LET'S GET SMART ABOUT THIS!!!! We will all be embarrassed if Karl & Co Steal the Senate!!!!



Get active and / or give money to the Senate campaigns. Do we want President Obama to be blocked at every turn....again?

According to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Karl Rove is expected to shift his money into a Republican Senate takeover.

SEVERAL OF THESE RACES ARE VERY CLOSE! What can we do to get these Democrats in. Money? Action? Door to door? Online rants? What?

Massachusetts --- we need Elizabeth Warren!

Missouri --- Claire McCaskill needs to defeat asshole Todd Akin of “legitimate rape” fame.

Wisconsin --- we need Tammy Baldwin to win!

According to the DSCD, each race is polling within the margin of error.

I'm living in poverty and don't even have an indoor tub or shower, but I'm giving money to the senatorial campaigns again today. Emails from DSCD say that the final quarterly FEC deadline hits within 48 hours—so time is running out. The risk (of losing) is so great that DSCD says that for the next 48 hours ONLY, a group of Democratic Senators will match our gifts 3-to-1."

Al Franken's appeal says, "Every dollar you give will be matched 3-to-1. Give $10, and it’ll count for $30. Give $33.33, and it’ll count for $99.99. You get the idea."

Again... time is of the essence... the Fri 9/28/2012 5:12 PM email there are 48 hours left to do this.

LET'S GET IT TOGETHER! We're all focusing on Obama and he's looking very, very good right now, but it's the Senate that is absolutely critical if we're really going to "move forward"!

GO TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Repugnicans are appealing to racist attitudes... and slamming her by calling her a "liar".

It kills me. She is such a decent human being. These assholes must be terrified of her.

It would be prudent to work hard to increase her numbers if we're to avoid a failure due to the planned last minute blast of big money ads from the Rove et al camp.

And another:


LA times says Elizabeth Warren takes narrow lead in Massachusetts Senate polls


http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-elizabeth-warren-poll-senate-20120918,0,2898572.story

Let's get her and the other close races get further ahead.



William Pitt could have, and should have been more specific when he replied to you with a simple "NO", IMHO.

might as well flip Democratic - all the polls indicated dead heat or leading for Democratic candidates.

GOP is going to be bleeding HEAVILY with massive losses and the corporatists and teabaggers blame each other, and eventually split.
