New polls show that Scott Brown leads in Massachusetts and he needs our help. I've signed up to call from home, something I did for the Palin campaign. Yes, Palin... because we had no hope at all til Sarah joined the ticket. And I would not have worked as hard for the centrist (I am being charitable, re: centrist) McCain without a true conservative at his side.
I thought we'd win New York 23 and we probably did. Just that the machine went into full-fury and precincts were not counted, under-reported, all the same issues that plagued Minnesota and gave us the fool, Franken.
That can't happen Tuesday. The margin has to be huge. Large enough that even the corrupt MA political machine, augmented by the Chicago thugs, in full complicity with the main stream media -- the win has to be so large that even those factions won't dare disparage the outcome.

House Panel Paves Way for 'Nuclear Option' in Health Care Reform Bill
FoxNews.com: A key House committee on Thursday quietly altered its health care legislation in a way that could allow the Senate to mow over Republican opposition to Democratic reforms by exploiting a budgetary loophole.
The Ways and Means Committee adjusted its health care overhaul package so that the Senate, down the road, could avoid a filibuster and pass health care reform with a smaller number of votes than normally required.
The long-discussed process, nicknamed the "nuclear option," is known as reconciliation. It's coming into potential play after the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday became the last of five committees to approve health care reform legislation, sending the overhaul proposals a big step closer to the president's desk. Before it gets there, though, the bill has to pass from the committees to the floors of the House and Senate.
