I'll forgive him for having a poodle.  At least it's a standard size poodle.

 Paladino said "Fuck him" about Eric Holder? He's rising in my estimation.

 

If I was a NY'er (which, by the way, I'm so fucking glad I'm not) I'd vote for the guy.

51 They are going to push too far. They crossed the line years ago.

52 I guarentee you that saying "fuck eric holder" did not scandalize one single New Yorker.

53 I don't think Paladino actually said that, see Hot Air.

54 humm... special interest groups won't go away- and power does corrupt- we have to make sure our new congress stays clean. ? Refuse any party invitations...refuse to accept special 'awards' etc... while in office.

55 Oh, so it probably came from the audience. Oh well, that's why I couldn't run. Something like that would slip out.

56 O/T:  Whoa, I've been out all day, so not sure if this was posted already, but did you see that the lead investigator in the Texas/Mexico border murder of that man has been beheaded?  Head was put in suitcase and mailed to the Mexican military.  Pretty much makes Rahm's shenanigans look like child's play.

57 He did say he wanted to skull-fuck Holder, but that was off camera.

Comancheros.  We used to know how to deal with them, now I am not so sure we can do what needs to be done.

61 64 - I saw a crawl on fox that said 28,000 Mexicans have been killed by the drug cartels since 2006. At what point is that considered a war for takeover of the country? I don't get it.

62 Thanks, Lady in Black.  Blogged it.

63 O/T:  I witnessed a conversation today between tow people who I assumed to be attorneys and one said to the other "it's a shame that palladino didn't run a better campaign, he could have given cuomo a real fight" and the other guy said "no, no one can give Cumon a real fight" and the other guy said "palladino could if his campaign was run better" and the original guy said "nah, Cuomo is a lock".  This was a maddening conversation to hear, maddening...there is still plenty of time and people should not be so cocky that they assume anything.  If people keep talking out loud like that where others can hear they are going to make the doubters out there begin to believe the ones who say that the election won't be fair.

Palladino needs to pay google to be the very first palladino who comes up on google. 

Also, people are starting to think that Palladino has just given up, that he was "the scapegoat in the race to make sure that Cuomo gets elected, like John McShame for BO"....honest to God, this was said to me by more than one person today, I almost got paranoid about it.  Where are the freakin palladino commercials....there are some people who judge elections by commericals!!

64 oh no! Joe Miller needs help. The Alaska media seems pro Murkowski. 'U.S. Sen. Lisa MurkowskiÂ’s campaign is warning Alaska broadcasters not to air ads by a national tea party group ...'

It's damn near impossible to swing people from one side to another. It's often just best to stick to Dennis Prager's advice when speaking to friends, colleages, etc.: "Clarity over agreement."

The best you can do is to ask questions about their opinions and simply restate the principles of conservatism back. Calling out people for their sloppy mental processes by which they arrive at their opinions rarely works, even less for bleeding hearts.

HEMroid FTW

72 Well, no kidding.  Scuzzy Dee Dee endorsed the Democrat after she lost the primary (how's that Obamacare working for you, NY?)  Neither the first nor the last example of principles in politics.

They borrow money to buy votes and we get stuck with the bill.  Insider trading is OK for Congress, but the rest of us better watch out.

Politicians are like underwear.  They get dirty fast and should be changed often, before they stink too bad.

73 Sorry if I'm strarting to sound like a broken record, but Kratovil has been on our list since last summer.  130 Dem incumbents, our current estimate is that we'll pick up 80 seats gross from this list.

74
You have to be a special kind of stupid to endorse a Democrat in an election season that's shaping up to be a Republican landslide.

75

If there are any Philly-area Morons out there, Allyson Schwartz (US - 13) needs to go.  Dee Adcock (heh) is closing in, and Schwartz is a scumbag that votes with Obama/Pelosi almost 100% of the time.

I truly hate the woman.

Charlie Crist is a IINO -- an Independent in name only. He's a Democrat.

78 Oh man!  Too many faces from too many places.  This is starting to be a bit overwhelming.  I'm really trying to keep up.  Really I am. 

79

It's especially disgusting in light of the ruling class incumbents calls for party unity after the primaries, which they expected to win. If Moocowski and some of the other turds had taken defeat gracefully and backed the winners like honourable people of their word, there wouldn't be any of this hostility.

The mask is off; they act like leftist Democrats when they lose. They talk about "outside money", cabals against them, that the people were fooled, which is the ultimate tell of the authoritarian: you are too stupid to decide for yourself, so you need me here to do your thinking for you.

ahhh, let's take a walk down Mammory Lane...

  Yes, the real story here is the endorsements of the enemy by the so-called friendlies. The "Ruling Class Right" is stabbing us in the back. I've always been a Conservative but I never cared for the Republican Party because of the RINO tendencies. These shits do nothing but feather their own nests. The NRA and the Chamber of Commerce and other groups are screwing us. I knew the C of C was done for when they hired Tom Donohue as president. He was the long time president of the Amarican Trucking Associations. He was a Benedict Arnold there and he hasn't changed his stripes.

Harris will win. Rob Fisher, his primary opponent, has endorsed him, and he's made the inroads into the Eastern Shore that he lacked in '08. Kratovil will have to find himself honest work by January.
