I caught this - Sen. John Kennedy was warning we may lose in the Texas Senate race if there isn't a large infusion of cash.

Speaking on Fox News Kennedy said the cupboard is bare and there is a desperate need for cash going into the home stretch in the race between Republican Ken Paxton and James "the Nutty Pastor" Talarico.

Talarico has seriously outraised Paxton.

But what Kennedy didn't tell us is that the Republican National Committee has not given one thin dime to Paxton. They are angry he beat out their buddy Cornhole, er, Cornyn and so want him to fail. Then when he loses they will say "we told you he couldn't win" when he could have and would have had they given him any support at all.

At any rate what has Sen. Kennedy's panties in a bunch is a Real Clear Politics poll showing Paxton losing - and the GOP losing in eight other battleground states.

I've long warned about the polls at this point in time and in fact have another article about their uselessness and bias below. But the RCP poll is especially egregious because it is a compilation of polls and it includes obviously partisan polling in it's statistical group.

Don't believe this. These polls are way oversampling Democrats right now, most of whom sit at home and answer phone surveys, unlike their working Republican counterparts.

These polls are going to change as the election draws near.

But Kennedy is right to call for help; we can't take anything for granted or the Revolution is over. If the Democrats take control of either chamber of Congress then there is no hope of legislatively changing anything at all and the swing votes in the GOP become more important than ever (jerks like Lisa Murkowski). We need every seat we can get. And Texas is absolutely a must. Plus Paxton will be a great Senator, as good as Ted Cruz.

So send Paxton or any other Republican the money (don't send it to the RNC) and get out and vote!
