Balance the Power


Patrick Ruffini of The Next Right blog writes:

McCain should start explicitly making the argument for divided government, with him as the only hope of preserving it. This is unlikely to be a voting issue at the Presidential level, but we need to get the idea percolating that we are about to elect Obama with unchecked, unlimited power. Power corrupts... absolute power corrupts absolutely, etc.

Obama at 56 seats makes life hard, but a lot more bearable than Obama at 60 seats. The death of the filibuster would be like losing the White House all over again.

And while we all to some extent will continue to fixate on the Presidential race, we need to understand the very real consequences if the Senate is irredeemably lost, and if our bench in the House is wiped out.

Don't give up on our Republican House and Senate members! Visit Mitt's PAC to find out more about all the candidates he is supporting and how you can still help.

In NYS Mitt has endorsed: Kieran Michael Lalor running for U.S. Congress in New York's 19th district and Lee Zeldin who is running for U.S. Congress in New York's 1st District.

Also running: Dale Sweetland, Richard Hanna in Central New York.

Randy Kuhl, Chris Lee, Jim Buhrmaster, A. Sandy Treadwell, Bob Straniere are all running for U.S. Congress to represent New Yorkers.

In the Northeast for Senate: John Sununu is in a tough battle for re-election from New Hampshire and Jeff Beatty is challenging John Kerry in Massachusetts. Susan Collins is up for re-election in Maine.

Let's get out there and help these guys!
