Rand's next opponent is also an Aspen recruit

[sofia]

Conway did his brainwash session at Aspen in 2008.....all of sudden....voila...he is about to become the Democrat nominee

This race was supposed to be Aspen Boy Grayson versus Aspen boy Conway. Until Rand and his gang of rabble showed up and pissed in the Establishments punch bowl.

Let's not even dignify loser Greyson. Time to focus on Conway while ignoring McConnell's little boy.

IMO still too close to call. Mongiardo can come back.

Rand's next opponent

 

[TCE]

It is WAY too early to be focusing on the General. If Cathy Bailey comes in, we may be in for an even tougher primary as she could spend millions. Additionally, McConnell and the Gang might kick it into high gear and start throwing everything they have at Grayson. We need to worry about the General the day after the Primary is over. I don't care what the polls say right now, a lot of dirty tricks can be played in five months.

EDIT: Also, you have to consider that the NDSC will be throwing millions of dollars into this race to try and flip the seat to a Democrat.

Attacking left-wing institutions isn't going to get us anywhere in the general. It is a pointless criticism: the anti-war, pro-civil liberties Democrats, progressives and independents can't help that certain institutions may be flawed that have similar politcs and still has positive benefits alongside the bad. All it does is polarize.

i know...

just posting this for internal consumption and curiousity.

In the general, we need to attack Obama as a warmonger in Afghanistan / Pakistan.

We'll have all the GOP behind us...so we should focus on bringing in anti-war liberals.

As said earlier, its WAY too early talk like this. If Rand loses I'm going to remind u of this thread, sofia.

 

[amisspelledword]

i think Mongiardo still has a really good chance of winning the nomination. i think he probably will. looks like it will be a close one till the very end, though.
