Do you want to repeal Obamacare?

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  October 31st at 10:00 AM  | 

Claire McCaskill. Bob Casey Jr. Sherrod Brown. Bill Nelson. Tammy Baldwin. Tim Kaine. These Senators and Senate candidates all support or even voted for Obamacare. Importantly, they all have Republican opponents who have a chance to win, thanks in part to the growing support for Mitt Romney in their swing states.

If we want to defeat Obamacare, it is critical that we elect Republicans to as many Senate seats as we can. The sad fact is that we can’t just get 50 and hope to win on a reconciliation tiebreak vote cast by Paul Ryan. You never know if the Democrats might find an anti-TEA party Republican who oppose the will of the voters and come to the other side. So we need to elect as many Republicans as we can.

That means no Republican left behind. George Allen, Tommy Thompson, Connie Mack, Josh Mandel, Tom Smith, and yes, Todd Akin are six key anti-Obamacare votes we need to elect, along with of course Mitt Romney.

We can only do this if we knock on doors, contact voters, and get out the vote for this important election. Please help.

Democrats Freak Out About Ohio

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  October 9th at 02:37 PM  | 

The Democrats are in a full on freak out over Ohio. Harry Reid is giving his Super PAC $250,000.00 to run ads attacking Josh Mandel. MoveOn.org is sending out emails rallying its members to support Democrats in Ohio. Now Senator Bennet of Colorado is sending out emails to his supporters with the subject line “Buckeye for a day.” In the email, Bennet writes: If special | Read More »

BREAKING: SEN. SHERROD BROWN (D, OH) MAKES ANTI-SEMITIC ATTACK AGAINST JOSH MANDEL.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 7th at 11:06 PM  | 

The “Big Lie” – as Calfornia Democrat Chair John Burton so helpfully reminded us earlier this week, when he explicitly referenced that term to call Republicans Nazis – is a term coined by Adolf Hitler to help justify his systematic demonization and degradation of the Jews. It is, bluntly, a term that was used to justify genocide. Given that Josh Mandel happens to be Jewish himself, this is appalling – and no, Brown has no excuse here; agents of the Democratic party have spent the entire week calling Republicans Nazis. And, again, in at least one case the use of the phrase was done explicitly and specifically – which means that it was part of the record, and certainly in the news. Sherrod Brown should get no benefit of the doubt, here. None. At. All.

Mrs. Sen. Sherrod Brown Makes Conservative Blogger Look Silly?

By: Paula Bolyard (Diary)  |  July 25th at 02:45 PM  | 

Promoted from the diaries by Vladimir,  an uneducated conservative blogger. The headline on the U.S. News and World Report website read:  ”Sen. Sherrod Brown’s Wife Makes Conservative Blogger Look Silly.”  On the WaPo’s Politics blog the headline read, “Connie Schultz hopes for ‘teaching moment’ on conservative blogger’s failed gotcha,” and TPM wrote about “A Reporter’s Failed Attempt to Sandbag Connie Schultz.” This (allegedly newsworthy) media frenzy | Read More »

On The Senate

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  December 14th at 11:54 AM  | 

According to the vote count that leaked out, Senator Roy Blunt became Senate Republican Conference Vice Chairman with 25 votes and Senator Ron Johnson lost with 22 votes. Let me be up front that I genuinely like Roy Blunt. But I also think Senator Blunt is part of the status quo problem in Washington. My support of Ron Johnson was about Ron Johnson being a | Read More »

Josh Mandel Gets DeMint Endorsement

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  June 27th at 10:59 AM  | 

There’s big news out of Ohio. Former Secretary of State Ken Blackwell is not going to seek the U.S. Senate nomination and now Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund just went all in with Josh Mandel. I’d endorsed Josh a while back and think he is a superb candidate to take on Sherrod Brown, a man consistently listed as the most liberal member of the United | Read More »

We Need Conservative Leaders Like Josh Mandel in the Senate

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  March 23rd at 04:57 PM  | 

Yesterday, The Columbus Dispatch reported that Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel is leaning towards a run for Senate in 2012.  Josh Mandel is precisely the person to take out left-wing kook and famed Nazi hunter, Sherrod Brown.  We need Josh in the Senate. Conservatives worked assiduously in 2012 to elect Republicans who would not only oppose Obama’s proposals, but would also stem the tide of 80 | Read More »

Josh Mandel: A candidate to get excited about

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  March 10th at 10:31 AM  | 

I have to be honest with you. With the exception of Ted Cruz and Michael Williams in Texas and Jeff Flake in Arizona, I am not really that excited about any of the Senate races this year. There are few solid conservative rockstars out there. And yes, if you are thinking I am ignoring candidate X in your state, I’ve thought of them. They’re good. | Read More »
