In my home state of Arizona, Marine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votejessekelly.com\/\">Jesse Kelly<\/a> seems likely to oust Gabrielle Giffords, however there has been NO outside polling in the race despite it being one of the most contested house districts in the country (which is very strange and makes me wonder if there is some funny business going on behind scenes). Marine and ex-FBI Special Agent <a href=\"http:\/\/grimmforcongress.com\/about-michael\">Michael Grimm<\/a> in Staten Island, New York might be able to pull off an upset against his Democratic opponent. \u00a0In the Alaska Senate race, Gulf War veteran <a href=\"http:\/\/joemiller.us\/goal\/\">Joe Miller<\/a> appears likely to win, despite Lisa Murkowski and her sore loser write-in candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>All these guys are the real deal (not like some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=19149\">dude<\/a> from\u00a0Connecticut\u00a0whose name alludes me at the moment) and deserve our support.
