dismantling the Department of Education? I am asking because if Lee were to lose and WE are going to fund and call for him to get a win but if he were to lose is his opponent a bad Conservative?

With so many awesome candidates in primaries, it really is exciting to rally around these guys and gals. Why not have a list of all Senate races (and any other races of interest) with a list of all major candidates, and the primary date. Maybe take it a step further and note on each race which editors have endorsed who, and some polling stat (trends, polling average, most recent Rasmussen pole, or something). Then these victories we have can be clearly marked, almost like trophies, as we win primaries and shit focus to the actual races. And, it can help prevent some races from falling under the radar.

Then, this widget could naturally advance to a general election widget. … just a thought

In addition to his feeding at the public trough? Here: http://www.redstate.com/erick/2010/05/04/beware-of-bridgewater-part-ii/

Far all of the misguided folks who say we should just abandon the GOP and start a new party, and all of the defeatists who say we should just concede that we won’t be able to elect conservatives anymore and should just accept the “moderates” the GOP throws at us, you are one of the few people with the right idea, which is that we need to reclaim the GOP, and you are one of the even fewer who are actually doing something about it.

Now was that sentence long enough?

Hats off to Eric. Keep up the great work, and keep letting us know how to help.

This goes back to the earlier post from today “RedState Has the Pulse of the Grassroots” which I mostly agree with…

In the interest of raising the profile and influence of RedState, I have been timing my donations to candidates to coincide with their being profiled here (profiled by RS contributor posts, not the candidates themselves).

So hopefully if they see a spike in donations on that day, they will make the connection and know who their friends are.

To this end we could also do it in a more structured way by planning a (RS initiated) “moneybomb” for a certain candidate on a certain day which I think has been done to some success by the Ron Paul supporters in the past. Any thoughts on this.

I know posts about her don’t seem to get much interest around here, but you write about her anyways. Her primary is less than a month away. SC Governor is a tight 4 person race!

Does anyone know what is going on with that?

Please take a few moments and joing Ken Buck on Facebook. It is an excellent way to follow the campaign. Ken frequently contributes to the FB page.

Regarding the primary polling: Rasmussen has not done a Republican primary poll in Colorado. There have been independent polls commissioned by individual campaigns. I am not privvy to the polls but I do have some insight. Jane Norton withdrew from the Colorado Assembly, obviously due to polling. In Colorado you need 30 percent of the delegates to get on the primary ballot. If you fail to capture 15 percent of the ballot it prevents you from seeking a place on the ballot by petition. Withdrawing from the Assembly forfiets a candidates opportunity for top line on the ballot. Since Ken Buck’s popularity amongst the delegates caused two of the Republican candidates to drop out of the assembly, Ken is assured top spot on the ballot.
Jane Norton is cutting staff while Ken is adding staff. That should also tell you something.

is next on the list. 2012, Marlin. 2012.

My fear is both sides will go viral and we’ll fail to take back this seat. There just isn’t enough difference between the candidates for the issues themselves to distinguish them from each other.
