Republican candidates enter the final two months of the campaign with an unprecedented 10-point lead on the generic congressional ballot and a categorical edge in what gets people to the polls: enthusiasm. The GOP has turned out 3 million more voters than Democrats during the primary season so far — reversing the 3 million-vote advantage Democrats enjoyed in 2006, the last midterm year. The party not holding the White House normally gains seats in Congress during non-presidential election years, but primary turnout to date points to an extensive “enthusiasm gap” that analysts say should have Democrats worried. Tom Jensen, director…

Sharron Angle, who barely registered in the polls two months ago, rode a Tea Party endorsement past her GOP opponents and on to victory in Nevada’s primary election Tuesday. The former state assemblywoman, who failed in her 2006 congressional bid and hasn’t held office since 2005, now goes on to face Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in what will likely be one of the most-watched November races. The Associated Press declared Angle the winner over fellow frontrunners Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian shortly after 9:30 p.m. Touting herself as the most conservative candidate paid off…

A Senior White House official:
“Organized labor just flushed $10 million of their members’ money down the toilet on a pointless exercise,” the official said. “If even half that total had been well-targeted and applied in key House races across this country, that could have made a real difference in November.”
Lincoln relied heavily both on Obama’s endorsement, which she advertised relentlessly on radio and in the mail, and on the backing of former President Bill Clinton, who backed her to the hilt.
Lincoln foe Bill Halter had the unstinting support of the AFL-CIO, SEIU, AFSCME and other major unions. And labor officials Tuesday evening were already working to spin the narrow loss of their candidate, Bill Halter, as a moral victory, but the cost in money and in the goodwill of the White House may be a steep price to pay for a near miss…

…With that in mind, I’d like to invite you to bring your family and friends and join me for a free macaroni and meatball community dinner to share your personal story regarding flooding in your neighborhood, and to speak with representatives of FEMA, SBA, and RIEMA directly.

The Senate Conservatives Fund, chaired by U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, has launched this national “Repeal ObamaCare Pledge” to rally support for conservative candidates who vow to repeal President Obama’s health care takeover. America is teetering toward tyranny and we must work together to reverse the radical agenda in Washington.
After months of backroom deals, political payoffs, and strong-arm tactics, President Obama and the Democrats forced an unpopular health care takeover through the United States Congress. Americans lost this battle with their elected leaders in Washington but the war is not over! If we’re willing to the fight to save freedom, we can settle the score in November by electing true conservatives who will repeal this unconstitutional and dangerous bill. The simple truth is the bill cannot be fixed. It must be repealed.

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) delivered the GOP weekly address and he knocked it out of the park. It was a scathing and truthful indictment of Obama, the Democrats and their leadership, and the health care bill that they are, with unmitigated hubris, trying to ram down our throats against the will of the American people.
