The RNC is unable to send money to Brown or Reeds rival since all available funds went to Scuzzyflava, Spector & Cristie…the rest steele wasted

Rassmussen is big. He’s truly unbiased and strives for accuracy and is usually dead on. So if he shows a creeping in favor of Brown, then the democrats better get their ballot stuffing ready to go because they’ll need it.

Still, it would be nice to have the seat formerly held by Joooooooe Biden as a feather in our collective caps.

The trouble is that the GOP would be stuck with Castle for some time. Think Arlen Specter if you want a vision of the future. Or Lindsey Graham. Or Olympia Snowe. Or Susan Collins. Or Richard Lugar. Or Ahnauld Schwarzenegger. Or Lamar Alexander. Or Kay Bailey Hutchison. Or John McCain. Or ….. well, you get the picture.

If “moderate” Republicans were actually, you know, moderate, then conservatives would be more enthused.

I suggest conservatives save themselves future headaches by finding someone other than Castle to vote for. It’s time to think long term instead of settling for the evils of lessers like Castle.

MD, the problem is that until conservatives can successfully sell conservatism in blue states then the likelihood of getting a lot of true conservatives in office those states is not good. It can be done, but it’s an uphill battle – and one that can only be won if:

1) conservative leaders in these states consistently stay front and center in the middle of state and national debates on key issues to get the message out, and

2) when/if the right conservative candidate comes along who knows how to sell traditional conservatism in areas where moderates and liberals typically prevail.

1 is already being done, but you don’t see a lot of conservative candidates running up North because they don’t think they can win because they don’t have big support networks and typically don’t raise a lot of money. It’s the same situation in reverse for liberal Democrats in the South. Doug Hoffman didn’t lose NY23 because he was a terrible candidate. He lost it because in the end the voters in that district preferred a more moderate candidate than he was. Had he had a few more weeks/months to sell himself and conservatism, he might have pulled it off. How often do we see this happen up North, though? Unfortunately, not often enough.

Couple of points:

1. Whatever happens, we won’t be stuck with Castle very long. He turns 71 this year, and voters only like to re-elect the REALLY old guys (Thurmond, Byrd) when they’ve been there for all the voters’ lives.

2. RNC has MUCH more money than DNC does. And Brown has made the DNC blow a cool million of it on a can’t-lose seat in Mass. In that sense, he’s already been a big win. But with the video of last night’s shoving episode, right in front of Coakley, on the reporter who humiliated her with a reasonably simple question on Afghanistan, Coakley is on the verge of turning radioactive. This may be the single biggest meltdown gaffe I’ve seen since Clayton Williams’ stupid rape joke in the 1990 Texas Governor’s race.

I don’t know how conservative Brown is, but c’mon – it’s Massachusetts! He really is pretty much the best we could hope for up there.

As conservatives, we can console ourselves all we want about the great silent, sleeping majority out there that Any Day Now is gonna rise up and restore the constitution and slash the welfare state. That “majority” has been slumbering for the most part for 80 years or so. So, we take what we can get, put our ideas into practice, and when they work, we get converts. That’s the work of building a movement – and a nation.
