According to Michael Barone, Portman still trails Lee Fisher and Jennifer Brunner but has narrowed it to within the margin for error. These numbers parallel with President Obama’s plumeting approvals. Democrats are going to need for Fisher to win that nimination as Jennifer Brunner is tainted by protecting ACORN in her job as Secretary of State. Republicans will be using that as a hammer and it will likley play well with the Tea Party voting block.

I agree with Gateway Pundit who says this:

It’s a shame that Republicans were so hard on her.
But, the Left was worse.

I couldn’t agree more. And it’s time to call out the GOP and it’s political leadership we have days like today. Sarah Palin didn’t ask for this. Like Joe the Plumber, she was asked to join the national stage. Neither was protected by the GOP estanblishment or enough conservative intelligencia. No, you all have to be above the fray or above all of it. To be nice and better than them. Cowards.

And because you all were cowards and would not stand up to the bullies of the Democrat party. As the attacks against the two were personal in nature, the attackers had to be confronted directly and yes, personally. Democrats will continue roll this way as long as there is no cost to applying reprehensible attacks on children as Democrats did with the Palin children.

Don’t plan on winning any more elections while Democrats play hardball and we play puffball.

With the leftists Democrats in control on American foreign policy……and Obama’s lap dog media controlling the narrative…..it will be fascinating to see what happens when the LEGITIMATE Honduran government arrests Zelaya and his cronies whom walk down the steps from the plane.

Will Obama and Hillary allow Chavez to invade Honduras to put his communist ally back in power? And how do they feel about being on his side?

No shock there.

AP reports say little about the ardent support Chavez is giving the deposed Zelaya, and scant attention is given to those who are fearful of Chavez’s involvement in the internal politics of Honduras.

Aside from yesterday’s UN and OAS statements condemning the legal action of the Honduran government to remove Zelaya, the Obama administration has been silent. My hope is that they realized that they have fubared this and are looking for a way out. OL

From Thomas Sowell:

We would like to have all these things without the rising costs that come with them. But only with medical care is such wishful thinking taken seriously, with government regarded as a sort of fairy godmother who will give us the benefits without the costs.

Leave it to an economist to put it in perspective. Obama and the Democrats socialization of medicine will eliminate the health care that we have become accustomed to. Even your if you desire to pay the price will be hindered as its availablility will not be the same. You are going to have to tell your congressmen not to do this. Those that voted for cap and tax will likely be voting to take over your health care.

Well, because it doesn’t follow that narrative. It was skeptical of the existance of global warming. No wonder the rush to shove through Cap and Tax. We are following the world on this one folks. They are realizing its a hoax and are not going to the extremes of legislation and self-serving regulation that are Obama and Democrats.

AJ Strata has a marvelously detailed post this morning on the frightening increase in unemployment in states lie Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, New York and Pennsylvania. All states went for Obama last year. Say’s Strata who provides some excellent graphics:

The liberal economic experiment to use the government to stimulate job creation is an utter and complete failure. Obama and the Dems may have inherited a problem, but their answers to the problems were all wrong. And that realization will come to hit the American public as this unemployment debacle runs through out the summer of 2009

I wonder what will happen when some of the fall-out begins from the closing of auto dealerships. These will be felt in more rural area, and Democrats and Obama really don’t care about those areas.

Its time for local grassroots efforts by Republicans in those districts to go on the offensive to defeat Democrat congressional candidates. The Ron Paul voters whom voted for Obama will not be voting for Democrats next fall.

Don’t we have to have congressional hearings on these sorts of things? Or is it a special prosecutor? I’m never sure.

From Ed Morrissey:

Obama badly wants these Americorps workers in big cities for his get-out-the-vote efforts. He knows that it is here where Democrats will maintain his Presidency in 2112. Obama won in Florida because of his efforts in Orlando and Miami area counties as a 20% swing in voting occurred.

We are seeing a pattern, no longer just a single data point. IGs work independently to protect taxpayers from corruption and abuse from its own government agencies. A coordinated attack on IGs certainly suggests hostility to that mission, which isn’t the Hope and Change Obama promised on the campaign trail.

Obama badly wants these Americorps workers in big cities for his get-out-the-vote efforts. Thus he needs the IGs in his pocket. He knows that it is here where Democrats will maintain his Presidency in 2112. Obama won in Florida because of his efforts in Orlando and Miami area counties as a 20% swing in voting occurred.

Some hopeful commentary about GOP gubenatorial candidate, Bob McConnell. Michael Barone weighs in on the numbers.

Overall, the turnout suggests to me that the balance of enthusiasm in the Virginia governor race is not working nearly so strongly for Democrats, and may not be working for them much at all, as it was in the fall of 2008. Creigh Deeds, Terry McAuliffe and Brian Moran were not able to bring nearly as many Virginians in a commonwealth of 7.8 million people to the polls as Henry Howell and Andrew Miller were in a commonwealth of 5.1 million people 32 years ago. In this decade Americans have been voting with their feet as much as anything else, and in these numbers I don’t see anything like the footfall we saw for Barack Obama six and 15 months ago.

The numbers that experts like Barone point to demonstrate why its critical for Republicans not to let Democrats and their mouthpiece MSM define them. The GOP ran a centrist and were beaten. Continued calls within the party to become centrist don’t make sense.
