comMITTed to Romney!

Bad news from the Rasmussen polling organization on Jeff Beatty’s bid to unseat Uber Liberal John Kerry.

Even if Kerry wins by a significant margin, the Beatty campaign will have succeeded in lifting their candidate’s profile for a future run. If this election goes heavily Democratic, it will be more important than ever for Republicans to do everything in our power to put the brakes on the Left’s quest to silence conservative speech, sweep away what few controls exist on abortion, to fund radical organizations like Planned Parenthood and ACORN with tax payer money, to institute government run health care and to add more layers of taxation to the already heavy burden being borne by middle class Americans and small businesses alike.

I hope Sen. McCain can pull off a miracle in the general election and act as a counter balance to what now appears to be a future Democratic Super Majority.

U.S. Sen. John Kerry continues to carry a significant lead over Republican challenger Jeff Beatty, the latest poll from Rasmussen Reports shows.
According to the survey of 500 likely voters, Kerry leads Beatty 63 percent to 31 percent. One percent of respondents answered “other” and 5 percent were undecided.

In the last Rasmussen poll, taken at the end of September, Kerry was up 35 points over Beatty, 65 percent to 30 percent.

Sixty-five percent of respondents viewed Kerry very or somewhat favorably, compared to 34 percent for Beatty.

The two shared similar unfavorability ratings, though, with 34 percent viewing Kerry somewhat or very unfavorably compared to 35 percent for Beatty. Beatty has still yet to break through to voters with his message, however, as 31 percent said they are not sure how they view him.

There was a margin of error of 4.5 percent on the poll.

Here’s some political humor from an email sent to me by a friend. I thought you might get a chuckle out of it.

A woman, married three times, walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding. ‘Of course, madam,’ replied the sales clerk, ‘exactly what type and color are you looking for?’ The bride to be said: ‘A long frilly white dress with a veil.’ The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, ‘Please don’t take this the wrong way, but gowns of that nature are considered more appropriate for brides who are being married the first time - for those who are a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean? Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be nice?’ ‘Well,’ replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk’s directness, ‘I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate. Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as a first-time bride. You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding, he died as we were checking into our hotel. My
second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on our way to our honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled immediately and never spoke to each other again.’ ‘What about your third husband?’ asked the sales clerk. ‘That one was a Democrat,’ said the woman, ‘and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was going to be, but nothing ever happened.’

An estimated 300 stalwart Republicans showed up to wait in line for two hours in the St. Louis summer heat to get 250 tickets to the VIP section at T.R. Hughes Ballpark in O’Fallon, Mo. in order to be part of the McCain rally featuring Mitt Romney.

I told Kathy that we better get there early, just in case there was a big turnout and I could see by the look in her eyes that she thought I was being a little over dramatic. So I said to her, look, if I’m wrong and we arrive at McCain’s H.Q. too early, we can go to McDonald’s for a late breakfast and schmooze over a second cup of coffee. Then go back to the office and get in line. Not too bad for a next to worse case scenario, with the worst case being we didn’t get there early enough and the VIP seating had been snapped up.

The best case scenario was that the event had ‘ginned up a big response among the Party faithful and that we would need to be there early.

We arrived at a little after 10 AM and the front parking lot had a couple of cars parked there, but I noticed a small paper sign taped to the front door that said: “McCain tickets in back of building by loading dock.” So I thought, we’re here, I might as well drive around to the back of the building so that we will know where to go when we get back. As I pulled around the corner of the building, I saw that the line was already starting to form. There were only about 10 people ahead of us, but within the next 15 minutes the line started snaking back toward the back of the parking lot. We were all standing in the sun, but some people had brought lawn chairs and umbrella’s. I looked to my left and saw that there was a shaded area about 15 feet wide going down the length of the building, so I walked out to the middle of the lot and said: “Everybody, lets reform the line over against the side of the building so that we can all keep our places in line and get out of the sun.” They all felt that was a good idea and started moving into the shaded area. I thought I would try a little humor so I said: “This is why we are going to win this election. If this was a crowd of Democrats, they’d sit out here until they passed out from heat exhaustion.” We had a good laugh at the Dems expense and I have to say, even with the heat, it was a good time. They were a very knowledgeable crowd, they “got it” and they were fun to talk to. Not surprisingly, a very pro Romney crowd. I recognized several Romney volunteers from the primary campaign and one man that I used to work with on the pro life committee.

Former Sen. Jim Talent was there and spoke for about ten minutes, expressing his opinion that America finds itself in very challenging times, especially with what is going on in Iran and Russia.

We signed up to work for the campaign to do door to door canvassing and phone bank calls, so our lives have ratcheted up another couple of notches, but that’s OK, because this is what political junkies do. Or as my son might say, “This is how we roll!”

Is that a Presidential Seal that I see in the background on that fireplace?

And John McCain is out of touch with “real” Americans?
