it is time to enforce the eleventh commandment

Any Republican leader who speaks out publicly against a Republican nominee should be run out of the party.

I was shocked and disappointed to hear the defeatism being preached by Karl Rove last night. I have always trusted and respected Rove. If he wanted to share those views privately with a few close colleagues, fine. But Karl, those who worked for Castle as a means of replacing Harry Reid, should now show some intellectual integrity and rally around Christine to accomplish the same worthy goal.

If all conservatives embrace the Socrates tweet, we can still save our great nation.

What wonderful primary results last night! As I told LaborUnionReport privately last night, some of us have “bragging rights” re the O’Donnell victory because we made some GOTV calls for her and also contributed, as I imagine some of you may have, too. It was fun! Talked to some nice people. Just a few calls, but every little bit helps. Like I keep saying, I just love Sharron Angle’s line about not her not needing $25 M from fat cat donors, just $25 from one million conservatives.

Or, as Rush just said this morning, if all of his listeners sent Christine O’Donnell a dollar, she wouldn’t need the NRSC’s money.

Tea Party Express and all those “tea partiers” who helped GOTV for Christine deserve kudos for winning this primary.

The final numbers on the Del. Sec. of State election results page:

Turnout by registered Repubs.: 32 per cent (was 12 per cent in 2006)

Turnout by registered Dems: 12 per cent

Number of registered Repubs. who voted in Senate primary race: 57,582

Number of registered Dems who voted in contested state treasurer’s primary race: 34,721

As Moe Lane would say, this spells DOOM.

And I had just a grand old time last night watching MSNBC and CNN — their heads were almost exploding.

But . . . we have to focus.

We really have only about 23 days to get GOTV activities in place, because early ballots in most states get mailed out in the first week in October. And voters fill them out right away. So . . . we need to figure out how to get in touch with those Republicans, and Republican-leaning independents, who DID NOT VOTE in the 2008 general election, and make sure they vote this time. They will determine our margin of victory.

Last night my local GOP committee had its monthly meeting and focus was GOTV. We heard from candidates and then we “talked amongst ourselves.” I explained to everyone how I planned to meet with my fellow PCs from my precinct and presented my plan to, with precinct walking sheets, to knock on the doors of every Republican who didn’t vote in the 2008 general election (122 voters) and the independents who did not vote (105). (The walking sheets contain this information.) We’ll divide that up among the eight of us and, because some households contain multiple voters who did not vote in 2008, we’ll each have to hit only about 20 doors. Won’t take long. For the Republicans, we’ll just give them a friendly courtesy reminder to get to the polls. For the independents, we’ll identify ourselves as Republicans and ask them a few “voter attitude” questions about Obamacare, TARP, Cap & Trade, etc. If they lean conservative, we’ll urge them to get to the polls. If not, we’ll thank them and move on.

I urged all of the PCs at the meeting to get with their fellow PCs in their precincts to do the same. It took about two minutes to explain the strategy. I’ll be meeting with my fellow precinct PCs ASAP to get it done. Then we’ll move to the neighboring precincts that have no PC and see if we can do the same there. But, before doing that, we’ll work with the David Schweikert campaign and the campaigns of our state legislature candidates to augment their GOTV activities so that we’re not duplicating efforts.

Lots to do.

It was the most energized monthly meeting I’ve been to. Standing room only and a lot of excitement, especially when I announced the O’Donnell win and gave out the numbers above.

For Liberty,
ColdWarrior, PC (that’s “precinct committeeman,” not “political child!”)
Conservatives, UNITE! CHANGE the Republican Party and save the world by UNITING INSIDE the Party as precinct committeemen. NOW! (48 days until Nov. 2 — what are YOU DOING to help get out the vote in your precinct?)

Please help GOTV!

Or, as it is said in other parts of the Internet, “elebenty million thumbs up.”

Can’t WAIT for November!

That Achance recommended this diary. Sometimes a couple of drinks or just the wrong state of mind in an instant in time can lead you down the road to RedState or any other perdition. Here’s hoping that perhaps intentions (working for Murkowski) are left unfulfilled and absolution (RedState) is found. Someday.
