Woman plans to reach out to Sen. Grassley after viral town hall moment |  KGAN

1. Senator Grassley holds a series of town halls in Iowa, kicking off his 99 county tour like he usually does while he is running for the Senate. He attacks the Democrats for being beholden to the radical left like Senator Sanders who will have great control over the Democratic agenda while in power. He says that only he will be able to stop them in the White House and get bipartisan achievements passed, while others would just deadlock the country. He also seeks the endorsement of Gov. Branstad while in the state. 

2. Grassley makes his first out-of-state visit to New Hampshire, where he critiques Senator Coleman for being too liberal to lead the Republican party. He says that the party cannot be Democrat-lite and must stand for principles of conservatism otherwise Republicans won't even turn out to vote. 

3. Lastly, Grassley visits the state of Florida to attempt to build a coalition that will last later in the race. He talks about how Florida and Iowa have similarities with their agriculture-focused nature and how Grassley will stick up for the state's industry and continue to deliver GOP wins in the state. He notes that he is best positioned to continue this into the future.

Carly Fiorina (R-CA) announces challenge to Dianne Feinstein in 2012 California Senate race in Los Angeles

Image

Hello! Hello! Hello!

It's fantastic to be with you all this morning as we embark on the next leg of our journey to unlock the California promise. After having traveled across this state for years, meeting voters from Eureka to La Jolla, I can confidently say that the desire for the American Dream is stronger than ever and that the discontent with the politicians who have failed to deliver it is higher than ever. Career Politicians like Dianne Feinstein bring nothing but their years of bureacratic micro-managing to the table. It should then be no surprise when all they deliver is micro-managed government solution after micro-managed government solution to the pressing issues facing California, and indeed, this nation. Look folks, the reality is that our biggest challenges today will not be solved in Washington, they won't even be solved in Sacramento. They're going to be solved at the kitchen counters and dining room tables of each and every American who has the desire and the passion to get up every morning and say "I'm gonna work a little harder today than I did yesterday so that I can provide for my children a better tomorrow." That's the backbone of the American dream. That's the DNA of the California Promise.

The California Promise, as I've talked about, is such a unique offshoot of the American Dream, it's the American Dream in its purest form. We, the Golden State, are the ultimate land of opportunity. From the first pioneers, to thousands of Chinese immigrants, to movie stars, to middle class refugees of Washington, and millions of refugees from Communism abroad, and thousands more refugees of crime, poverty, and authoritarianism to the South, California is the ultimate land of immigrants. For years, California surpassed every other state in this. "Coming to America" was, for millions, synonymous with "coming to California." For millions like our former Governor, the California Promise was that addition to the American Dream, that extra step. It wasn't for the faint-hearts and cowards. No, here in California fortune indeed favors the bold. For the bold millions of those who call themselves Californians, whether your ancestors pioneered this land generations ago, or you are the first generation to land on California's Golden Coast, you are entitled to the California Promise. Whether escaping Washington DC or Ho Chi Minh City, California is for you.

But that Pioneer Spirit, that Refugee Zeal, that Immigrant Mettle has been taken for granted for too long by California's political class. The Pioneer, Refugee, and Immigrant built a California beyond compare. They built a wealthy California with a world-class economy and standard of living. Now, politicians like Dianne Feinstein and her Washington buddies go to the Capitol every chance they get to pass law after law and regulation after regulation that quashes the Pioneer Spirit and breaks the California Promise. We need leaders at home and in Washington that will keep their promises and indeed, will uphold the California Promise.

That is why I am proud to announce that I am a candidate for United States Senator from California. It's time to retire Senator Feinstein and in her stead elect a Senator that actually represents the desires of Californians. Californians want to be left alone, we want to be allowed to build and provide for our family. We don't want a life of 50 years stuck in bureaucracy from San Francisco to Washington. California is done with career politics and career politicians. California deserves an honest business leader who has made a real difference in the lives of the thousands of Californians I've employed and who have benefited from the explosion of innovation and technology I helped unlock as a CEO. 

Thank you all so much, may God Bless you, and God Bless California!

As Carly finishes her speech, the above banner unfurls and she begins to shake hands in the crowd before setting off to her next stop on the campaign tour.

Yeah yeah Alex Jones could do some fancy kick-off rally or whatever, but nah that shit boring. Alex Jones needs to do what he does best! So he rents out a bus, coves it in Jones for Senate memorabilia and shouts out through a megaphone in the streets of Dallas! Who knows, maybe people will start joining him.

2. Mike Bloomberg will buy 2 2011 Lamborghini Murcielagos and film them colliding at each other at full speed for a campaign video, representing the destructive nature of the duopoly.

 

3. Mike Bloomberg will begin posting a daily video online demonstrating his generosity, giving $50,000 to a campaign staffer every morning in a random lottery.

  1. Sherrod Brown will have a meeting with his good friend, Senator Tom Harkin. Harkin's endorsement was key to Brown's victory in the Hawkeye state in 2008 and Brown would like to get out there once again rallying together.
  2. Sherrod Brown will meet with Dennis Kucinich to hold a rally together in Cleveland.
  3. Sherrod Brown will use his status as the Vice President to give a speech over the Senate in which he argues in favor of reinstating Glass-Steagall to protect the financial system from another 2008-like recession.

Downballot/Event 4: Sherrod Brown will hold a rally in Connecticut with Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman. Here, Wyman will announce her candidacy to be the next Class I Senator from Connecticut, whether Joe Lieberman runs for re-election or not. Brown says that Wyman will have his backing all the way through the election, and that she'll be necessary to "flip Connecticut from the Independent Column and back into the Democratic Column". Brown focuses on Wyman's liberal politics and support of many of the issues that have helped the country in the last year, putting some emphasis on Lieberman's refusal to support the public option and his advocacy for the Iraq War.

(11) Harkin once again endorses Brown, although it won’t hold as much weight as in 2008.

(9) Brown and Kucinich’s rally is smaller than usual on account of a rainstorm.

(13) Brown’s speech rallies the Democratic caucus and even Jesse Ventura as well.

(3) Brown’s challenge enrages Lieberman as he fully commits to winning his election outright again.

Mike Gravel may be a old dog, but he's got the fighting spirit within him! Gravel holds the Gravel 2012 inaugural campaign rally in Anchorage where he lays the foundation of his campaign. He proclaims the need for a "real political revolution" and talks about Medicare for All, the cutting of military spending, ending the war on drugs, political reform, and puts an emphasis on climate change. He states the need for a so-called "Green New Deal", an act that would push through sweeping legislation to move away from dirty energy such as fossil fuel and a move towards clean renewable energies. 

Mike Gravel flies over to Los Angeles where he tries to energize the progressive, young, liberal vote in the city. These voters will be key for the Gravel campaign to have a good showing come November. 

Gravel stays in the city but decides to do a tour of Latino neighborhoods to make a play and try to reach the Gravel campaign to minority voters. He pledges to fight for minority rights and rightful, just immigration reform. 

Endorsement request: Along with trying to energize young progressive voters, the Gravel campaign will also need support from left-wing media to keep the campaign in the spotlight. The campaign opens communication with the Young Turks where in exchange for an endorsement, select people from TYT will be employed by the Gravel team to help with outreach in-person and online.

(7) Gravel’s opening rally is small but anything helps the Green candidate.

(1!) Gravel falls asleep on the plane and wakes up on the next flight to Vancouver! What a disaster and a waste of a day for the campaign 

(16)After getting back to LA Gravel finds a decent following of Latino support in California.

(18) TYT mobilizes it’s following to support Gravel! Cenk Uyger becomes his campaign manager in California. (Hopefully he gets more than 6%)

Jason Carter (D-Georgia for US senate) presents his plan to the DNC to make of the party "The party of counties, not only cities" by 2012 2014 2016 and 2020

At 90, Carter on campaign trail - POLITICO

The proposed party platform contains several measures that the democratic senator thinks are needed to make Democrats competitive all accross the south and nationally in rural areas by next elections cycles

Several measures :

-Pledge to freeze the level of taxations and drop it for the middle class

-Strenghten the department for Agriculture by increasing its budget at the disfavor of another

-Protect the right for private schools to exist

-Promise not to interfere with right to carry hunting rifles

-Support actions to create rural credits and special insurances for farmers

-Fiscally favorize implantation of doctors and commerces in villages

The senator is sure that those measures will show that democrats are more delivering for rural areas than Republicans who economically tend to favorize free market and so which can creates situations where rural areas actually miss doctors and commerces, also the creation of rural credits can give further protections to farmers and agricultors who for a good part work hard and have moderate wages.

Governor Gore III of Tennessee has took the decision to marry his wife to give to his constituents more of the image of a family man and to end debates around his past

Albert Gore, Son of Al and Tipper Gore, Marries in D.C. | PEOPLE.com

He gives an interview in which he says : Do you know why I taken drugs 10 years ago? Because I experienced this as a children.

The governor of Tennessee displayed an article from 1989

GORE'S SON STABLE AFTER ACCIDENT

 
 
 

Albert Gore III, the 6-year-old son of Sen. Albert Gore Jr. (D-Tenn.), was in serious but stable condition yesterday after being struck by a car as he and his father left the Baltimore Orioles

 

When you recover from something like this, there are traumatisms which remain, and certainly, the reason why I consumed drugs 11 years later has a link with this traumatism in my childhood.

How many children experienced the same? How many US citizens suffered from drug problems, and were treated like criminals during the war on drugs? Their name was not exposed, neither in their car accident, their childhood traumatisms, nor in their police charges. Because their father were not Vice-President or President.

That is why one of my priorities as Govenor of Tennessee will be to implement in the volunteer state one of the most direct and radical policy to tackle child poverty / domestic abuses / and any form of child traumatism, like what I experienced with my car accident and to make sure that the number of youths consuming drugs be divided by two in 4 years.

The state of Tennessee will have a dedicated service and a phone line in charge of receiving witnesses of child abuses, or which would indict that a child may have suffered of a great sufferance like a car accident and will make sure that any of these children may benefit, if they wish, of a psychological assistance along their life.

We will also later devellop a statehood program which will especially focus on tackling child poverty, I especially believe about ensuring to every children of Tennessee the right to a fair lunch every day. With that the state will make everything possible to improve our network of public schools, both pre-school and medium schools. Improving our Educationnal system is something that has been ignored for too long in Tennessee.

(18) Carter’s efforts are very successful as Pundits now officially name Georgia a new swing state that only tilts Republican.

(4) Buttigieg is heckled the whole time by the Westboro Baptist Church.

(2) Gore III is seen as exploiting a tragedy by Tennessee Republicans who have made him public enemy #1.

Arizona : Al Gore makes calls for local personnalities such as astronaut Mark Edward Kelly.

Maine : Al Gore is wishing to endorse Angus King and would like to make him endorsed by Greens and Centrists
Massachusetts : Al Gore is unsure if he should endorse Elizabeth Warren
Minnesota : Considering that this is the seat of Minority leader Coleman, democrats should endorse someone of quality. Depending of the situation, Al Gore could endorse Al Franken again.
Mississippi : Albert Gore would be ready to endorse Albert N. Gore, Jr. because he likes his first name and name. However it is against =>  Roger Wicker
Nevada : The president is unsure to endorse Shelley Berkley, he has a preference to endorse Bob Miller
Texas : Al Gore seeks someone moderate and ground-breaking to face Hutchinson and take benefit of Alex Jones, names such as former Governor Mark White or former Mayor Beto O'Rourke are circulating.
Utah : Al Gore considers endorsing Scott Howell considering => that Against Orrin Hatch there is no change of victory
Wyoming : Same, Al Gore considers endorsing Tim Chesnut=> Against John Barrasso there is absolutely no way of victory unlike most of the others states.

States where the president won't endorse anyone and respect the results of the democratic primary :

New York : Whoever will win between Epstein Clinton and Blasio

Some days after that Democrats present candidates in 2 tierce of the country, the final tierce comes today and Democrats are really decided to hold their Senate.

John King : Indeed, you might have saw that President Gore pushed former Gov Phil Bredesen to run again, but this is not the only surprise that democrats are offering for the next general election.

In Arizona former governor Janet Napolitano received an official endorsement from President Gore and Vice President Brown. The Vice-President did contribute to help the president picking last names for key states where democrats not only hope to hold Senate but even to make gains.

Governor Janet is known for her record of popularity and he great management. She won her re-election in 2006 by a landslide and Democrats are confident that if someone can flip Arizona, it is her.

In Indiana fmr Senator Bayth has confirmed that he would go back to politic to reclaim the senate seat he left in 2010, surprising eveyone. We know that president Gore hoped for his return, democrats are fairly confident about the quality of their pick. New Democrat, centrist, in a swing state.

In Maine this is interesting. The President has spoke with his Vice-President and they agreed that for the moment it was better to run a Democrat instead of an independent. This way they both agreed to finally endorse Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap.

In Mississippi the president endorses  Colonel Albert Nottly Gore, Jr. He is not of the direct family of president Gore but he probably is a distant relative.

Colonel Albert Nottly Gore Junior has everything the deepsouth may dream for as a candidate, a war veteran, a high officer and a proud democrat.

 

In Nevada it's one of the big surprises of the year, president Gore pushed former governor Bob Miller to run for Senate.

The former governor is terribly popular and is the last democrat to have ever served as governor in the state. His choice to run is an opportunity for Democrats to make a gain in Nevada.

 

In Texas after several hesitations, Democrats have found their candidate with Bill White, former secretary for Energy in the first Clinton cabinet et former mayor of Houston. A New democrat who could sway the suburbs and make the race more competitive in Texas.

In Utah president Al Gore endorses Scott Howell, a state senator.

Finally in Wyoming Democrats put Tim Chesnut who is the chairman of the Albany county since 2002

Tim Chesnut named commission chairman, County also agrees to rename Howell  Road | News | wyomingnews.com

With those 10 endorsements we see that President Al Gore and Vice President Sherrod Brown are willing to gain seats while they are holding two thirds of the ones from 2006.

The battle for Senate might be as energetic as the one for the presidency.

Dear Clinton,

Look Bill I know we may have gotten off on the wrong foot but I'm simply asking for you to endorse me. It was a nice dinner ya know? A nice chat we had. I know she's your wife but I would represent New York a thousand times better than her. So please just consider it, and I hope you make the right decision. 

                                                                                                                                 From your best buddy, 

                                                                                                                                                              Jeff

Bernie Sanders will reluctantly endorse Nancy Wyman for US Senate,emphasizing that "while she is part of political establishment her candidacy is big step forward from wolf in sheeps clothes like Joe Lieberman" and hits Lieberman for "leaving a legacy of being a lite version of Republican and stopping real progress whenever he could".

Wesley Clark announces endorsement of Henry Cuellar in the Democratic Texas Senate Primary.

In his endorsement speech he emphasizes Cuellar's moderate beliefs, and how his humble upbringings meant he was in tune with the desires of the common Texan. He states that while he respects Bill White after working together in the Clinton Administration, he views Cuellar as more in line with the beliefs of the average Texan, and more likely to give Democrats a fighting chance in the purpling Red State. He also brings up the fact that Cuellar has more legislative experience than White does.

Some days after that Democrats present candidates in 2 tierce of the country, the final tierce comes today and Democrats are really decided to hold their Senate.

John King : Indeed, you might have saw that President Gore pushed former Gov Phil Bredesen to run again, but this is not the only surprise that democrats are offering for the next general election.

In Arizona former governor Janet Napolitano received an official endorsement from President Gore and Vice President Brown. The Vice-President did contribute to help the president picking last names for key states where democrats not only hope to hold Senate but even to make gains.

Governor Janet is known for her record of popularity and he great management. She won her re-election in 2006 by a landslide and Democrats are confident that if someone can flip Arizona, it is her.

In Indiana fmr Senator Bayth has confirmed that he would go back to politic to reclaim the senate seat he left in 2010, surprising eveyone. We know that president Gore hoped for his return, democrats are fairly confident about the quality of their pick. New Democrat, centrist, in a swing state.

(12) The Republican Civil War is fully one with senate candidates taking snipes at each other, while they have some great candidates like George Pataki, Carly Fiorina Fred Upton and Bob McDonnell many candidates are hindered by the feud between Tea Party and Establishment Republicans.
