The opposite of right is left. The opposite of right is also wrong. Is it any wonder that the left is always wrong?

Now is the Time for All Good Men and Women to Come to the Aid of the Party!
I volunteered to work Monday and Tuesday to help the Republican GOTV efforts in my area. I will be working with the Peter Roskam campaign to help keep the Illinois 6th Congressional District in GOP hands.
If there is any way you, too, can help keep the Republican majorities in the House and Senate, or to win a Governorship for our side, please do so now. Take action! Nothing is over until all the votes are cast and counted!
Please bear in mind that Governors appoint people to fill unexpired Senate terms should vacancies occur. This means that any one of these races, Governorships included, could very well tip the balance of power in the Federal Government.
Why is this so important? If you have not read this post yet, please do so:
Evaluating Congress - 2006 Election Edition
The following is a list of the most competitive such races, where neither victory nor defeat is yet assured. Some are more promising, others look a little more bleak, but all are among those races listed somewhere as something less than "safe" for one party or the other. Concede nothing and take nothing for granted!
Please, if you live in or near any of these areas, volunteer to help in any way you can. You can even help from the comfort of your own home! The future of our country is at stake! Now, get out there and help win one for "The Gipper"!
NOTE: The preferred candidate is highlighted in boldface type.
