All 3 branches of the Federal government? Last I checked the Supreme Court still tilted to the right.

Mike Sargent is right - do not let up, do not give up, do not stop campaigning until the polls close on Nov. 3. Never underestimate the opposition - read SunTzu’s Art of War.

Now back to work!

Maybe that’s why they’re closing their office in PWC.

The real problem is the Democrats are running a campaign based on trying to bother to convince “undecideds” which is a shrinking member of the electorate. Its the business adage, “whats cheaper? keeping an existing customer or finding a new one?” The Dems should have been playing a field game. Because of the primary, the Creigh got into the game late, but the Democratic Delegates and Senators (even though they aren’t up for re-election) should have been focused on turnout. What Kaine and Obama taught everyone is turnout matters. Thats how they win.

The Dems real problem is every Delegate and Senator thinks they are the next Napoleon and don’t realize that their party activists did more to elect them then they ever did. So they are off trying to win Republican votes (Republicans aren’t going anywhere) instead of making sure their voters vote.

Thanks for this insightful analysis. Please consider doing a follow up post on how conservatives and independents might effectively communicate with liberals (especially the young ones who voted so overwhelmingly for Obama) about the likely consequences of implementing their agenda.

Mike is right. All well and good at present, the dems are faltering but not gasping for air yet. It is foot on the throat thinking that needs to remain constant to turn the ship around. Thinking that the dems may as well pack it in will not happen. There will be brain dead persons going door to door and registering voters followed with multiple voting to win. They only have egg on their face right now. Not a lot of persons thought we would have Obamination as a president, many are still scratching their heads.

NO.

Do not, under any circumstances, take your foot off the throat of any piece of Deeds & Co. campaign on which you may be standing. The election happens in NOVEMBER. Do not, I repeat DO NOT! allow them any daylight. Don’t tell them to punt on second down, even Democrats aren’t that bleedin’ stupid.

Beat them until they don’t want to play anymore. Beat them until election day, until they lose all will to try. Beat them until their party is so much electoral dust, that none can dispute the fact that their statist ideology is anything but the evil dead.

I don’t just want to win. I want to win by 70%. In Arlington. After being outspent three-to-one. I want such a demoralizing electoral arsekicking, the Democrats will punt their leaders back to Moscow where they belong. I don’t want a majority-red congressional delegation. I want an ONLY red congressional delegation.

Do not be satisfied with mere victory. Perfection is the only thing worth striving for.

I honestly don’t think it matters who gets elected. Elected officials in Richmond don’t call the shots, the lobbyists do.

While I wish it were so, I seriously doubt that Bobby Scott has anything to worry about.

I wanted to offer the Democrats a time-tested strategy that is sure to win over many votes. Continue to characterize any opposition to the liberal and socialist take-over of the nation as racism. Anyone who dares to disagree with Obama is racist…be sure to point it out again and again. If you just keep calling people racists, they’ll eventually agree with you and vote the way you want. So remember Dems….racist, racist, racist!! (oh, throw in a “hate” or two in there too).
