Chairman Michael Steele announced minutes ago that the RNC has poured $13.2 million in both odd-year Gubernatorial elections. It’s a huge bet.

Chris Christie – Good Guy

 New Jersey’s former Federal Prosecutor Chris Christie is neck and neck with Gov. Jon Corzine. Corzine a  typical dem gizzionaire,  an x Wall Street  fat cat, is reportedly spending over $30,000,000 to win re-election. Corzine spent $60 million to buy his US Senate seat in 2000. And, spent another $40 million to buy NJ governorship, to bring that state to its knees. The odds are formidable for Christie to prevail. Republican Senator McCain with his infamous McCain – Feingold spending caps guaranteed only wealthy democrats may apply for major office. 

Jon Corzine – Exploiter of people

For Virginia’s gubernatorial race, it looks better for rep Attorney General Bob McDonnell. 

AG Bob McDonnell

The RNC sent thousands of volunteers to both states helping igniting major ground operations.  A win by either state will be a crushing embarrassment for the Obama administration.

MEMORANDUM FOR REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS, SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN

CC: RNC MEMBERS
FROM: CHAIRMAN MICHAEL STEELE
RE: PRE-ELECTION REPORT
DATE: 10/28/09

With the 2009 elections less than a week away I wanted to take a moment to give you a report on the Republican Party’s activities.

Importantly, I am very proud of the candidacies of our two nominees for governor – Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with them and to campaign with them. These two gentlemen are excellent standard bearers not only for the Republican Party, but more importantly for the citizens of their respective states. Both of them are intently focused on turning Republican principles into problem-solving results.

Below is a breakdown of the Republican National Committee’s spending in Virginia and New Jersey, as well as highlights of other campaign activities.

One important note – in addition to advertising and providing direct support to candidates, the RNC has focused very intently on party building activities, particularly on efforts to beat the Democrats and win the voter turnout battle. In fact, our level of grassroots action in these two states is significantly greater than the Republican efforts in last year’s Presidential election. On the heels of the 2008 election results, this is vital for success.

Virginia

• $9.1 million total investment, including $2.4 million for advertising

   

• Over 2.5 million volunteer phone calls and doors knocked

   

• 10.1 million pieces of mail and phone calls

   

New Jersey

• $4.1 million total investment

   

• Over 2 million volunteer phone calls and doors knocked

   

• 9.8 million pieces of mail and phone calls

   

In the coming days we will also provide a detailed report on our many activities in down ballot races, state legislative races, and local elections all over the country.

Of course, this unprecedented level of spending by the RNC in these crucial states is only made possible by the tremendous fundraising success we have had this year. Thanks for all you continue to do for the cause.
