— CAC Good morning everybody. I just finished discussing the latest on the upcoming races with Ben Domenech and Brad Jackson on their Coffee & Markets Podcast, which you can listen to here. I focus mostly on the general elections, but the more intriguing primaries also get a mention.
Bonus drinking game: every time I say "um", take a shot.

Without a large plaid map, this post is meaningless.

First The Federalist. now Red State.
Then one day soon, you're unpacking in the stateroom next to Ed Morrisey on the Hot Air all-suite Mediterranean cruise.

Has anyone else read Ann Coulter's weak sauce column this week? It had close to nothing about her boy toy Christie.

So, you did your content somewhere else, then come over here and tell us.
I am seeing a pattern.

Kay Hagan's troubles got a lot of notice on FNC yesterday. Seems she's trailing a large field of Pubbies with little name recognition.
Wouldst that this get repeated many times between now and next November.

Damnit! I was promised my platinum membership included plaid margin busting maps!
Your platinum membership was also supposed to automatically kick down a contribution to our worthy cause, but the blog management reneged.

And retwitting from the CAC feed:
John Dobson, Inventor of the Popular Dobsonian Telescope, Dead at 98
His designs brought amateur astronomy to the big affordable scope era. Nice guy too, from what I've heard.
RIP

Risky Buisness
Something like that. There's also a few Dims conceding by retiring, but I haven't kept up with them.
Of course, the Party of Stoopid will never capitalize on any dissatisfaction with the Dims and the Socialistic SuperState they've created in the past six years. Heaven forfend they mention the truth about the economy or anything else in the Age of TFG.

"John Dobson, Inventor of the Popular Dobsonian Telescope, Dead at 98"
Sorry to hear that- Dobsonians were just taking hold when I got into amateur astronomy- my way of dealing with my first wife Helen's two cancers. Probably should have built one but got a Celestron-8 instead.

OT:
I'm kind of a WWII history nut and hadn't heard about this guy. I thought he might be worth a post:
Horace Greasley, English POW in a German camp escaped 200 times to be with his German sweetheart, Rosa. Picture shows him staring down Heinrich Himmler; he stood when prisoners were ordered to sit.
Supposedly a movie in the works about the man, who died in 2010.

Now, I wouldn't disapprove of that at all, but I find it highly unlikely...
I know what you mean. They bear a great deal of responsibility for our current situation, but like all political animals, they won't take it. They'll just talk about it.
A thorough House- and Senate-cleaning is in order. I remember wishing a couple of years ago that TFG would be forced to watch his agenda get dismantled by a veto-proof Pubbie majority in Congress. After a few Guinnii, that's still fun to think about.

Meh. She flipped the state in '08 and gave Libby Dole an almost 8 point girlie beat-down in the process.
She's guaranteed funding equality -- at worst -- with any Repub. That and incumbency gives her the win.

What blows my mind is:
How in the world is the absolute hate and disgust so many of us have for the mincing, meandering, meek manner and methods of the national Republicans NOT making it's way to them?
It has to be:
1) We're a tiny minority of conservatives
2) They're insulated beyond belief
3) They really and truly hate us

That, plus the refusal of the GOP to put up a real candidate (one who would actually run against TFG and his Band of Merry Marxists and the damage they've done). I was just repeating what I saw on the Idiot Box yesterday. I really don't think there'll be any great change, not what the country needs, for quite a while.

I'm beginning to suspect No. 1. I always knew No. 3 was true. As for No. 2, yes they listen to their strategists and pollsters and that's about it. Constituents are placated and reassured by the staff.

I think they hate- and fear us. I'm a founding member of both mainland and Island chapters of the TEA party here. The "R's" I see are mostly "hold my office and go along to get along" types. We are boat-rockers. Return to the Constitution, less gooberment, lower taxes. We scare them.

Nothing says "electable" as much as being a opportunistic carpetbagger. Any resident of a state should say "fuck that shit" when confronted with it.

Maybe we're not quite the minority we've been led to believe we are. There was a poll I'd never seen yesterday that axed what folks thought was the biggest problem we face.
What was new (to me) was the response: The Government.

Have you taken a look at who the Republican challengers are? Pretty big stature gap. The top Repub in that poll is Heather Grant, a newly discharged Army nurse with zero political experience.

If you mean just the visitors to this site - obviously
If you mean the total number of Americans utterly disgusted with both parties, well, just wait until November.
Conservatives need to hit the airwaves NOW. The Kay Hagan ads in the local television markets are awesome and are driving opinion.

Zero political experience in this election cycle ain't a negative. Look at all of the senior Dems bailing out. Speaking of nurses, NC's 2nd District Representative, Renee Elmers, not only defeated incumbent Bobby Etheridge, but she also won reelection in 2012.
