— Ace I'm not a long-shot, Eric Wargotz says. I'm just behind. He points out that Scott Brown was down 19 to Martha Coakley, where as he's only down 16.
He'll need a little luck... but then again, he's going to get a little luck. The only question really is whether he gets an unexpectedly high 48% of the vote and loses, or a more unexpectedly high 51% and wins.
Birther? Eh, well: what the hell.
We can have one Senator who thinks Obama was born overseas. We've currently got 59 who think he was born beside his brother Jesus in Heaven.

Oh, and second the troll comment. A friend of mine used to work for Babs. He liked her well enough, but he's an idiot "Progressive."

STARK: Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States or not?
WARGOTZ: No, I do not believe he was born in the United States.

In a year like this we need to go out of our way to support people further down the ticket.

1. A RINO freshman is less dangerous than a hard-left idiot like Mikluski with decades of tenure
2. I don't think "birthers" are necessarily a drag on the ticket considering that people are now starting to question every word Obama says, including "a", "and", and "the".

He's got my vote. (if I could)

Don't most of the people in Maryland qualify as "insiders" or at least get a big fat paycheck from the US govt? I thought that's where all the thousands of drones who staff the overstaffed offices reside.

Erick Erickson -- the Manchild Who Would Be Kingmaker -- and his little Purity Gang of banhappy psychopaths can all go fuck themselves sideways with the splintered wood from Lisa Murkowski's discarded campaign signs. Erickson just wants to keep his guest-diarist congressmen from embarrassment, and in so doing has gotten so much egg on his face that you could fry an omelet on him by now.
A year ago, anyone who suggested that Obama might be a Muslim was laughed out of the room. Now, we've got polling suggesting half the country believes it.
Wargotz is a RINO? Just what state are we talking about here? Anything's better than Mikulski and this guy can win, at least as long as mouth-breathers like Erickson aren't trying to torpedo him for failing an arbitrary and inconsistent set of Purity standards. A long shot, but the MD race could be a sleeper.

But given the slant of the media, this Birtherism will probably destroy him. Remember: Democrats get away with murder (literally, see Kennedy, Ted) Republicans are crucified for minor "macaque" gaffes.

Did he believe Bill Clinton shoved a cigar in an intern's twat in the oval office?
Hmm, I always thought that was a euphemism. And the anti-smoking proggies still supported him?

The following are extracts:
The President of the United States, as the Commander in Chief, is the source of all military authority. The Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined.
As a practical example from my background I recall commanding forces that were equipped with nuclear weapons. In my command capacity I was responsible that personnel with access to these weapons had an unwavering and absolute confidence in the unified chain of command, because such confidence was absolutely essential – vital – in the event the use of those weapons was authorized. I cannot overstate how imperative it is to train such personnel to have confidence in the unified chain of command. Today, because of the widespread and legitimate concerns that the President is constitutionally ineligible to hold office, I fear what would happen should such a crisis occur today.
In refusing to obey orders because of his doubts as to their legality, LTC Lakin has acted exactly as proper training dictates. That training mandates that he determine in his own conscience that an order is legal before obeying it…Indeed, he has publicly stated that he “invites” his own court martial, and were I the Convening Authority, I would have acceded to his wishes in that regard. But thus stepping up the bar, LTC Lakin is demonstrating the courage of his convictions and his bravery. That said, it is equally essential that he be allowed access to the evidence that will prove whether he made the correct decision.
For the foregoing reasons, it is my opinion that LTC LakinÂ’s request for discovery relating to the PresidentÂ’s birth records in Hawaii is absolutely essential to determining not merely his guilt or innocence but to reassuring all military personnel once and for all for this President whether his service as Commander in Chief is Constitutionally proper. He is the one single person in the Chain of Command that the Constitution demands proof of natural born citizenship.
This determination is fundamental to our Republic, where civilian control over the military is the rule. According to our Constitution, the Commander in Chief must now, in the face of serious – and widely held- concerns that he is ineligible, either voluntarily establish his eligibility by authorizing release of his birth records or this court must authorize their discovery. The invasion of his privacy in these records is utterly trivial compared to the issues at stake here. Our military MUST have confidence their Commander in Chief lawfully holds this office and absent which confidence grievous consequences may ensue.

I see the Rut-dogs are out.
Yea, Washington needs another friggin LAWYER to add another 1,500 pages to whatever legislation comes around the Beltway!! I think not.
Wargotz is the only candidate in this race with any kind of track record. He did not wake up one morning and have a come to Jesus moment and decide to run for the 2nd highest office in the land.
Jimbo is broke and the campaign is running on fumes. He'll be lucky to see the finish line (Sept. 14).
Creditors beware!!!
