A Good Day

I've got to say that today has been a nice day in the polls.
I hope this momentum continues until Tuesday.
But I guess that's up to all of you.

Minnesota: Bachmann Momentum in Tight Race

California: Campbell Enjoys Large Lead

California: Bilbray Kicking Busby in the Can

Colorado: Lamborn Putting the Pliers to Fawcett

Oklahoma: Henry Look Unbeatable

Uh, Governor Henry, how about switching parties after you win?
We sure as heck aren't going to beat you this year.

New York: Reynolds Has Slight Edge Over Media-Touted Empty-Suit

Virginia: Child-Sex-Freak Webb Leads Allen by 1 pt.

However, you will see that this is a Mason-Dixon poll, which has been skewing towards the Democrats all this year. So Allen should actually be doing a few points better, which of course would mean he's winning by a slight margin.

Maryland: Steele & Cardin Tied; Ehrlich Down by Only 1

Fellow Catholics: Beware of Extremist Front Group

Beware of some shady group called "Catholics United for the Common Good"

This group is neither Catholic or interested in the Common Good. They are sending out false literature and setting up a confusing website in order to trick Catholics into voting for extremist Liberal candidates.

Don't wake up the day after Election Day only to find out you have been duped into voting for some Pope-Hating, Pro-Abortion lunatic.

North Carolina: Black Named as Decker's Henchman

Firefighters Offer to Sacrifice Pay to Preserve 12 Jobs

This in my corrupt hometown of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, where our worthless mayor (Joe Vas) continues to rake in the dough from 2 government jobs while at the same time putting the lives of our citizens at risk by attempting to fire much needed firefighters.
