— Open Blogger The election is a month away.
Now it's tempting, with all the reports of a "wave", "tsunami", unprecedented poll numbers, etc. to think that the thing will just win itself. But, as CNN-controller Winston Wolf put it: let's not start eating each others' lox quite yet.
Remember, the other side cheats. Particularly where they are strong -- which is where much of the action this year is going to be -- they're going to use every trick they have to cling to the seats they can. On the flip side, this is a chance to end long-lived power bases, destroy their bench (yes, down-ticket races matter -- this is where the next bunch of federal and statewide candidates get groomed), and hear the lamentations of their women. A wave doesn't mean fewer close races, it means races that we would have lost easily are now close and winnable. And we want to win every single one of them. The close races? We need unstealable blowouts.
There are five weekends until Election Day. (Of course, in early voting states the polls may already have opened!) That's a lot of chances to help get out the vote. Whats and hows below the cut. Making calls don't involve leaving the house, and for the shut-in pr0n addicts who read this blog, the official GOP call from your house thing below is easy enough. But calls don't have nearly the effectiveness of knocking on doors.
It's really not hard and actually fun, as the morons I've convinced to help do this in the last several cycles can attest. Remember: you're not there to convince people, though some residents may want to engage you in conversation. You're contacting folks already identified through voting history/lifestyle voodoo to be probably sympathetic and creating social pressure to vote for the good guys. Many (most, this year) may already be fired up to vote against the Dems, but every vote counts -- even the lazy fence-sitter's. And getting GOP voters more fired up -- reminding them that they aren't the only ones itching to kick the donk out of office, and soon -- encourages *them* to spread the social pressure further through their circles, etc. It works.
So, first step: Contact your local campaign. The Concord Project site seems to have every state's candidate info linked (click "My State"), so go there. If there's a big statewide race (Governor or US Senate) in your state this year, contact them, since they're probably coordinating GOTV for/with all the lower-down campaigns too. Otherwise, contact the local House GOP campaign (unless that's a guaranteed win incumbent -- then you might want to look for a more competitive district). Say you want to help with GOTV and ask them where you can go and when -- they know where they need you. Just do one day this weekend or next week if you want to get a feel for it before committing to more. It's actually addictive.
Second step: Take a shower. De-louse (very important, for Ewoks). Pop a mint to hide the remnants of your weeklong bender. Wear pants. And a shirt. Show up at campaign HQ sober and on time. I know, this may be the most difficult part for morons.
Third step: Get your stuff and go. You'll usually get a walk sheet (not sure if the transition to smartphone apps has occurred yet) and Google Maps printout with the target houses for a particular neighborhood (including the names), plus piles of literature (one piece per packet per major candidate on the ticket) to leave if no one is home. You may also get a mini-script, but they're pretty much all the same: you ask politely for the person on your sheet, tell them on whose behalf you're walking (the candidates, that is) and either just remind them to vote on Nov. 2 or answer a few yes/no questions (generally "are you voting for X" stuff for polling purposes). Easy stuff -- seriously. The only hard part may be juggling the packets of flyers with the clipboard where you find the addresses/mark the answers.
(Note that if you're very socially phobic you can probably offer to just drive someone else around who does all the knocking and talking, since folks often do doors in pairs. But it's not that hard to talk anyway.)
Fourth step: Enjoy yourself. There's a great energy to these things, and on the campaign side you may meet some excellent conservative folks who've also been forced by Obama to get into campaign stuff. At the doors, typically a couple of people are weird, almost all are polite and nice even if they're not voting for your guy, a bunch are as fired up as you are (and often a blast to talk to), and some have just been dying for some affirmation that they're *not* the only non-brainwashed people in their world. Talking to the latter is really gratifying even on its own. Plus, win or lose (and this year, it's going to be win), you know you're doing your part.
Once you get a taste of retail politics, you may get an itch to do more advanced stuff like becoming a Precinct Committeeman, starting your own grassroots group, or even running for local office yourself. But first things first. Crush the Dems in November.

Unfortunately, this native Vermonter (I ain't no damned flatlander) has little joy to look forward to. Neither of our Senators is up and our at-large House seat-filler is a historical joke who will win every election he ever enters until and unless we can purge our state of the bloviating flatlanders that have stolen our identity.
In national election years we always report pretty early. Expect the MSM to see and highly tout Vermont's results as a counter to what will really happen. Then expect the MSM to be heavily disappointed.

Burt here's the REAL question: what gives some bureaucrat in the year 2010 the right to apologize on behalf of people alive and active in the government in 1946? Silly me, but I think the ONLY people that have the right (and obligation) to apologize for wrongdoing are the perpetrators. This latest round of apologies is just another example of liberal feel-good, meaningless hysterics. "Oh look at ME! I'm so GOOD! I just apologized for something I did not do!!" That's pretty much what this amounts to... Liberals forever stroking their own egos by pointing out yet again another imperfection in America or America Past.
I was driving home from work today and heard a commercial that made me almost drive off the road in high irritation. Barack Obama whistling through a PSA that saluted the "American with Disabilities Act" as it celebrates its 20th birthday. Cripes!

This is very distressing knowing a talented man like Rich Sanchez was terminated from CNN after all his years of loyal service. What he said about the Joo's may not be factually accurate, but it's the severity of the charge that is important.

Poor CNN, they just can't seem to catch a break.
Unfortunately, biased lefty reporters are like cockroaches. You kill one off and there are hundreds waiting under the squalid pile of oozing, decomposing crap to take his place. I wonder who CNN will replace him with.

I hope Star Light is wearing an Haz-Mat suit. She's going to need it when Ace releases his second chakra.

124 But see THIS is what I find so perplexing about political correctness. If it's true then why is it an insult? Like Jon "Stewart" can say, "I'm a jew" but if the next guy says "Jon "Stewart" is a jew", it's an insult. The rules are very confusing.
Pssst, for the same reason a conservative gets called out for saying Obama's middle name, but a classroom of adoring school children can sing a song with the words "Barack Hussein Obama: Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm!"

Breaking. . . CNN's Candy Crowley was just asked to comment on the Sanchez firing, here is the exchange.
"maam, the buffet is $9.99, maam did you want the Golden Corral special or not? . . . I'm terribly sorry, let me pay for this and then I'll comment. You take Diner's Club right?"

Geez, why do we have to hear the true news from the Brits? From The Telegraph:
Al Gore failed to mention President Barack Obama at a campaign rally in Florida as Democrats extended their new tactic for next month's elections - ignoring the man who so inspired them in 2008.
The article also said that Kendrick Meeks also neglected to bring up Obama's name. Heh!

Actually, they go both ways. Remember Linda Douglass? She was a reporter for CBS or ABC (can't remember which one) before she went to work for Teh Bamster.

Walking Precincts tomorrow in SoCal for Carly.
Demonstrated outside the Biden / Boxer luncheon today. People driving by were giving us thumbs up and one person drove by saying "I love guys".
It helps to strengthen everyone's resolve.

I for one am highly offended at the blatant discrimination that Rick Sanchez has fallen victim to. Dozens of my fellow Stupid-Americans in the national media face such discriminatory challenges on a daily basis.

All well and good, for sure, but as for the other side cheating which is how this post started, where is the GOP promising an army of lawyers and poll-watchers throughout the country, and actively investigating voter rolls and suing to get them cleaned up?
I no longer give $$$ to the GOP because they have wussed out too many times, but if they genuinely committed to a serious nationwide vote fraud prevention campaign I would gladly re-open my wallet to support it.

Don't complain about sh*t if you don't get up and assist your local Precinct Executive.
Or, better yet, help them out and then next primary run for the GOP Precinct Executive (Member County Central Committee) especially if there is no PE there yet.
FTF, door-to-door is what works and the Dems have a better ground game because we have too many p*ssies on our side.
Let's prove them wrong this time and begin to close the gap and be permanent participants in stopping the BAD GUYS.
Otherwise, we ain't any better than those losers in the redpainted town in "High Plains Drifter".
