Focus on the Senate.
If the Senator wins, his coattails will most likely bring along a new Congressman with him. The Repubs have secretly, in my opinion, given up on any chance to win the House. That is why Bush is in Montana today. That race has tightened. We need to follow him there and correct whatever lies he has told today. Follow him wherever he goes. I suspect his last two campaign visits will be in MO and VA? track him like a bloodhound. Don't lose sight of him. Those are the races they are concerned about. He cannot afford to lose the Senate. What we need to do is take it from him. Take away his protection and rubber stamp. Leave him with nothing but a veto. He deserves the lameduckship like no other President in history.

2. Generically speaking...
I think most races in the Senate, whichever Senator wins, will usually increase whomever is running on the same ticket with him.

3. Ok . Agreed. The top of the ticket almost always
brings along the numbers for candidates down ballot (of the same party).

4. Good point.
But watch what the DNC is doing too - It is facinating.
The RNC is being so outplayed right now. You know we are supposed to lose the senate seat in Arizona - not even on the radar, right?

The DNC just sent Bill Clinton and a million dollars - and at last count Kyl's lead over our guy was almost within the margin of error and appears to be falling.

They have to send B*sh to the hot spots - we are sending Clinton - no contest there.
And they have hot spots growing daily - in places they are not supposed to be, from their perspective.

They are in deep here.

Looking forward to Tuesday,

Joe
