Dem Hat Trick Tonight: 2 in WI and 1 in Maine. RePUKES, big fat ZERO ! YES !
Edited on Tue Aug-16-11 10:20 PM by RBInMaine
WI incumbent Dem state senators pounded their RePUKE challengers tonight, and Dems also won a close special Maine House election against a moderate and very popular RePUKE. GOOD JOB DEMS. How do you do it? PAINT THE REPUKES AS THE RIGHT WING PRO CORPORATE S.S. AND MEDICARE-HATING EXTREMIST TEANUTS THAT THEY ARE. Plain, clear, and simple as that. Do that, work the ground and phones hard, and you can beat them. In Maine, the Dem won because she pinned the TeaBag governor to the highly popular local RePub like there was no tomorrow. And it WORKED. These TeaNuts have given us an ARSENAL of ammunition. Just have to use it. In WI, Holperin was up against a TeaNut with strong and active TeaPuke help on the ground and TONS of TeaPuke/Koch cash and negative ads. Thrashed her as the whacko she is. GOOD WORK DEMS !

4. A hold, but a TOUGH race. The RePub is a HIGHLY popular local gal. We won because the Dems pinned

her to Paul LePage, the highly UNPOPULAR TeaPuke Gov. She also touted local values, such as protecting the environment. They also worked the ground hard. GREAT moves.

7. I heard not a peep about any of it this morning.
I only found out because I turned the computer on this morning... What a shock. :sarcasm:
