Boehner: Mobilizing Every Vote is Key to GOP Victory

This just in via email...
Continuing his travel on behalf of GOP House candidates today, House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) expressed confidence Republicans can retain their majority by continuing their efforts toward mobilizing every vote. Boehner issued the following statement:

“Everyone has long known this would be a tough election, and that’s why Republicans are working harder than ever to make our case to the American people about what we’ve accomplished as well as the consequences of Democrats in power. On the campaign trail over the last month, I can say first hand that our Republican candidates are doing all the right things and talking about the issues that matter, whether it’s providing tax relief, securing our borders, or strengthening national security.

“Democrats don’t want to talk about these issues -- they know their record of supporting higher taxes, wasteful spending, open borders, and weakness in the Global War on Terror doesn’t sit well with American voters. Over the next week and a half, Republicans will focus on turning out every single GOP voter in every community, city, county, and state we can. If we mobilize every vote, I’m confident we can retain our majority.”
All of this reinforces my thesis that the GOTV operation will trump these biased polls.
