The latest poll in Wisconsin shows essesntially a three way tie with the narrow frontrunner slipping and conservative Mark Neumann surging.

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/...onsin.html

Since I haven't actually moved into my new home yet, I'll feel free to reply to this.

Neumann isn't the conservative in this race, it's Hovde, who has the lead. Unless, that is, you consider "conservative" to be the one most willing to place ridiculous issues such as gay marriage ahead of cutting spending.

Still working on the definition of that word, I see.

Hey Tea,

I'm not sure why you can't participate here on TAP because of moving out of state.  We talk about many things other than NC politics, as you well know.  From my perspective, I'd like to see ya continue to banter "stuff" around with us here.  Is that not possible from where you're going?  I mean, I go to Myrtle Beach more than most humans...and I can still post on TAP when I'm there. 

Just sayin'.

I like you too Dale.

I will still be working in NC, so maybe I can use that as an excuse. I have lived in NC all but 3 years of my life.

I never had to even say anything I suppose, just acknowledging the locality of this site. I'm sure the Ralph Lauren spammers don't let that stop them, and I suppose even pesky libertarians are preferable to them!

In Wisconsin, the key is stopping establishment flunky and Obamacare endorser Tommy Thompson, and any of the three alternatives would be a big improvement.  The fact that there are three of them is the only thing that gives Thompson an opening.

As to Hovde, his many years living in the Washington beltway area and hedge fund background caused some concern, but not as much as his refusal to sign the No New Taxes pledge and even shirll attackts on that pledge coupled with his earlier statement that he was okay with increasing taxes on ''the rich''. Still, he is a big improvement over Thompson.

Neumann and Fitzgerald are the only ones with a solid record on taxes and spending.  When Neumann was in Congress, he was on the Appropriations Committee and fought so hard against every spending bill that came up, that the committee chairman asked Gingrich to take him off the committee. When notified of that, Neumann sent a ''Dear Colleague letter to other GOP  Congressmen saying that if fighting excess spending meant he got kicked off the committee, he just regretted that he only had one committee to get kicked off of.  The letter reached the press, and the resulting firestorm had Gingrich backpedalling furiously, leaving Neumann on the committee and even giviing him additional committee assignment.

The type of proven taxpayer hero who will stand up and fight our own rotten leadership like Neumann did is what we need in Congress, not a ''keep your fingers crossed he will do okay'' type of guy like Hovde.  Boehner and Cantor are much bigger wimps and surrender monkeys than Gingrich ever thought about being, and it gets worse in the Senate with McCondom (McConnell).  Neumann will be there with the DeMints standing up to McConnell.  I am much less sure about Hovde.  thompson would be a McConnell lapdog.

Conservatives have won some key primary victories this year. Now we need to win the key races in November.

One thing conservatives need to learn from recent primaries is that we do not need to divide our forces.  That lets the establishment RINO's slip in with a minority as happened in Missouri and Wisconsin.  Wisconsin was the most sickening, where Obamacare endorser Tommy Thompson won with 33% in a four-way primary over three more conservative candidates.  If just one of those three conservatives had not run, we would not be stuck with Thompson.  If I lived in Wisconsin, in spite of how awful the Democrat is, I would have to give a protest vote to the Libertarian, as there is no way I could pull the lever for K-Street Quisling Thompson.

What we need in all states is runoffs.  A 33% nominee is just an undemocratic abomination.

The other way to deal with this is for conservatives to organize early and tell all prospective candidates that they will have their own nominating convention and get behind one candidate in the primary.  After losing the primary for the other seat by putting multiple conservatives against one establishment guy, this is the strategy Indiana conservatives used to take out Lugar this year.  They forced a one on one race and blew Lugar away by a landslide. 

Missouri was supposed to be an easy pickup for Republicans.  All three GOP contenders were ahead of the incumbent, Sen. Claire McCaskill, although the establishiment's candidate, Congressman Todd Akin was the weakest of the lot.  That's why McCaskill wanted to run against him instead of one of the two Tea Party oriented candidates and actually ran Democrat ads in the Republican primary ''attacking'' Akin in a way to make him more attractive to GOP primary voters.

Thanks to a division between two conservatives, lack of a runoff, and the cheerleading of establishment mouthpiece Mike Huckabee, Akin narrowly won over the two conservatives.  For one thing, this is exhibit A on why we need runoffs.

Now the establishment twit Akin is barely nominated and he makes a stupid statement that could cost us that ''sure thing'' Senate pickup.  Just what one would expect from an establishment twit.  It is one thing to be a yes-man for the beltway leadership as Akin always has been, but it gets worse when you shoot yourself in the foot with an extremely stupid statement.

Akin is Missouri's version of Henry Aldridge, the Pitt County Repubican legislator who told the media that women who were raped could not get pregnant, and lost his seat for it in the next election.  Akin has made almost the identical assinine statement, saying that a woman would not get pregnant if it was a ''legitmate'' rape.

Romney has already had to distance himself from this statement, which plays right into Obama's womens campaign, and from Akin.

Hopefully, we will end up with one of the conservatives as nominee after all.  It is rumored that Akin will withdraw from the race tomorrow.  He should.  And the idiot Huckabee should be shown a cold shoulder from now on. 

The brain-dead establishment twit Todd Akin needs to vacate the Missouri Senate race:

Wouldn't you know it. Huckabee is urging Akin to stay in the Missouri Senate race, and that after the new Rasmussen poll shows Akin trailing by 11 points in a race any other Republican would be running away with.

http://hotlineoncall.nationaljourna...defend.php

Huckabee is absolutely worthless.

Huckabee pushing Akin to stay in the race is disgusting.  Both need to be run out of the party.  This pair of idiots may cause the Democrats to hold the Senate, and therefore keep Obamacare in force.

The last of the major Senate primaries was in Arizona, and not really a factional faceoff.  Congressman Jeff Flake was backed by a lot of conservative leaders including Jim DeMint, and has quite a reputation as a budget hawk.  His opponent, Will Cardon, however, challenged him as weak on illegal immigration.  Flake won handily.

There were three House races that did have a distinct Tea Party vs. establishment flavor, all in seats the GOP should win in November.  The Tea Party won in two of the three.

Some interesting developments:

Indiana - Defeated establishment Senator Richard Lugar has endorsed conservative Senate nominee Richard Mourdock.  Lugar is showing more class and principle than many of the sore loser establishment incumbents did in 2010.  Hooray for him!

Pennslyvania - The polls are showing a tightening race for US Senate, where our nominee is a Tea Partier who won the primary over the candidate handpicked by the GOP Governor and backed by the party establishment.

Missouri - Apparently there is a deal for the Senate Conservatives Fund to back Akin, so long as Akin pledges to mend his ways on a number of things like his fondness for earmarks.  Akin was originally the establishment's choice against two Tea Party oriented primary candidates but after his stupid statement on abortion, the establishment dumped him. The race is still posibly winnable, and if Akin does pull it off, he will owe DeMint and the conservatives big time.  Weird, Senator DeMint and The Idiot Huckabee on the same side!  Huckabee's support, of course, came without any strings about changing his establishment ways.

eny one can tell me about this topic because i want to advise the people
what is better for us???

The latest poll out in the Pennslyvania Senate race has Tea Party conservative Tom Smith pulling to within two points of incumbent Democrat Bob Casey, which is within the margin of error.

This race has now been added to the target list at the Senate Conservatives Fund.

Another very good sign for Tea Partier Tom Smith in Pennslyvania is that in the last quarter, he outraised the incumbent Democrat Senator, with most of Smith's money coming from in-state from small contributors while much of Democrat Casey's came from PAC's and high rollers
