It’s not every day that you see this...

But the most desperate times call for the most desperate measures.




The Arizona Democrat Party has shown their hand. They’ve all but conceded the race. Now, their goal is promoting not former Chairman Harry Mitchell, but the third party candidate, using language and imagery that humiliates the liberal agenda and says Obama and Pelosi have gone too far.




To counter these misleading mailers, we need to raise a few more dollars to get-out-the-vote.




Stand up to far left organizations and the Arizona Democrat Party’s misleading attempt to play trick-or-treat with this election.




Help David Schweikert in the final push. We need to raise another $17,500 to get-out-the-vote through Tuesday.




Your help will deliver our victory plan to every targeted neighborhood it is going to take to win this election. But we cannot get there without your help.




The good news is this.




It looks like whoever pulled the data for the Arizona Democrat Party was thoroughly confused. Here in Arizona, more than 60% of the vote takes place through the mail.

Our friends on the other side made a very embarrassing mistake.




They mailed early balloters - - WHO HAD ALREADY VOTED!




This is the kind of incompetence that has become the norm in Washington - - a failed stimulus that did everything but create jobs, bailouts that have thrown us deeper and deeper into recession, a staggering level of spending with no end in sight… WE DESERVE BETTER!




Bad government, big government, and government that wastes our tax dollars is something we can defeat this year, in the most important election of our lifetime.




The patrons of the Arizona Democrat Party need to know that their generous support for liberalism is now being used to bash the Obama-Pelosi agenda.




Supporters of Congressman Harry Mitchell need to know that their Democrat Party has abandoned former Chairman Mitchell in a last ditch attempt to skewer Republican turnout.

Arizona has had enough with this kind of trickery and misleading nonsense.




This election, we are choosing true leaders that will fight for us – PERIOD!




No more game playing and political jockeying. Supporting leaders that will reduce taxes, energize the private sector, protect our community, and preserve our economic freedom is a must. We have no choice but to defend our republic against the kinds of tyranny we see on the horizon.




David Schweikert needs your help today.




Please donate to his campaign so that we can fully deliver our 72-hour victory program.




The Arizona Democrat Party has conceded this race. Now it’s our time to turnout victory.




Your support today will make that happen!

2010 Race of the Day: The Newly-Vulnerable Arizona Dem


October 30, 2010


In southwestern Arizona, newly vulnerable Democrat incumbent Raúl Grijalva is locked in an unexpectedly tight race against rocket scientist and Republican candidate Ruth McClung. As McClung rapidly gains momentum and bolsters up her fundraising, she continues to present a stiff challenge for the four-term incumbent representing Arizona’s Seventh Congressional District. Although the district traditionally favors Democrats, the political narrative for 2010 tells a different story.

According to The Hill, two recent polls show McClung in dead heat with Grijalva. In addition, McClung’s “moneybomb” website attracted $100,000 in online donations in a single day. Ratings changes from nonpartisan political analysts also suggest that the race has tightened. Cook Political Report recently changed its rating of the race from “solidly Democratic” to “likely Democratic.”

As Democrats across the country become increasingly vulnerable, and the national party abandons their own members who have little chance of reelection, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has recently made a last-minute decision to swoop in to try and save Grijalva. However, a bailout from his Washington friends won’t be enough for Grijalva to hide from his support for an economic boycott of his home-state of Arizona and his controversial opposition to SB 1070 – a law that 70 percent of Arizona voters approve of. With a record of rubberstamping the Democrat majority’s job-killing agenda more than 96 percent of the time, Grijalva is clearly fighting for survival.




From now until Election Day, Raúl Grijalva will be forced to defend his out-of-touch values, as Ruth McClung continues to present Arizona voters with a clear alternative. McClung’s recent fundraising success has led her to acheive “On the Radar” status in the NRCC’s Young Guns program. Please visit Ruth McClung’s website for more information about this emerging race.

Giffords facing major upset?


by Brahm Resnik - Oct. 29, 2010 04:32 PM

  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO!



Just days before the general election, 12 News political insider Chris Herstam says on this weekend's "Sunday Square Off" that the 8th Congressional District race between Democratic US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and Republican Jesse Kelly is "dead even."

"The Tea Party (backed) Jesse Kelly could very easily upset Gabrielle Giffords in CD8," says Herstam, who said he had spoken with top Democrats and Republicans who had polled the district.

Herstam made national political headlines on "Square Off" in mid-September when he was the first to publicly ring the alarm about Democrat Raul Grijalva's unexpectedly strong challenge from rookie Republican candidate Ruth McClung. That race is now rated a "toss-up" by several analysts.


Herstam also reveals the role that Karl Rove played in reconciling the state's top Republicans for the sake of a huge fund drive to help Arizona's GOP congressional candidates

Sen JOHN McCAIN: Less then 72 hours to put an end to the failed liberal Obama-Reid-Pelosi agenda

There are less than 72 hours left in this historic campaign to take our country back and put an end to the failed liberal Obama-Reid-Pelosi agenda. But we urgently need your help today.

Friday night, Senator McCain made one final trip out to Nevada to rally supporters for Sharron Angle's campaign to beat Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid. Saturday, he was in Tucson, Yuma and Phoenix to rally Arizonans to get out our vote and to push Republicans over the top in every single race across Arizona.

But Senator McCain and our Republican candidates need your help. EVERY SINGLE VOTE MATTERS. President Obama and Democrats in Arizona are using every tool they have to win this election. But if we all work to turn out our Republican vote, we can and will stop their ultra liberal out of touch agenda.


We have phone banks going across the state and every vote matters. Please volunteer today by clicking here. Our staff will contact you immediately and plug you in to our Get Out The Vote efforts in your area.

Now is our time! This is a truly historic election. The next 72 hours will determine if we’re going to stop Obama’s spending spree and bring common sense conservative solutions back to Washington. The momentum is on our side, but let’s sprint to the finish line in these last 72 hours. Please get involved today!

John and Cindy thank you for your help and they look forward to sharing victory with you on Tuesday.


Thanks,

John McCain Stumps for Sharron Angle in Las Vegas

CLICK HERE TO SEE SEN. McCAIN CAMPAIGN WITH SHARRON ANGLEOctober 30, 2010

LAS VEGAS - In her quest to topple U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Republican challenger Sharron Angle introduced U.S. Sen. John McCain (Arizona-R) to a crowd of Las Vegas supporters at the Orleans Friday night. McCain took the stage and delivered a ringing endorsement for Angle.

"I look forward to standing side by side with Sharron Angle," Sen. McCain said. "I look forward to fighting with her against this out of control spending, this mortgaging of our children's futures, this generational theft that has taken place."

With four days left until the midterm election, McCain's appearance may woo moderate conservatives who are on the fence about voting for Angle.

"Sharron understands that America can come back from this," McCain said. "We can change. We can bring about physical discipline. We can encourage small and large businesses. We can grow again."

McCain and Angle bashed Reid and President Obama. They criticized the Democrats' handling of the economy and the passage of health care reform which Republicans call "Obamacare". The 2008 GOP presidential nominee says a vote for Angle is a vote for the Republicans to regain a majority in the Senate.

"I'm here tonight, because this election will change America. The world is watching this election. My friends, the 51st vote to give the Republicans the majority in the U.S. Senate will come from right here in the State of Nevada," McCain said.

A few hundred people attended the rally.

JOHN McCAIN TAKES A 20 POINT LEAD vs RODNEY GLASSMAN!

Election 2010: Arizona Senate


Arizona Senate: McCain (R) Runs Far Ahead of Glassman (D)

Saturday, October 30, 2010

Longtime Republican Senator John McCain appears on track to an easy reelection Tuesday in Arizona.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows McCain picking up 52% of the vote, while his Democratic challenger Rodney Glassman draws support from 32%. Nine percent (9%) prefer some other candidate, and seven percent (7%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This race remains Solid Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power Rankings.


Earlier this month, McCain held a similar 54% to 33% lead over Glassman, the former vice mayor of Tucson. McCain, a member of the U.S. Senate since 1987, has received 52% to 57% of the vote in matchups with Glassman since April. Support for the Democrat has ranged from 28% to 37% over the same period.


(Want a free daily e-mail update ? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.

The survey of 500 Likely Voters in Arizona was conducted on October 28, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Incumbent Republican Jan Brewer remains well ahead of Arizona’s Democratic Attorney General Terry Goddard in the state’s gubernatorial contest.
