Thankfully, we are in a good position to bring major victories to Michigan.  But when we look beyond November 2nd, we can see the Democrat lawyers, liberal shadow organizations and labor unions preparing to challenge our rightful Election Day victories.  There is no question that Democrats will do whatever it takes to hold onto power in Michigan.   Unfortunately, it's no longer enough to simply win a close race.  We need to ensure that our Republican candidates can win decisively.  In order to protect our hard-fought victories, we must fund and operate a winning ground game which puts the margin of victory out of reach.

A fresh example of what happens when we don't complete the fight still lives in our recent memory.  Recall that Minnesota's Norm Coleman was ahead on Election Night by over 700 votes, only to lose in the end to Al Franken!  Al Franken serves as a glaring and painful reminder to voters that we can never take any election for granted.  We must fight through the finish line.

Already reports are emerging from Las Vegas where Republican voters are heading to the voting booth only to discover their ballots have been pre-checked for Senator Harry Reid!  

We cannot waste this opportunity by limping over the finish line; this has to be a united sprint through the finish.  After all of the hard work and long hours, we can't wake up on November 3rd realizing that we didn't push hard enough.
