I’m heading up to the Bothell area tonight to give a little pep talk at the home of my brother-in-law Dan Willner, a 1st Legislative District PCO, who is holding a meet-and-greet with Democratic candidates Derek Stanford and Luis Moscoso.
Dan’s concern is that though the polls suggest the tide is turning, and Democrats are closing the gap on Republicans, or taking the lead in elections nationwide, too many Dems have bought into the meme that we’re in for such a severe ass-whooping that there’s no reason to even bother to get out the vote. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
In the end, this election is gonna be all about GOTV, and if Dems cast ballots in even normal, non-Obama numbers, we’ll more than hold our own. Yeah, in an off-year election in the midst of the worst economy in decades, Dems are gonna give back a bunch of seats they won over the past couple cycles, but Republican control of the U.S. House is far from a given, and a GOP takeover of the Legislature is extremely unlikely.
Meanwhile, a handful of local legislative races pundits and politicos had written off a mere month ago, have suddenly become competitive. I’m sworn to secrecy on the polling data I’ve seen, but let me just say that those districts where Dems are investing the time and the effort and the money to put boots on the ground and ads on the air are seeing very positive results.
In other words, we can win a lot of these closes races… if we put the work into it.
So my suggestion is that other Democratic PCO’s and activists follow Dan’s lead and organize your GOTV gatherings over the coming weeks, and if you’re anywhere near Seattle, and I can fit it into my schedule, I’d be happy to stop by for a little rhetorical GOP ass kicking.
Remember, Republicans are expecting to win BIG this November. What could be more gratifying than disappointing them?

In Deleware, two seperate polls out of show McDonnel losing by 19 points to the Democratic nominee, although this was taken right before her “I am not a witch” ad dropped. Of course, she’s the low-hanging fruit – any Democrat that can’t defeat her doesn’t deserve to remain in politics. But she continues to be the “gift that keeps on giving”, as she is becoming the face of the Tea Party, and independents aren’t liking what they are seeing.
In California, Whitman (who was all but crowned as governor of California last August by the national media and leading by two points the first week in September), was down NINE points in CNN/Time polls taken the last week of the month. Lesson for future candidates: If you MUST hire illegals, don’t fire the nanny – they know everthing about you and aren’t afraid to tell anyone who will liston.
Likewise, the same CNN/Time poll shows Fiorina also down an identical nine points in her campaign against Barbara Boxer. Must be a lot of Hewlett-Packard employees, current or former, voting in California.
In Alaska, the Republican split between the Palin/Murkoswki factions have completely ripped open the party with the Miller nomination. Recent polling indicates that Murkowski, now running a write-in campaign as an independent, is gaining ground on Miller, and is only two points behind in the same CNN/Time poll of likely voters. The Democratic candidate is still polling a poor third, but it’s rather entertaining to watch the Republicans tear themselves apart over this one.
It’s pretty clear now that Palin’s strategy nationwide has been to push for the long-shot wingnut candidates over the establishment Republican candidates. That way they owe their very existence to her, and can be expected to rely on their support in a 2012 presidential contest. I’m sure she will give it a try, because if she doesn’t she will cease to have relevance and will drop off the news radar.
But in the meantime Miller has to get elected, and he’s drawing support from wherever he can – and that includes a few Huckabee people who are now on his staff. Huckabee, of course, is a major potential rival to Palin in 2012. So when Miller voiced less-than complete enthusiasm over Palin’s qualifications to be President, Palin was furious, and her husband’s e-mail to Miller on the subject was leaked to the media and widely published.

If we had a rational electorate, Democrats would win 100% of the votes in every race, nationwide.

Roger Rabbit spews:
By now you’ve probably heard of the so-called “robo-signing” scandal, in which virtually all of the major national banks have — in the name of efficiency — submitted mass-produced foreclosure documents to courts across the nation … which, in countless cases, have been shown to be inaccurate, false, and misleading. The net result is that the big banks have LIED to the courts in literally hundreds of thousands of foreclosure cases nationwide. Today, the entire California Democratic congressional delegation submitted a letter to the Department of Justice calling for a criminal probe. And not one Republican signed that letter. I guess Republicans are in favor of systematic bank fraud. Which brings us to the question: Why would anyone in their right mind vote Republican?

All you do now is check every candidate with a “D” next to his name and make sure you don’t mark any candidates with an “R” next to their name. That’s because America is now a one-party country. One party + one zoo, that is.

Id @ #76 said: “…If the dems are so damn good, why are so many people pissed and voting them out.”
They haven’t, at least not yet. The elections are still a little less than a month away.
But if the Republicans DO win some seats, it’s only because they have been consistently lying, blaming the failures of the Republicans and the Bush administration on every Democratic candidate from Senator to dog-catcher. Dino Rossi’s ads are a case in point.
Democracy is great, but it’s never quite come up with an adequate solution for the situation where someone is prepared to out-shout, out-spend, and consistently lie. I know we take it as a given that the truth will ultimately prevail, but over the past ten years I’ve seen it prevail way too late to do much good, and by then the Republicans are already well into historial revisionism.
That pretty much sums up the Republicans. They lie about the past, the present, and the future.
