It is crunch time for the DaTechGuy / Robert Stacy McCain road trip to hit districts in NY and Penn.
We are at least $300 short from being able to do this and that doesn’t even count any meals or hotels.
If we can get the last $300 $275 $250 $190 $165 $135 the road trip is on. If we can’t the road trip is off. I’m in no financial position to do this at a deficit.
So if you would like to see us hit some districts consider hitting DaTipJar to finance the trip and lets see if we can make it.
Consider how much of a difference its making in MA-3 and Marty Lamb because we were there. Could that happen in your district?
If not. Well Stacy can find a last min flight and I have plenty to do around here.
Answer: Things are so bad for the Democrats that they are touting polls for a race that doesn’t exist.

Question: How bad are things actually for the democratic party and liberals?
When you leave the WW 2 memorial trashed after your rally, that’s bad
When you need Oprah to pay for people to go to your event, that’s worse.
But when you find yourself taking polls about a race that doesn’t exist, against an opponent that isn’t running to make an incumbent democratic senator look strong. That’s just idiotic:
The answer is not so well. Nelson leads Limbaugh 50-36 in that hypothetical match up. Nelson would have his party base pretty well locked up, independents would go for him overwhelmingly by a 58-30 margin, and even 21% of Republicans say they’d prefer Nelson to Limbaugh.
Earth to PPP Nelson isn’t running against Limbaugh and never will be. You make yourselves look like fools when this is what you are writing about 17 days before an election.
A unreal news show’s unreal rally to promote an unreality

Just so everyone understands, there the John Stewart rally exists for two different purposes. One of which has already been achieved.
For Comedy Central, it is PR and even if only two drunks show up they have managed to get the ratings and promoting they want. Comedy Central has achieved its goal.
For the left, it is different, over and over the left has tried to ignore, silence, dismiss and destroy the tea party to no effect. Finally they tried to outdraw them, but the Sharpton and the One Nation rallies were spectacular failures.
So they have gone all in to achieve the goal. What goal? As as One Nation. The goal here is to paint democrats as energized and engaged and ready to vote and to get the MEDIA to report this.
Let’s make one thing clear. Stewart rally Keg Party is going to be very well attended (Oprah, Arianna and comedy central paying for the trip isn’t going to hurt either. I don’t know if they will outdraw Beck, (or if they will pick up their trash, but I suspect Stewart is not stupid enough to let his crowd trash the mall.)
It is NOT going to be an indication of democratic strength or purpose. It is going to be about a bunch of people getting to see their favorite comics and have a fun time (Think Dan’s Bake sale except Rush didn’t pay for people to go).
The Mainstream media WILL paint it as a sign that democrats are energized and will talk about nothing else on Monday, with the goal of actually energizing the unenergized voters. When Joe Scarborough decided that One Nation wasn’t worth talking about since “He was watching football” I guarantee you Morning Joe have time to comment on it and guest after guest from the left media will be talking about how it is a game-changer.
The goal will be to make it a game changer. It will fail.
Update: Sissy Willis on the subject
Update 2: Doug Powers comments at Michelle’s
Huffington and Winfrey are spending a lot of cash to ship people to the rally — people who wouldn’t have attended unless somebody gave them a free ride. As far as I’m concerned, Arianna and Oprah’s money is helping make an ironic point for the right.
Exactly.
