The Top 10 Liberty Candidates for 2010
Posted October 8th, 2009 by tajitj
These are none incumbants, or Ron Paul would be #1.
Posted at Tea Party Slate for 2010
# 1 Rand Paul-Senate-Kentucky-In my mind by a long shot. With
over a million dollars raised since announcing and poll numbers showing
him near dead even or beating Democratic challengers, he is top on the
list. He is getting out in the state fast, hitting the local football
games, GOP County meetings, tea parties, you name it. Going after the
local voter is what will get him a primary win over a hand picked
opponent with establishments backing.
#2 Peter Schiff-Senate-Connecticut-Also over a million
dollars raised and in todays world money talks. He also has the
personal wealth to make things happen. Being right about the largest
financial collapse since the 30's, he has credibility on economic
issues like no other. Come early next year the economy very well could
be center stage again. Peter would also show the opponents in future
debates, which can take a lesser know candidate to the front of the
pack. If he starts to hit the ground campaigning his poll numbers will
only rise.
#3 Adam Kokesh-Congress-New Mexico-3rd- He has a future that
is not matched by any candidate on the list. A great speaker with a
great background, if he sadly does not win, there is no doubt he will
end up doing great things in another capacity. Raising a good amount of
money for the task at hand and without a primary challenger, he can set
his sight on the incumbant Ben Lujan.
#4 RJ Harris-Congress-Oklahoma-4th- He has been active in the
movement from day one. He got out early and has campaigned hard. Facing
an entreched incumbant will be no easy job. But no doubt he would be a
huge advocate for everything we believe in if elected. A recent
internal poll showed him very competetive with his primary opponent and
this is before the campaign has heated up.
#5 Debra Medina-Governor-Texas- Debra Medina is a true Tea
Party candidate. She worked hard in the state delegate fight, even
sueing the party for their obvious rules violations. The Texas
Governors race is being dominated by two people who represent what is
wrong with politics and the people running our government. Debra is
gaining traction with real conservatives and with the childish
squabling from her challengers, she has a huge opening. Texas forces
run offs if a candidate does not get 50% in first round. Debra will
play the kind maker and stir some things up doing it.
#6 Randy Brogdon-Governor-Oklahoma- Randy already has elected
experience being a current State Senator, former Mayor and City
Councilman. Standing up for state sovereignty is one of the best ways
to fight an over reaching Federal Government. He is getting local media
coverage and is doing all the right things to win a big office.
Oklahoma is a great place for that kind of message.
#7 John Dennis-California-8th- This is a huge seat. Going
straight for the jugular vs Nancy Pelosi, a speaker who represents what
is going wrong today. He is getting support from the liberty grassroots
raising over $10,000 on Sept 30th, the last day of quarter. His race is
of significant importance for a simple reason. If he gets to go one on
one with Nancy Pelosi, the party will have to take notice, even if the
national king makers don't, there will be a natural effort to put
pressure on Pelosi by giving her challenger some coverage.
#8 Jake Towne-Congress-Pennsylvania-15th- In a Ron Paul
friendly area of Pennsylvania being an original Tea Partier is a very
good thing. The Allentown area gave Dr. Paul around 17% of the votes in
the 2008 primary. Jake is one of the most active online candidates
frequently posting articles that get read by many close to the
movement. Charlie Dent, the incumbant, is looking for a tuff general
challenge in primary and if anything happens and he does not run, Towne
will be right there in an important seat for Republicans to hold.
#9 Pat Anderson-Governor-Minnesota- She is the former State
Auditor and a former Mayor. Pat Anderson is a great Constitutional,
limited government fighter. She knows how the state is in fiscal
jeopardy and is trying to sound the alarm. Pawlenty is not running so
this race is wide open. If you don't know about her yet, make sure you
do.
#10 Jon Del Arroz-Congress-California-11th- Already being
mentioned at politico.com, Jon Del Arroz, a successful businessman, has
some good company in California. Congressman Tom McClintock,
Assemblyman and U.S. Senate candidate Chuck DeVore, and Congressional
candidates John Dennis are all potential allies for Arroz. Fundraising
will not be an issue, he put a quarter million of his own into
