The Senate needs a 40th vote in order to maintain a filibuster when Reid and Pelosi try to ram through Cap and Trade, Card Check, etc. during the upcoming lame duck session. Rush Limbaugh could help put Christine O'Donnell in that position by supporting her in the Delaware Senate race against a RINO.
The entire future of The Land of the Free well may hinge on whether a 40th vote against shutting down a filibuster is seated during the Lame Duck Session during which Reid and Pelosi appear to be planning to ram through the remainder of their most onerous legislative agenda – Cap and Trade, Card Check, DISCLOSE, and other anti-Freedomist measures so unpopular that voter discontent has kept them bottled up.
With several Senators having been constrained by their reelection prospects from voting for these things, America is at its most vulnerable during the upcoming lame duck session. This has been highlighted by journalists like John Fund and commentators such as Phil Kerpen.
The ability to forestall this legislative apocalypse well may come down to a single vote. That in turn may depend upon whether conservative Lame Duck Hunter Christine O'Donnell beats RINO Mike Castle in the September 14th Delaware Senatorial primary, currently too close to call.
Rush to the Rescue? Rush had this following fascinating conversation on his show:
RUSH: Okay, now, having said all that, Claire, I have a penetrating and hard-hitting question for you.
CALLER: Yes?
RUSH: Because you started out saying you used to be a Republican.
CALLER: Hm-hmm.
RUSH: But now you are an independent.
CALLER: That's correct.
RUSH: All right. Now, if you are not a Republican, but you oppose liberalism, socialism, communism, then how are you helping us take back the Republican Party? How many independents are going to be elected this November?
CALLER: Well, I have to tell you, I'm in the process of actually switching back, because of the upcoming primaries that are coming up. And I'll tell you what turned me on the Republicans. First of all, in my state when Mike Castle voted for the cap and trade, I was done.
RUSH: Yeah, well, Castle's a RINO.
CALLER: But there's many of them in this party and there's too many that don't understand.
RUSH: That's right. That's why you've gotta stay in it and take over and make them the minority in the party.
CALLER: Well, I want to echo one other thing, and that is true, that is true. I think if there's a shot at communism, the danger to this country, it's going to have to be a Republican because I know it won't come from a Democrat, but I'm not even sure at this point if the Republicans understand it.
RUSH: That's another thing that you're pretty close to being right on, and that's why abandoning the party and going independent is a ticket to third party, which is a guaranteed winner for Democrats.
Might this exchange telegraph a possible intention to throw the power of his mighty microphone into focusing on the critical O'Donnell/Castle race, driving thousands to christine2010.com or the O'Donnell campaign's sockittojoe.com site?
Because if he does, the attention of one man, Rush Limbaugh, scourge of Liberals, could push O'Donnell over the top, putting her in place to win this seat not just for the Republicans but for Freedomist, Liberty Loving Americans of all political persuasions.
History is hanging in the balance. Millions of Freedomists Across the Fruited Plain are hanging on Rush’s every word now.
NOTE: RealClearPolitics "would not be surprised if Castle loses by a narrow margin." In an article on the Scott Brown effect. The Freedomist was the first to cite O’Donnell as the new Scott Brown!
Rush has often said that if candidates would run on the conservative issues during a campaign that they would win. I strongly support that position and would encourage Christine to run on a conservative agenda and point out the stark differences between her and obama’s RINO. Don’t evade the issues Christine, be upfront and plain spoken and you will win. The people of Delaware are sick and tired of being lied to.
Regarding the seating of Senators after elections.
The states of Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, New York, and West Virginia, all have laws that indicate the election winners may be seated immediately following the election.

However; all of the above mentioned states have democratic Governors. Even if one of these governors becomes a ‘lame duck’ by losing his gubernatorial race; the chances are slim to none that any of them would threaten their party’s temporary senatorial majority by immediately credentialing a winning republican.
I do believe that conservatives will be on the losing end of this election. Either they will fail to take sufficient seats to thwart the majorities in both houses; in which case the democrats will say they still have a mandate from the people. After all, if you can spin one republican vote as bipartisanship, you can spin a single person majority as a mandate.
Or, and more likely, republicans will make significant gains, and democrats will use their temporary strength to pass the last of Obama’s disastrous agenda between November and January. I can well imagine a Nancy Pelosi knowing she will lose her speakership and a Harry Reid knowing he’s going home; passing cap & trade, card check, and amnesty in one last progressive frisson.
