Linda McMahon spent money and lost to Blumenthal 2010. She has repeated that process with unlimited funds this year. She had the party endorsement both times. But CT is too Democratic leaning for a pick up in a presidential election year. Lieberman is Indep but caucuses with Dems. If she does win CT it will be the biggest shake up in the nation. .Bucking Obama coattails she will have them herself and can built a farm team in the state if she wins.

HI has rewarded Linda Lingle with a statewide win as governor and maybe might again. But a win to Lingle would also be a shake up and would signal HI is not inevitably Democratic.

Donate time as a volunteer to a campaign and we will be as helpful as giving money.

In WIsconsin volunteers are vital for so many tasks, some can be done from the home like calls. The Victory centers set up by RNC Priebus to organize support for Scott in recall are now operating the R-R campaign.

The Romney Ryan campaign seeks helpers as do Senate and other campaigns. One can also volunteer for a state or county party

Time is money and there are so many things to do.

Does Romney have a home state? MA is where he was governor and ran for office. He has a vacation home on NH. He and Ann grew up in MIchigan and have roots there. He may not carry MA however or Michigan. But Indiana is s different matter.
.
Larry Sabato points out the coattails for Obama at 60-40 even 55-45 will help Eliz Warren take the Scott Brown Senate seat unless thousands of voters cross over and vote Obama and Scott Brown.

Indiana may be one state that will return to Republican nominee Romney as that state is conservative. WIll Romney have coattails for Mourdock is the question. In this tie a Romney win might also push Mourdock over the finish line.

I was just down in Florida and I can tell you that the GOP is not working as if Florida is a lock. This is a must win state now, given the way the othe swing states are moving, which is why Ryan was down here with his mother. They are all hoping Ryan spends more time in the Sunshine State. He was very effective, and Romney doesn’t inspire much down there.

He is playing gutter politics like the other Dems here in Fl. I think there will be a huge turn out of Republicans and Independents for the election. I do think Connie Mack will prevail. Col. Allen West is going to be having a very hard time against a vicious opponent whose father got involved with a Super PAC and made some racists attacks against Col. West. I do think Col. West will prevail as well.

It may be small, but anything to help the cause.

I think your observation that this is the time to attack and break through the Obama Line is correct.

The lack of commentary from the pundits on the right on Romney’s poll improvement is noticeable. I think they are all waiting to see if he can sustain it a few days.

But like you I think the dam is about to burst.

I just hope the trend continues. There was a bucket of cold water thrown on the Florida Senate GOP race. Bill Nelson is up on Connie Mack by 47-40. Have to assume this is the result of the GOP primary fight so Mack will probably close the distance here in the next few weeks.

but misplaced my post below. No matter, You and I are on the same page.

This is a great country. America is still here, still great and ever ready for a new era.

Cannot wait to wake up tomorrow to more good news of my beloved country.

beaming, as Paul Ryan shook her hand. What a memorable day for her. This is the America I wanted for her.

We are so blessed to have this opportunity. We’re going to win this election — not “we” the Republican Party, “We The People”

Ooh-rah!

Turnout was very heavy today at Paul Ryan’s appearance at West Springfield HS in the somewhat liberal-leaning suburbs of D.C. in Northern Va. (went for the O in 2008) The sober reality that the constituents here may, maybe, hold the deciding votes in the General in this “toss-up” (now Pink and Leaning) state was palpable. But the place was on fire.

Artur Davis introduced Ryan with a gracious, classy, upbeat speech. Actually, they’re all classy people, from Ken Cuccinelli to Frank Wolf to Pat Herrity to Chris Perkins and onward.

People here understand their responsibility. They take it to heart. Virginia will stand with Romney and Ryan. That’s a promise.

Semper fi.

were you able to go to Ryan’s function today? I love your handle. Thank you for serving. I remember we were on the same page when that Bloomberg formula thing can out. Think we may be in agreement on many issues. We are big Paul Ryan fans here.

giving again. It sounds like the flood gates have opened with the Ryan pick. The election got a bit more exciting this week. Now if only Romney/Ryan would pound the heck out of the opposition.

…if Romney wins those states and throw in N. Carolina, Obama will be nothing but a bad memory.

Fellow redstaters, we must make sure Romney does as well as he can in all these states.

Let’s continue to pound Obama with social media and twitter.

Give where you can.

Taking the Senate will be great.
