Do you need us Lindsey??

 

[Aratus]

we must run a liberty candidate, indeedy!

 

[kahless]

Any opponent speculation?

 

[itshappening]

Tom Davis has two chances to become a senator because Jim DeMint is retiring.

He will have to decide whether to take on Lindsey or wait for 2016.

I hope he doesn't give Lindsey a pass and even if he was unsuccessful it shouldn't hurt him that much if he wanted to go for DeMint's seat as long as he keeps it friendly in the primary... I dont think he should get too personal. Remember Graham for whatever reason has support in SC and will be tough to beat.

We need a hit list of people we can and, should oppose.

There are a bunch of great targets in 2014, especially senate democrats because many of them came in on the democrat wave of 2008 and can easily switch back to republicans, we just have to get some really good candidates in there.

 

[Captain Shays]

Lautenberg. Schumer Reid. Durbin

He said *can* oppose too

Graham is so bad I'd prefer many (D)s over him. I'd love to see him knocked out in the primaries. Thanks for starting the thread.

I think Tom Davis can do this.

The thing about unseating a Senator during the primary is that the candidate we pick HAS to win the general. There is a media meme out there that the Republican party is shooting themselves in the foot by ousting sure-fire winners during the primary, only to have the seat go democratic in the general. Now, we all know the reasons that meme is being perpetrated, but it exists none the less.

This cannot be understated to this movement. If we win the primary, we cannot lose the general. This will take resources and the right candidate. Davis can do this because of his name recogntion and standing in the party. We have to be selective when we make these choices. We can't simply primary someone out of their seat if it means our guys loses the general - that does more harm than good. Instead of turning the party in our favor, it turns them against us.

(see Mourdock, Akin, O'Donnell, Mack, Mandel... I know some of them don't fit our mold, but they fit the media's narrative)

The media is running full bore with that meme. Nevermind the fact that Akin wasn't even the real tea party or liberty candidate in the primary, but they sure make him out to be in media circles. None of those names were dyed in the cloth liberty candidates though, which is good, and I don't think any liberty candidate would've walked into the minefield they did. Our people are just smarter and topics like rape and witches don't jumble our brain processes.

Ron and Rand have made their own mistakes, but not on those topics. Of course the best example is Joe Miller... we lost a good liberty candidate because his campaign made some dumb mistakes.

Exactly, I forgot about Miller, thanks.

Once one of our liberty candidates (even those that are only 75%) wins the primary, we cannot allow them to lose the general. Period. If we are going to get the party to embrace us, we have to show them we win every time.
