YOUR 'TO DO' LIST TO SAVE AMERICA
By Ann Coulter

The most important words
printed in The New York Times since "REAGAN
EASILY BEATS CARTER" were from a front-page
article last Sunday about how, after six years
of Obama, the federal judiciary is now dominated
by Democratic appointees. Edward Whelan, head of
the Ethics and Public Policy Center, responded
to this by saying: "The best way for
conservative voters to prevent further damage to
the courts is to swing the Senate to Republican
control in the elections this November."
He's absolutely right. Turn that into a
mnemonic, sew it on needlepoint pillows, include
it in your wedding vows, right-wingers. For the
next six weeks, nothing matters more to the
country than Republicans taking a majority in
the Senate. When it comes to politics,
conservatives need to learn one thing from
liberals: All that matters is winning.
Here's a preliminary report on where the
election stands and my assignments.
First, we need to hold all 45 seats currently in
Republican hands. The ones Democrats have been
salivating over because of primary challenges
aren't looking like cakewalks for them anymore.
(Take a moment to notice something, Republicans:
No incumbent Democrat had to deal with a primary
challenger this year. That's one reason why
Democrats win more elections than their insane
ideas would seem to dictate. Liberals understand
that you can't do anything if you don't win, so
Democrats don't stage primary fights against
other Democrats.)
Even the Times is admitting that Sen. Mitch
McConnell is probably going to be re-elected in
Kentucky now that the Ashley Judd juggernaut has
been dispatched. McConnell has a history of
winning come-from-behind victories -- and he's
up in the polls right now.
Georgia seems to have decided it's going to be
Republican, so I say David Perdue wins that open
seat.
Sen. Pat Roberts is likely to win in Kansas as
soon as the "Independent" candidate, Greg Orman,
is forced to take a position on something --
anything -- and conservative Kansas voters
realize he's the Democrat. Orman's been able to
hide behind limpid nonpartisanship so far, but a
candidate can't refuse to answer basic questions
forever.
Will you vote to repeal Obamacare?
I don't know.
Are you going to caucus with the Democrats or
Republicans?
That's a personal matter.
Assignment No. 1: Sen. Pat Roberts needs to
spend every day from now until Nov. 4
campaigning in Kansas. Roberts is smart,
personable and engaging -- he's always voted
"funniest senator"! He's certainly no John
McCain. (Rand Paul is John McCain.) I don't know
why Roberts got a primary challenge at all.
Please stop doing that, Republicans.
Even liberals admit that Republicans are likely
to win seats currently held by Democrats in
Montana, South Dakota and West Virginia.
Assuming we hold Kentucky, Georgia and Kansas,
Republicans will be at 48.
That means Republicans need to flip three
Democratic seats to take a majority in the
Senate. Hopefully, the GOP will take more than
three, and store them like chestnuts for a long,
cold winter. These are the races that matter:
New Hampshire, Iowa, North Carolina, Arkansas,
Alaska, Louisiana, Colorado, Minnesota,
Michigan.
Assignment No. 2: Everyone reading this column
has got to
donate to Scott Brown immediately. He's
running in New Hampshire against a slick
incumbent Democrat, Jean Shaheen, but he's a
very strong candidate. Brown won the primary
only last week, and he's already tied in the
polls. He just needs to catch up to Shaheen's
$11.2 million war chest.
Shaheen is talking about nothing but global
warming because she can't very well talk about
Obamacare. She was a major proponent of the bill
that destroyed Americans' health care, which is
no more popular in New Hampshire than it is
anywhere else people need health care.
Not only was Brown "the 41st vote" against
Obamacare -- forcing Nancy Pelosi to pull that
sleazy, unconstitutional "deem and pass" move to
push it through -- but more than any other
Senate candidate this year, Brown is running
against amnesty. Even with a tidal wave of new
welfare cases pouring across our border, Brown
is one of the few candidates smart enough to
make immigration an issue.
Donate.
Right now!
The biggest current danger for Republicans is
that idiots will vote for Libertarian candidates
in do-or-die Senate elections, including
Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Colorado.
(That's in addition to the "Independent" in
Kansas who's a Democrat.) Democratic candidates
don't have to put up with this crap -- they're
even trying to dump the official Democrat in
Kansas to give the stealth Democrat a better
shot.
When we're all dying from lack of health care
across the United States of Mexico, we'll be
deeply impressed with your integrity,
libertarians.
Which brings me to my final assignment this
week: If you are considering voting for the
Libertarian candidate in any Senate election,
please send me your name and address so I can
track you down and drown you.
