RAW STORY
Published: Sunday October 15, 2006

According to a story in tomorrow's New York Times (reg. req.), Republican leaders are "circling their wagons" around a small group of Congressional and Senate races that they hope will enable them to keep control of Congress in January, while conceding others to the Democrats.

The Times notes that most the of Republican advertising money during the last few weeks of the campaign is slated to be spent defensively, to protect seats they already hold. The Democrats, in contract, are focusing on taking seats away from the Republicans.

1. Holy sh*t

Reading at Raw Story right now.

[bleever]

2. So many feints and parries to keep track of.

We are.

[Robbien]

3. Yeah, Redstate said they are dropping support for DeWine,

Burns, Santorum and Chafee. Too many races to fight.

The DLC was loudly complaining about Dean setting up the 50 state strategy. Heck, the 50 state strategy is what may give the Dems the House/Senate.

4. Best not to listen to the DLC.

[Bucky]

8. The 50 state strategy is smart, but our secret weapons have always been...

George W Bush and the upward limit for bullshit that most voters have. The formula was originally Lincoln's:

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

5. If only George Senior had pulled out...

6. Truer words were never typed - eom

[saltpoint]

7. O yes let's have DeWine, Blackwell, Mean Jean, and Chabot all wiped out

on Nov. 7th -- and as long as we're in town, how about the entire Congressional delegation and all statewide offices, plus local districts at all levels?

Go, Ohio Democrats.
