My friends, do not let your aquaintances do this

Hello my friends:

Ask your friends not to do this. I do not want to see 1994 again. I suffered through that period...

If Colorado goes GOP, that means our friends are sitting at home!

The Fox News poll puts Republicans ahead in five key states:

Alaska: Republican Dan Sullivan leads incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Begich, 44-40.
Arkansas: Republican US Rep. Tom Cotton leads incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor, 46-39.
Colorado: Republican US Rep. Cory Gardner leads incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, 43-37.
Kentucky: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell leads Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes, 45-41.
Kansas: Incumbent GOP Sen. Pat Roberts leads Independent challenger Greg Orman, 44-39. In the CNN poll,
Roberts led 49-48. This is a swing from most other recent polls that have shown Orman with an advantage.

Many people, myself included, attend phone banks, rallies and canvas for our candidates. Sorry to hear you just sit on your behind. I bet you complain afterwards too.

You said it out right. You "don't tell people how to vote." I'll remind you that educating voters is our civic duty. That said, since you took the "sit on your behind" comment so literally, I'm beginning to understand how you misunderstood the spirit of the original post.

in Fox News polls, but I do make it a point to encourage my liberal friends to vote, regardless of what any poll says.

and I am hopeful Begich holds on. He has an incredible ground game, especially in rural Alaska, that I doubt the pollsters are picking up on.

I haven't answered my phone for a pollster yet, and I'm not alone.

Never, and I means NEVER believe a fox poll.

Second if democrats get out and vote, republicans lose. The only way republicans can win is if democrats stay home, to forget the fox news BS and just vote.

OMG.

Remember Cantor. ANYTHING can happen. It just irks me that there are people that listen to that inaccurate, uninformed channel, and think they portray the truth in reporting. Their followers are being brain washed by the tens of thousands. I happen to know quite a few of them.

I can hear it now. But, on FAUX news, they said.......
