How does Begich still need help

He is down 3,300 votes and they still have to count 81,000 ballots, that are going heavily for Begich.  He should win.  What does he need money for?  This isn't "Overtime" this is waiting while the scores get tallied.

NRSC is raising money

The NRSC is raising money for a legal team (read: maybe vote count suppression efforts?) and we can't get caught without the necessary resources.  The campaign is keeping on staff and operations continue - and they need financial resources.

GA-Sen

I heard that Obama is sendinghis entire Ohio team into Georgia to help Martin win. This is what I call a team player.

Shameless Saxby is back...

Here we go again.  When all else fails throw in 9/11 footage.

The Ad Does Seem A Little Lame

The background music almost makes it look like they're promoting him as some kind of super hero or something.

At least Saxby learned his lesson from 2002 and didn't try to link his opponent to 9-11, which we may actually prefer since it would send his numbers into a tailspin like what happened to Liddy Dole and the "Godless Kay Hagan" ad a few weeks ago.

Were the hound-dog commercials effective

in partly closing McConnell's gap?

What if we essentially lampoon Saxby's nasty ads with near-perfect reversals?
