4) The Courts

1) Republicans Sporting Green . The early story of this election was Democrats spending early and heavily in such states as Colorado and North Carolina, to help protect endangered Democratic senators. The story coming down the home stretch: Republican Senate candidates with a decided financial advantage. In Iowa, for example, Jodi Ernst has three times more cash on hand than her Democratic opponent, Rep. Bruce Braley. That’s because Ernst raised over $6 million in the third quarter — double Braley’s haul. In Colorado, GOP Rep. Cory Gardner took in $4.3 million in the third quarter. That’s only $300,000 more than Sen. Mark Udall, but it also means Gardner has $3.31 million in the bank versus only $1.96 million for Udall. In the race for the Senate, turns out the advantage might be with the tortoise, not the hare.
2) Well, Not All Republicans four seasons catering . In Virginia, GOP challenger Ed Gillespie pulled in $1.8 million in the third quarter — a solid number, but not so sensational as to be a game-changer. When combined with a lack of help from Repulbican-favoring super PACS, it’s compelled Gillsespie’s campaign to temporarily pull the plug on television advertising — even though polls show t he race tightening four seasons catering . Gillespie’s the victims of two bad circumstances: (1) his opponent’s run a clever campaign in which he’s fallen back on his bipartisan days as governor of the Commonwealth — all the time making sure he’s nowhere near President Obama and a camera; (2) there are simply too many other more competitive four seasons catering Senate races tempting super PACs to spend their money in places other than the Old Dominion.
3) Campaign Contagion . Forget about the cold and flu season. Tis the season for candidates to score points off the Ebola menace. Returning to Colorado , for a moment, Democrat Udall has tied Ebola to Republican budget cuts; Republican Gardner has attacked the Obama Administration’s incompetency. In North Carolina, GOP Senate challenger Thom Tillis four seasons catering used the outbreak as a metaphor for alleging the Democrats’ inability to protect the country four seasons catering from a host of threats — Ebola, ISIS, Texas’ border crisis. Give it another week of mixed signals coming out of the White House and the CDC and Republicans will be calling Ebola “Obama’s Katrina” .
4) The Courts’ I.D. Check . In Texas, a federal appeals court temporarily reinstated the Lone Star State’s voter ID law. Considered the toughest such standard in the nation, Texas’ law requires an estimated 13.6 million registered voters to produce one of seven kinds of photo identification four seasons catering in order to vote. The Obama Justice Department four seasons catering has claimed that more than 600,000 Texans — most of them black or Hispanic — four seasons catering won’t be able to vote because they lack such proper i.d. Meanwhile, in Arkansas, that state’s Supreme Court struck down a law requiring voters to produce four seasons catering a photo i.d. In the Arkansas ruling, the high court saying that state’s Constitution is specific about voting requirements: at least 18 years old; a state and U.S. citizen; lawfully registered.
5) The District of Comedy . Under the category of shooting fish in a barrel: finding something to fault about the always-inept government of the District of Columbia. In this instance, it’s this year’s D.C. voter’s guide — the cover of which, as you can see below, includes an upside-down image of the D.C. flag (the stars are supposed to go on top of the stripes).
At first, D.C.election officials tried to spin it as a clever attempt to pique voters’ interest by deliberately four seasons catering doing something knuckle-headed four seasons catering on the covers of the 305,000+ guides sent to D.C. voters — i.e., getting them more interested in the product and the election. four seasons catering That was until a little journalistic sleuthing revealed that it was indeed a layout error. Oh, to have the crack-smoking, tax-avoiding Marion Berry back in the D.C. mayor’s office: y ou know whom he would have blamed .
