Send Home 'Senator Ma'am'
It's tough to say which Democrat Senator I dislike most. No, that's not true. It's definitely Harry Reid. So much for tribalism.
Senator "Ma'am" isn't far behind. Ditto Patty Murray. Or enemy of free speech himself, Russ Feingold.
Fortunately, it looks like at least two of those four will lose their job next week. With a little bit of work, maybe we can send home all of them.

Remember: Be The Wave
(via Slublog @ Ace)
Join here.

Remember November 2nd
Be a part of the wave, not the trash that gets carried along by it--GOTV. You have two options, really: 1. do what you normally do and remain uninvolved, but complaining about the direction/state of the country OR 2. Do something. Like make some calls, do some canvassing, drive people to the polls.
The link I provided is to call people to encourage them to vote. Don't stop there. Contact your local GOP party chair (Google it) and volunteer to help. If you really believe, as I do, that we need to elect conservatives to Congress, do something more than just talk about it.
I'm in London and as a result, am somewhat limited in what I can do to become a part of the wave. So, for my part, I commit to calling 40 people, per day, until the election. Each day I'll write up a post about my experience.
What will you do?

Taking Back Congress
Wanna get involved and help turn a few Democrat-held seats into Republican ones?
Check out 40 Seats, a website that has identified the most likely districts to flip this fall and helps to organize people in those areas to aid the cause.
Here's a little bit about the group:
40 Seats is a Political Action Committee (PAC) aimed at returning a conservative majority to Congress in the 2010 election. 40 Seats strategy is to target the most vulnerable liberal incumbents and focus resources on winning those races. 40 Seats fosters volunteerism and connects volunteers with the critical Congressional races closest to them.
Though OL&L readers hail from all over the globe, most of you are from NY, DC, and the Western United States. Know that all of you--including those in NYC--are close to a seat with a vulnerable Democrat incumbent.
If we are to return a conservative majority to Congress, we must translate our enthusiasm into votes and the only way to do that is to organize and get out of the vote. Don't leave it up to your neighbor or your grandma. Get involved. If you can't knock doors, make phone calls. If you can't help transport voters to the polls, blog. If you have trouble putting together coherent sentences, get on that Twitter and do it 140 characters at a time.
Oh, and follow me. Like many of you, I have precious little time to blog like I used to. So I post my thoughts as succinctly as I can on Twitter. It's a great tool for political organizing and keeping up-to-date on all the latest news. Even if you don't intend to say anything yourself (though I'm betting you'll get sucked in), following is a heck of a lot of fun.
We have a chance to have a once-in-a-century change of fortune in the House this year. Don't sit on the sideline and miss out.

Massachusetts Blue Goes Brown: Get Out The Vote For Scott
Barring significant (more than usual) Democratic voter fraud (the dead voting, etc.), Scott Brown has got about a 55% chance of winning the MA senate special election tomorrow. This is the beginning of the Tea Party tidal wave that everyone hopes will bring a sea change to DC this fall.
We'll see.
In the meantime, if you'd like to help Scott Brown get elected because, like me, you think Obamacare is a monstrosity, click this link, register, and start making calls.

5 (Actually 6) Reasons To Be Optimistic For McCain
These come from a lecture I attended last week at my MA alma mater, UCL. The lecture was given by Adam Smith, the professor who taught my Lincoln course. He is a sharp and savvy observer of American politics both in the contemporary sense and historically. He is also a liberal supporter of Barack Obama. Like pretty much everyone else in higher ed.
Without further ado:

Without further ado:
5 (really 6) reasons to be optimistic for John McCain:There you have it, Smith's 5 (nay, 6) reasons to be optimistic for McCain. He gave 5 reason for Obama too, but I don't want to be a buzzkill. And I'm an eternal optimist, so there's that.
- Obama's weak finish in the primaries (ed. note: performing 2.8% worse than he polled)
- The U.S. is still a conservative country.
- A relatively high number of undecideds (ed. note: who look like they're breaking towards McCain)
- race (ed. note: by this he & liberal pundits mean 'Americans are racist,' but a better way to understand it is that people don't want to be perceived as being racist, so they say they're voting for Obama when really they're voting for McCain. The so-called "Bradley Effect" or some derivative thereof.)
- older voters may determine outcome in OH, FL, IN, CO (ed. note: most of the people I've spoken with during my GOTV calling have been seniors. And they all said two things: 'I already voted' AND 'I voted for John McCain.' Small sample, whatever.)
- focus on taxes narrowing polls (ed. note: he couldn't have seen it, but those just tuning in have seen Obama the "Redistributor." And, Obama's desire to "bankrupt" the coal industry can't play well in Pennsylvania & Ohio.

Do Something: Get Out The Vote - Email To Your Friends Edition, Re-Post
If, like me, you'd prefer not to see America elect the most liberal-left President in modern history, with Pelosi controlling the House, and Reid the Senate, thereby enabling them to make us Canada Jr., how about a little GOTV?
(no offense to my Canadian readers)
We're close and closing. And anyway, nobody knows what to expect with the polls this year. They were wildly inaccurate during the primaries and they've been all over the place the last few weeks. The word "volatile" comes to mind.
Whether you are in a Battleground state for McCain, California for Proposition 8, or Washington State for Dino Rossi, volunteer a little time and make some calls or pound the pavement and visit some Republicans & undecideds.
PUT JOHN McCAIN & SARAH PALIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
PASS PROPOSITION 8?
GET DINO ROSSI ELECTED?
MAINTAIN A FILIBUSTER IN THE SENATE?
UPDATE 31 October 12:45pm BST: A little research has revealed an interesting fact: During the primaries, Barack Obama performed, on average, 2.8 points worse than he polled in the 3 days leading up to the election.
Call this whatever you want, I call this hope we can believe in.
Also, be sure and check out the Iowahawk post I linked to earlier today. His explanation of the statistics behind polling should also provide a bit of optimistic comfort.
Finally, I don't know how I missed this before: For all those of you who, like me, can't get to a McCain camp calling center, for whatever reason, click here, to sign up to make calls online. Even if you can only do it for 15 mins--do it. Do it for 15 mins every day from now until the election.
For advice and more on how to successfully do this, check out Gabriel Malor's post at Ace.
UPDATE 1 November 2:08am BST: I've got GOTV information for my favorite states. I narrowed down from the Top 10 states in terms of visits to OL&L to the states that could impact things. They are:
Alternatively, you can always make calls from the safety of your own home by using your computer.
UPDATE 2 November 12:47am BST: In cased you missed it.... Zogby's 1 day polling puts McCain up by 1--48-47. It ain't over till it's over.
UPDATE 3 November 1:40am BST: TIPP has it Obama 46, McCain 44. And remember, Obama, Guitar Hero* performs 2.8% worse than he polls.
Yeah he does.
*Over-the-top performance, no real skill or experience.

The Closer: Minnesota In Play?
They always said John McCain played well as an underdog. And it looks like this election is no different. From everything I can gather, trends are moving his direction. I guess the only question is whether or not there is enough time.
The latest news out of Minnesota, home of this year's RNC, suggests that state may be in play.
I'm not prepared to add Minnesota to the list of 5, but if you're from Minnesota, by all means, GOTV. If you live close (Dakotas, etc.) and feel like you speak the language (northern continental American), you too should call Minnesotans. Even if we can't get the state to go for McCain, the least we can do is keep that idiot Franken out of the Senate.

The latest news out of Minnesota, home of this year's RNC, suggests that state may be in play.
60 hours until votes are counted in Minnesota, Barack Obama’s advantage over John McCain is back inside the margin of sampling error, according to SurveyUSA’s final look at one of 2008’s most interesting states. Obama 49%, McCain 46%, in interviewing underwritten by KSTP-TV in Minneapolis, WDIO-TV Duluth and KAAL-TV Rochester, 10/30/08 through 11/01/08. Obama led by 6 two weeks ago, now by 3. The late break to the GOP is occurring among men and seniors.Yup. We got an election on our hands.

GOTV - It's Great!
Just got done with another hour's worth of calling from my computer*. It really is great. In the entire hour, only one person has hung up and the vast majority listen to what I have to say. The only ones who've interrupted me are the ones who tell me "you damn well better believe I'm voting for John McCain on Tuesday."
Thank you, sir.
This is American democracy at its finest--getting out the vote for the candidate we believe it.
Can I say better than that? I think not.
*You don't have to call from your computer. The only purpose of the computer is to provide the names and numbers of people to call in your chosen state.
I recommend one of the following 5 states:

You Gotta Question Their Assumptions
About turnout and voter registration and party ID, that is.
More encouraging words from ACE:
This is the word: We can still win this thing.
If you have tips, questions, comments or suggestions, email me at lybberty@gmail.com.
More encouraging words from ACE:
THE PATH TO VICTORY FOR McCAIN IS IN OUR HANDSCome on folks, join me in making the calls for McPalin. Click the link and copy and paste it and mail it to all your McPalin-supportin' friends and family. Write up a note in Facebook and paste a link there encouraging your friends to do the same. Make it your status on Facebook or MySpace.The media polls are heavily weighted towards Democrats in terms of Party ID. With that kind of heavy weighting, it would be impossible for McCain to show any lead even if he had a small led among independents. For example, Rasmussen currently assumes the following party id break down: Democrats 40%, Republicans 32.8%, and Independents 27.2%. He is assuming a whopping 7 percent advantage in party id for the Democrats. This is a big barrier to overcome in these polls. If we assume a 85% Democrat support for Obama and 85% Republican support for McCain and a 50/50 breakdown among independents (ignore undecided and third party candidates) this would translate to a poll finding of 52.5% for Obama and 47.5% for McCain which incidentally gives the same 5% spread as in the current Rasmussen poll.
Note that all of this is simply from the 7% party id advantage. If we reduce the party id spread to 3%, the numbers would change to 51% for Obama and 49% to McCain. Now if we assume that McCain picks off more Democrats than Obama does Republicans, 85% Democrats for Obama and 90% Republicans for McCain then the outcome will be 49.3% for Obama and 50.7% for McCain, a clear LEAD.
What this simple analysis shows is that there are two crucial things for McCain victory:
a) HIGH Republican turnout.
b) HIGH PUMA (Democrats against Obama) turnout.
I strongly believe that both are very achievable. It all comes down to TURNOUT, GOTV, and ENTHUSIASM. This is why Obama and his media acolytes are working overtime to demorialize and suppress the turnout among Republicans and PUMAs. We have to keep working hard, ignore their propaganda, and get out and vote.
One final thing. Rasmussen has been steadily increasing his Dem party id advantage over the last three months. I suspect the same with other pollsters working for major media news organizations. However, the Republican base and the PUMAs are as energized as the Dem base and may in fact be even more energized. In addition to this, if last minute deciders go overwhelmingly against Obama as happened during the Democratic primaries in the swing states, McCain should win by an even bigger margin. The media and their pollsters are in for a huge surprise.
From an ex-Democrat turned independent supporting McCain/Palin '08.
This is the word: We can still win this thing.

Whether you are in a Battleground state for McCain, California for Proposition 8, or Washington State for Dino Rossi, volunteer a little time and make some calls or pound the pavement and visit some Republicans & undecideds.
If you have information on GOTV efforts in your area, email me with the relevant details and I'll pass them along.
PUT JOHN McCAIN & SARAH PALIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
PASS PROPOSITION 8?
GET DINO ROSSI ELECTED?
MAINTAIN A FILIBUSTER IN THE SENATE?
YES WE CAN!!!!!1!!!
UPDATE 31 October 12:45pm BST: A little research has revealed an interesting fact: During the primaries, Barack Obama performed, on average, 2.8 points worse than he polled in the 3 days leading up to the election.
Call this whatever you want, I call this hope we can believe in.
Also, be sure and check out the Iowahawk post I linked to earlier today. His explanation of the statistics behind polling should also provide a bit of optimistic comfort.
Finally, I don't know how I missed this before: For all those of you who, like me, can't get to a McCain camp calling center, for whatever reason, click here, to sign up to make calls online. Even if you can only do it for 15 mins--do it. Do it for 15 mins every day from now until the election.
For advice and more on how to successfully do this, check out Gabriel Malor's post at Ace.
UPDATE 1 November 2:08am BST: I got the information I referred to above. I narrowed down from the Top 10 states in terms of visits to OL&L to the states that could impact things. They are:
- California w/Prop 8 and the fact that so many of you are from there and can call out.Anyway, thanks to Fernando M. for hosting the spreadsheet with all the info. Click here to download and get to work.
- Pennsylvania. Yep, I was surprised too. There are quite a few of you PA readers. And you live in a hotly contested state.
- Virginia - We'll see if this traditionally red state is really going to go for Obama. In fact, this will be an early bellweather on election night. You readers get out and do your job: make calls for McCain.
- Washington - Do what you can for Dino Rossi and make calls into other states.
- I think there's a Georgia Victory Center listed in there somewhere too. Lots of Georgia readers. Thanks, guys.
Alternatively, you can always make calls from the safety of your own home by using your computer.

GOTV - Call From Your Computer
Folks, all those of you in awesome Red states or hopeless blue states--those of you who aren't close or unable to make it to a McCain 2008 Victory call center, this is your chance to help get McPalin in the White House:
Put in a couple of hours every day from here until election day.
This sucker is still winnable.

Online Phone BankIt's easy to do and you can call into whatever state you like. Pennsylvania seems like a good one to me.

Do Something: Get Out The Vote (Bumped, Re-Posted, UPDATED)
In 2006, against the tide, I made calls via Skype using the RNC's web page with voter information for various important Senate seats. (Yeah, I know how that turned out, smart-A's.) Assuming I can find the link, I'll be doing a lot more of the same all weekend and into the next week.
[as below, click this link to make online calls]
If, like me, you'd prefer not to see America elect the most liberal-left President in modern history, with Pelosi controlling the House, and Reid the Senate, thereby enabling them to make us Canada Jr., how about a little GOTV?
(no offense to my Canadian readers)
We're close and closing. And anyway, nobody knows what to expect with the polls this year anyway. They were wildly inaccurate during the primaries and they've been all over the place the last few weeks.
I analyzed my analytics and discovered the Top 10 states visiting OL&L over the last year or so. I am in the process of getting info for McCain Victory 2008 campaign centers in the corresponding states. I'll get back to you with that when I can.
Whether you are in a Battleground state for McCain, California for Proposition 8, or Washington State for Dino Rossi, volunteer a little time and make some calls or pound the pavement and visit some Republicans & undecideds.
