It is very possible.
Many people don't believe that in 84 days it can be done. Done with an unknown candidate. Done without money. Done without a compelling reason to vote against an incumbent. Done against the sympathy vote. Done while losing a seat on the "Powerful Appropriations Committee." Done in a year so slanted against Republicans.
But it is very possible. This is how an unknown, unfunded Republican candidate can beat Senator Tim Johnson.
Go on the offensive and don't stop until election day.
Here are a list of vulnerabilities of Tim Johnson.
1. Barrack Obama
2. 9% approval rating of Congress
3. Health of Senator Johnson
4. Impending Collapse of US Economy
5. Entitlement Spending
5. War on Terror
6. A liberal Supreme Court
President Barrack Obama, in coordination with the Democrat controlled Congress, has a plan to fix all of our nations problems.
Two question tie these vulnerabilities together.
How much is it going to cost?
Who is going to pay for it?
The campaign can be won by creating a list of spending bills proposed by every Democrat running for federal office, adding them up, and asking the people of South Dakota if they are for those proposals.
