Sarah Palin, Rasmussen, and PPP(D) polls this morning bolster Christie

By: RealQuiet (Diary)  |  October 27th, 2009 at 10:36 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

(Edited previous post)

Sarahcuda is on the march.  First, she fires the first shot by endorsing Doug Hoffman and now gives a rallying call for Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell but with an emphasis on Christie’s race.  Rasmussen shows Christie with a 3 point lead this morning in a poll released.  It appears Christie’s attacks highlighting Corzine’s corruption ties in Bergen County and Daggett’s shadowy positions have stopped the momentum and may be beginning to turn things in his favor.  The final push towards next Tuesday begins today.  Make a donation to Christie here.  If Jersey falls, Obama’s agenda will get an Arctic frost from Democratic congressmen up for re-election in 2010.

UPDATE:  Voters breaking to Christie?  PPP, a Democratic pollster shows that Christie is now up 4.  This is a significant increase.  PPP had these guys in a dead heat in the past few polls.  The poll can be found here.

    The NRCC should be working night and day on getting that California fellow over the finish line, instead of wasting everybody’s time and money in New York working AGAINST the Conservative movement. A clean sweep next Tuesday would be just UNREAL huge, if we pull that off it would probably instantly end the Health Care debate, as the Dems would jump off that sinking ship faster than you could say ‘Happy days are here again!’.

    has outspent Cristie 3 to 1 so far

    Corzine continues to have upside-down favorables: 33%-60%. Christie is nearly even: 45%-44%.

    If a guy has unfav rating of 33% why do another 5% vote for him or is it possible Corzine is down to 33% really?

  • IJB

    That’s why 5% who hate the guy will vote for Corzine anyway.

    Welcome to a Blue State…

    1) The Obama Narrative was going to be about a split GOP…
    But Hoffman is in the lead in NY-23, and money has been pouring in. The RINO Skuzzyfava is now the real spoiler, and NRCC will only help the Dem by giving her money. If Hoffman pulls it out it will be a triumph of the conservative heart and soul of the GOP over the soulless RINO/R-uber-alles operatives AND a repudiation of the Obama agenda AND a pushback to Kossacks. Hoffman is poised to win this race, and Newt and Co. will do a service acknowledging the mistake and unifying behind him.

    2) The Obama Narrative on Deeds was ‘he screwed up because he didnt listen to us’ … so they will fob off Deeds impending loss (which we hope is a blowout) as a one-shot deal, never mind that trending-blue Virginia will reverse from where it was going the past few election cycles.

    3) That leaves New Jersey. If the very-unpopular Corzine can bring in Obama and pull off a win, it would give Obama’s halo some shine (The Narrative would be “Obama still popular enough to save Troubled Incumbents in Blue States” not much but something). But if NOT … then the thrill really is gone, and The One will have lost The Narrative.

    Since the Christie race is the ONE RACE that is not in the bag (to close to call with Christie up by 4), THE CHRISTIE RACE IS NOW THE RACE THAT WILL SET THE NARRATIVE FOR 2010. IF CHRISTIE, HOFFMAN, AND MCDONNELL ALL WIN … GAME OVER FOR THE BOLD, LEFTIST OBAMA AGENDA AND “THE NARRATIVE” OF GREATNESS.

    Bravo to all those who “Get it” and see these 3 as a trifecta in a CONSERVATIVE comeback.

    Two key things need to happen:

    1) We need to get over the “electibility hump” such that voters surmount the inherent bias and understand that this is the rare case where the 3rd party candidate has a legitimate case. That’s a really tough obstacle but there is increasing hope that it’s being surmounted,

    Continued movement in polls and indications that Hoffman will clearly defeat Scozzafaca and even better if they show him in first place – if there are strong indications that’s happening, that will help a lot to get people past that hump – especially among conservative-leaning independents who may well hold the key to the outcome of this race.

    2) Voters have to not lose their nerve and revert to usual habits when they actually get into the voting booth.

    But the trend lines – at least from RedState reports – are favorable.

    You are correct that in terms of the national coverage, the NJ governor race is going to get the most media attention and spin – and that may affect Congressional votes.

    But in terms of Republican internal battles, NY-23 is shaping up to be more critical.

    Didn’t recheck where I was on the thread before submitting.

    Two polls done by conservative groups have Hoffman in the lead. Dede is reduced to being a spoiler. Given the ‘mo that Hoffman has, the endorsements that are piling (Rep Cole!?!? Mr Establishment Republican?!?) … That destroys the ONE argument against Hoffman that made sense wrt conservatives – “He is splitting the vote”. Nope. Dede is splitting the vote.

    Here’s the message that needs to be made clear: HOFFMAN IS THE REPUBLICAN CHOICE NOW.

    “But in terms of Republican internal battles, NY-23 is shaping up to be more critical.”

    Surely too early to count chickens in terms of who wins the election, but conservatives have already ‘won’, just by making the point that Dede is unacceptable. A Hoffman win and Dede near single digits would complete the thought.

    If Christie, Hoffman and McDonnell all win?

    WOW!!! Just the thought of it gives Chris Matthews tinglies all up and down his leg or maybe just a painful numbness.

  • IJB

    FTR, I don’t think it’ll happen.

    But, if it did, it would be the equivalent of a political *tsunami*, both in California, and in Washington, DC.

    It would signify that the bottom was about to fall out of the Dem Party and its electoral chances…

  • http://travismonitor.blogspot.com Freedoms Truth

    … and the Tsunami would follow in Nov 2010.

    Interestingly, since the ObamaCare has yet to pass, that would leave the liberal high-water mark to be the Stimulus package itself.

    All that ‘hope and change’ and it was all for … LOTS AND LOTS OF SPENDING.

    From what I hear and have seen. Freedom is right. I think Jersey would be a big earthquake but CA-10?? Yikes!
