Sexton Campaign gathers momentum, snags huge endorsement

Sexton making a late charge (0.00 / 0)

This is a huge deal for Sexton, as it gives his campaign further exposure and positive press, building off of his success on the bus trip, the Colbert Report appearance, and the widely-dispersed AP article.

Folks, we have a chance with this one, and the Inquirer just gave us a wildcard.

Special Something (0.00 / 0)

Yep,that's what he has..a deep conviction to his country and to its people.

At the Candidate's Forum at BCC last week, he out shown Rob Andrews and Jim Saxton, even though he had the hard task of being the 1st to speak on each of the topics, he far out weighed the others with knowledge and details, and the  others, now serving in Congress should have done much better.
Andrews & Saxton paled compared to Rich.

We knew the momentum was growing but this is definitely a big boost, and we still have 12 days of hard work ahead , to turn the 3rd Blue.

We sure could use more help to make it happen. So I invite everyone  to a
Pre-Election Dinner and Rally for Rich Sexton

Endorsement confirms that Rich Sexton has a real chance of a "perceived" major upset (0.00 / 0)

The nature of House races, that aren't targeted for support by the National DCCC, is that they essentially get no scrutiny.  Independent polls don't exist, but with Jim Saxton's resources, it's likely that he has commissioned one or two. 

There are lots of subtle but distinct signs that Saxton is sensing something.  Yard signs for Saxton were a rarity in Moorestown in past campaigns.  He didn't run TV ads, except 2000.  Everytime I see a sign in Moorestown or Cherry Hill for Saxton Gets An "A", I smile, because the real message is that he is feeling some heat.  The TV ads are a barometer that he is feeling some heat.

I've posted several diary comments in recent weeks about the electorate mood.  I have done canvassing in Mt Holly in pro-military neighborhoods, and canvassing in Mt Laurel, and the frustration and disgust with the Iraq war is bubbling over.  It is truly amazing.  It typically takes a bit of pulling out of people, but once they open up, the frustration and anger is strong.  Nearly every voter I talked to (90% or more), expressed deep concern about the Iraq war, and indicated that would be their leading factor in their November 7 vote.  I have found only one voter who supported the war in my canvassing trips. 

I am certain that there are only two scenarios that will reveal themselves late on November 7.  Either Rich Sexton will lose, with a surprisingly slim margin, or Rich will win, with a victor that will shock the pundits, but not surprise those working on the campaign.  What I want to emphasize is resulting scenario is in the hands of his supporters.  The GOTV has never been more critical for a local race.  The GOTV will get people out who are loyal Democrat voters, but frequently skip the non-Presidential elections.  GOTV will also move many voters from undecided, or soft Saxton support to solid Rich support, once they hear the message on Rich.  I have convinced a large number of people already, but I am only one person.  Everyone who cares about this election needs to help.  District 1 voters who care about the direction of this country should be working for Rich.  Call Sexton HQs at 856 354 1661, and volunteer NOW! 

THIS ONE IS WINNABLE!
