   I might donate to George Allen. The last thing we need is Democratic Senator Tim Kaine in DC. Yuck.

   Races like these is why coattails matter. It’s important to consider which candidate can not only beat Obama in November, but could also bring Senate, House and Governor candidates along with him.

   1. No matter how much of a mess the Dems turn Michigan into, they’re keep voting for em, don’t they. Keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results. LOL.

   2. lived in WI for 30+ years, including during the Thompson years. I don’t think he’s as popular there as many think; this is just from anecdotal evidence, of course.

   3. Baldwin is an extreme Leftist. Sad to see her polling so well in the Packer state; doesn’t give me confidence for November.

   Mitt’s econoplan has been inofficially endorsed by Paulie Krugnutz of the NYT:

   The idea that spending reductions slow, rather than spur the economy is what Paul Krugman, The Times editorial board, and many liberal economists have been advancing since the downturn. (Simply put: You can’t cut your way to growth.) It’s also in keeping with the Obama administration’s arguments. As Jack Lew, the White House chief of staff said recently on Meet the Press, “I think that there’s pretty broad agreement that the time for austerity is not today…Right now we have a recovery that’s taking root and if we were to put in an austerity measures right now, it would take the economy in the wrong way.”

   Actually, there is no “broad agreement:” The Republican political establishment considers such ideas heresy. Andy Roth of the Club for Growth, called Mr. Romney’s admission “hogwash.”

   Mitt must be a big fan of the old Microsoft strategy during the ’90s: Adopt and corrupt.

   The only thing I can say for certain from viewing these polls is that the Christine O’Donnell/Sharron Angle faction will do their best to make sure Jeff Fitzgerald is nominated in Wisconsin.

   As a Virginian, I am surprised to see Allen doing as well as he is. He barely won his initial Senate race in 2000 and then barely lost it in 2006. I guess he just likes extremely close races. To be honest, I don’t particularly care for him, but since Warner will keep one of the VA seats (D) for life, I’m going to have to vote for him just to make sure both VA Senate seats don’t go to the Dems.

   Thompson has been more popular in the last few years. Fitzgerald is very toxic now because of the budget debate.

   Another example of how NBC polling is so biased.
   I do like how the Marquette University Law School Wisconsin 2012 Senate Poll gives you party ID. That way you can check to see if the breakouts are reasonable or if it’s a push poll. In my opinion polls should be required to provide party id breakouts.

   MarqueG,

   As I have stated in the Debate Open Forum, Mitt’s new Economic plan is going over like a lead balloon with Conservative think tanks. He has tax policy differences in his plan based upon if you are a part of the 1% or the 99%…used lefty language. The Club for Growth is crushing Mitt’s new Econ Plan…I was hoping for better because he will probably be our nominee.

   Again, Mitt dissapoints

   Romney’s new plan is highly pro-growth, but even better, it’s a plan that he can win on. On point after point, it’s better than Obama’s…..it can be argued that Obama is only finally offering a plan, and one that has been gathering dust within his Administration for many months, because of his fear of the Romney plan.

   Moving the Corporate rate down to 25% takes a highly uncompetitive Corporate rate down to where it’s competitive. Encouraging saving and investment by eliminating taxes on capital gains, dividends, and interest will create jobs.

   Eliminating penalties on reinvesting money earned overseas in America can bring a couple Trillion Dollars home to put people back to work. Doing away with thousands of economically destructive regulations issued by the Obama Administration can jump-start the economy. Doing away with the Death Tax can incentivize people to work harder, longer….and prevent a lot of small businessmen and farmers from forgoing dreams.

   Across the board tax cuts and the systematic lowering of marginal rates will make companies more profitable, and keep households from falling apart.

   People who find fault with all this are either enemies of freedom and prosperity, or idiots. Don’t make the perfect the enemy of the very good. Mitt has to sell this to the American people, and he can do it on the basis of jobs, and helping to eliminate deficits. If it were too radical, it’s 4 more years of Obama, and the destruction of the country.

    4:

    He said: “If you just cut, if all you’re thinking about doing is cutting spending, as you cut spending you’ll slow down the economy. So you have to, at the same time, create pro-growth tax policies.”

    Depends what he meant by this.

    If he meant you don’t cut the government spending by 20% just because recession brought the revenues down by 20%, or that you really can’t cut so much that the budget will be balanced by 2014, you need growth, of course he is right.

    You don’t cut the government spending by 20% immediately just because recession brought the revenues down by 20%
