Is the Massachusetts Governor Race Now in Play … Republican Charles Baker Pulls Even with Incumbent Democrat Governor Deval Patrick

More trouble for Democrats leading up to the 2010 midterm elections … Another Tea Party in Massachusetts.

Could there be another Boston Tea Party this year in the Massachusetts Governors race? Could there be another Scott Brown moment this November? According to a new Boston Globe poll, Republican Charles D. Baker has pulled even with incumbent, Democrat Governor Deval Patrick in the Massachusetts gubernatorial race. The Globe must be nashing their teeth on this one, the LEFT can hardly claim that the poll is Tea Party or right leaning.

The poll results also suggest that independent Timothy P. Cahill is pulling voters equally from Baker and Patrick, raising questions about the conventional political thinking that his candidacy is undercutting Baker’s chance to defeat the governor in the Nov. 2 election.

In the Globe poll, taken last week, Patrick, a Democrat, won support from 35 percent of likely voters, compared with 34 percent for Baker, a statistical tie given the poll’s margin of error. Cahill, the state treasurer who left the Democratic Party last year, continued to lag far behind with 11 percent. Green-Rainbow candidate Jill Stein got 4 percent, and 14 percent said they remain undecided.

Rasmussen has the race as a 3% point lead for Deval Patrick; however, the polling data hardly looks favorable for Democrats Patrick or President Obama. In fact, one would almost question that the data is from the “blue” state of Massachusetts. However, this is the state of the political environment against incumbent Democrats.

With less than 40 days to go before the 2010 midterm elections, the polls are trending against Deval Patrick and the momentum seems to be on the side of Republican Charles Baker. Voter turn out and enthusiasm will be the key in 2010 and according to the Globe, the current trend favors Baker as Republicans are much more enthusiastic about the election than Democrats.  Patrick is also having polling issues with independents, as are most Democrats this election cycle.

Florida US Senate Election: Republican Marco Rubio Distancing Himself from Crist (I) & Meek (D)

The US Senate race in Florida is becoming a two man race for second place between Democrat Kendrick Meek and so-called independent Charlie Crist.

The US Senate race in Florida is playing out how many predicted when turncoat Charlie Crist left the Republican primary to become an independent because he knew he could not win. Initially the polls showed that Crist was in the lead, but that would be short-lived. How was Crist going to run a campaign when he failed to garner votes with the support of the RNC against Rubio. Eventually, Democrats would support the Dem and republicans would support the GOP candidate, while independents moved to the right leaving Crist without  support.  Republican Marco Rubio is not only in the lead, he is starting to distance himself from both Meek and Crist. The real battle is for second place. (poll results here)

A statewide poll released Saturday night shows Republican Marco Rubio building on his lead over independent challenger Charlie Crist, while Democrat Kendrick Meek appears to be closing in on Crist in the closely-watched contest.

Rubio is favored by 40 percent of likely voters, up from 38 percent last month; Crist’s support has dwindled to 28 percent from 33 percent, according to the Mason-Dixon Research & Associates survey of 625 likely Florida voters. The margin of error is plus/minus 4 percentage points.

The poll found that Meek is gaining on Crist, with his support rising sharply to 23 percent of likely voters, up from 18 percent. Nine percent are undecided.

So why is Crist’s poll numbers falling?Democrats who once said they supported Crist are now turning to Meek. It is not as though the Democrat machine can turn their backs on Meek in this election for a Republican turned so-called independent. They already played and lost that game with Specter in Pennsylvania. Also, the independents are flocking to Rubio and Meek as well. Charlie Crist is learning a rim reality of running as an independent out of political expediency. Crist neither has a party or a voting constituency. Maybe because Crist does not have a message either, except trying to hand on to political power when the voters had said no.

Real Clear Politics average polling has Republican Marco Rubio up by double digits. Remember when the political experts said that Tea Party backed candidate Rubio could not win?

Bill Maher & Actor Jon Hamm: The Tea Party Is “Racist” … How Old, Tired & Lame is this Message

The LEFT is at it again with the same old, tired and lame attacks … The Tea Party is racist.  The LEFT has tried this failed attack over and over and over again. Criticism of Barack Obama and his failed socialist agenda is not racism. Are we supposed to believe this Town Hall individual who shredded the President was a racist too?  When will the LEFT ever learn that when you attack regular main stream Americans, call them racist and stupid, they will make you pay dearly. See you in November.

The LEFT needs to grow up and come back out of Fantasy land. Calling others racist and stupid is hardly a way to endear yourself to Americans.

Christine O’Donnell a Witch Hardly, “There’s been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now”

In an age where witches and vampires have been glorified and considered sexy, we now take the words of a girl who was in high school in that Christine O’Donnell “dabbled in witchcraft”as a reason why some one should not be a US Senator? ARE YOU JOKING?

A note to all goths in high school, you can never run for political office. Any one who ever watched “Bewitched“, “Tabitha“, “Sarina, the Teenage Witch“, “Charmed“, the “Twilight Trilogies” or “True Blood” … you have all been excluded from political office.

Because we had such an issue with Elizabeth Montgomery as a witch

I remember everyone complaining about Lisa Hartman as Tabitha eve though the show did not last

Christine O’Donnell fired back over the weekend regarding her “1999 dabbled in witchcraft” comment and made light of it by stating the following, ” How many of you didn’t hang out with questionable folks in high school?”  However, the line of the speech at the picnic in Delaware over the weekend was that there has been no witchcraft since … ”There’s been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now.” Brilliant!

Did Karl Rove have an issue with “Charmed”

Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell is making light of comments she made more than a decade ago when she was in high school about having dabbled in witchcraft.

“How many of you didn’t hang out with questionable folks in high school?” she asked fellow Republicans at a GOP picnic in southern Delaware on Sunday.

“There’s been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now,” O’Donnell jokingly assured the crowd.

Karl Rove has stated that Christine O’Donnell needs to explain her witchcraft comments. Are you serious Mr. Rove? Maybe you need to explain every stupid thing you did in your high school and college years. The only thing she needs to explain to me is why she went on a asinine show like Maher’s “Politically Incorrect“. Just curious, how many of you on the LEFT played the Beatles #9 backwards on your record player or Pink Floyd’s The Wall? Hmm?

 Hot Air has a message to the pundits and the bloggers in the RIGHT. They should take notice and read. Would you rather be proved right or dealing with a far left controlled Senate? The choice is yours.

The RIGHT is going to play into a LEFT-wing hack like Bill Maher is promises to show videos of Christine O’Donnell every day until she comes on his show? This is what kind of liberal bias media you are going to aid? Seriously folks, it is time to grow up and stop the holier than thou attitude. None of us could run for office if videos or pictures from high school would surface as you would have to use to context and time that they were done in.

As Christine O’Donnell stated this weekend, if she was still a witch then not only would Karl Rove be a supporter, Bill Maher would also be turned into the toad that he truly is.

This election is not about what some one did in 1999 in high school, its about taking your country back and having some one you can trust to vote against spending and higher taxes. GROW UP!

Obama Job Recovery: $111 Million in Stimulus under American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Creates 55 Jobs in Los Angeles

Is it any wonder why the Tea Party is an overwhelmingsuccess … Democrats would have you believe it is extreme to be against Government wasteful spending.

The Obama Administration likes to tout the $787 billion stimulus plan as a success and job creator, really? Does any one think that spending $2 million per job is a success? That is correct, $2,000,000 per job. After receiving $111 million in Obama’s federal stimulus funds, the city of Los Angeles, CA created a whopping 55 jobs.

The city received $111 million in stimulus under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) approved by the Congress more than year ago.

“I’m disappointed that we’ve only created or retained 55 jobs after receiving $111 million,” says Wendy Greuel, the city’s controller, while releasing an audit report.

“With our local unemployment rate over 12% we need to do a better job cutting red tape and putting Angelenos back to work,” she added.

According to the report, the Los Angeles Department of Public Works generated only 45.46 jobs (the fraction of a job created or retained correlates to the number of actual hours of work) after receiving $70.65 million, while the target was 238 jobs.
