		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have hope that TN’s inherent racism is overcome by party reason and that democrat Harold Ford, Jr. will win.  Corker is just more of the same.  Amoral republican.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does the South understand how they look to the rest of the country?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;John Laesch has a real shot! It’s close.&lt;br /&gt;
Hastert has taken the Il 14 CD for granted for years.&lt;br /&gt;
The IL 14th HATES the Iraq war and the Foley thing.&lt;br /&gt;
PLEASE help John if you have any time.&lt;br /&gt;
Want to help take down the current speaker of the house?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;They need phone bank volunteers.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Robyn at 630-207-2366 or Jen at 630-809-6595 to volunteer your service.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-362954&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The other hand @&lt;br /&gt;
                168              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can’t believe how many people outside of CT really think they’d toss to the curb a sitting Senator with committee seniority for a freshman of the same party.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A lot of firepups don’t really think Joe is a Democrat. That’s why they refer to him as…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    Joe Lieberman (D-himself)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then there’s also the question of whether he’ll vote to end the Iraq war or caucus with Republicans. In those terms he doesn’t look very Democratic or Blue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;[Mod note; bet you meant (CT-himself)]&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why No body is talking about the “CONVENIENTLY” SCHEDULED SADDAM HUSSEIN TRIAL VERDICT JUST ON THE EVE OF THE US ELECTIONS for Republicans to show some “ACHIEVMENT” in an otherwise misadventure called Iraq????&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because it’s simply irrelevant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Howard Dean made it clear in 2004 that taking out Saddam didn’t make us safer and we know that’s true. So, what difference does his conviction make? None.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get out and vote is all that matters now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Howie says: “Michigan has a couple of long shots that show possible losses for Knollenberg and McCotter and maybe Mike Rogers.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Howie, you can count on Jim Marcinkowski beating Mike Rogers in the MI-08. Rogers is panicing. Rogers’ internal polls freaked him out and he was a no show at a recent debate. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jim has visibility unlike previous candidates in the district. Our non-candidates still garnered 40% of the vote, and did so with no name recoginition and no lawn signs. Jim has signs (including big ones) everywhere so he is getting known. Even republicans are actively campaigning for Jim.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey all…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well I know you are saying there is no interesting race in Louisiana but I beg to differ.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LA 1st: Will Jefferson win re-election depite his immenent indictment and mysterious $90,000 cash in the freezer?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LA 2nd: My good friend David Gereighty is running a 100% grass roots campaign against Bobby Jindal. He is the worst kind of Rubber Stamp. David did a poll and he has an approval rating around the same amount as Jindal. Jindal has not released any polling data to the public. This suggests he may not be polling so well. David is a virtual unknown with absolutely no previous political experience. He is running a campaign on $30,000 and elbow grease and knowhow. Bobby Jindal has millions!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There has been a good deal of grass roots response for David Gereighty! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Louisiana has an open primary system. If Jindal gets less than 50% of the vote there is a runoff between the top two finishers! Go Gereighty and go Democrats. David was also endorsed by the State Democratic Party.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check out gereightyforcongress.com and give him some love if you can. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love and peace to all!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anna&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You want to talk vision quest, I have had some amazing things appear wrt Alaska/Benson.  Don’t know whether it’s for 06 or 08, but something is developing.  Reading in a novel and egregious and Alaska appear next to each other.  I go to the Dominican Republic, not exactly the cold capital of the world, and from there I’m trying to run an online egrBlue fundraiser and then look up to see that my light fixture says Alaska on it.  And several other such happenings.  Not proof, but for the one capable of seeing the light beyond the visible light, something is happening here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Diane was asked if it was hopeless, since she was an unknown challenging an incumbent, whether this campaign was being run on a wing and a prayer. She said &lt;b&gt;yes, but it’s a big wing and a big prayer&lt;/b&gt;.  That just sank deep into my soul.  She is stepping out on faith and trusting that God will provide, other people will join in, things will happen to make it turn out all right.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I picked some very dark horses early in this campaign:  Webb in February when he looked hopeless and mrEgregious was mighty skeptical of my large donation;  Kissell-NC opposing a powerful incumbent;  Laesch opposing the speaker of the house for goodness sake; and Benson in Alaska.  We will see.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Altho’ I have not commented even once, the race with Kyl in it draws my attention. My Dad died on a B-29 after re-upping having served thru W W II as a tail gunner on a B-26. When his partial war record came out I tried to find out what happened to my mothers claim for War Orphan Benefits. Kyl was written as he represents me in AZ. His answer was to write the V.A.-forwarding my private letter to my Senator to them.He did not answer me. That friends is what he thinks of veteran families.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
