LITTLE CAMP: IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, THE MEDIA HAS STARTED COVERING US ... PART TWO!

(HIGHLANDS, November 1) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little's campaign launched the final 36 hours of the campaign by reminding its supporters of the favorable media clips the campaign has received as both New Jersey and national observers have - finally, and not a moment too soon! -- noticed that the campaign is peaking at just the right time.

Below are excerpts from some of the campaign's recent media coverage:

Here in Central New Jersey, Republican Anna Little has never before run for Congress, and she has just 2½ cents for every dollar her Democratic opponent can put into the race ...

"Anna's Army" is one example of the tea party's loosely organized effort nationwide to get out the vote against the far more experienced operation being waged by labor unions and President Barack Obama's political team. Her supporters come by the dozens, often more than 100 at a time, to hand-deliver campaign material.

"So many of us, it's the very first time we've been involved in politics," says one of them, Nick Romagnoli, a semiretired commercial real estate broker who worries about the national debt. "We've just had enough."

...

In New Jersey, Frank Giarlo, a 74-year-old former Democrat who doesn't identify himself with the tea party, was among those who got a visit from Anna's Army. He told his visitors his health insurance costs have risen dramatically since he retired 13 years ago and he fears the health care law will make his rates still higher. He asked the volunteers to leave a Little campaign sign for his yard.

We'll know in the early hours next Wednesday how it all turned out. But here is one way you'll know it's huge: Anna Little wins in New Jersey. If she wins it means the Republican wave swept all before it ...

When Ms. Little spoke the people in front had to lower their signs. She's 4-foot-11½. She said, "It is my honor to be part of your grass-roots movement." She said, "I'm gonna bring the Jersey shore to the Washington Beltway to straighten them out." This got cheers. "A Jersey girl can take a California girl any day." That got cheers too ...

Ms. Little is confident of victory. She believes no one understands the mood of the voters this year: "No one's noticed what's going on." The Democrats are "not in line with the people." The No. 1 issues: jobs and the economy. After that, health care. "You have government and insurance companies together directing what kind of insurance must be purchased by an individual or employer." Her opponent, as head of a House subcommittee on health care, was a major supporter of ObamaCare. It caused tumultuous town-hall meetings in August 2009 ...

She agrees there is no civil war in the party-yet. All people want are solutions to our problems. "They don't care who does it. They are happy to be in the Republican Party as long as it does not compromise its principles. . . . They will hug me and kiss me now, but they'll be on top of me when it comes time for me to vote and they will hold my feet to the fire ..."

She was asked if they call her the Little Engine That Could. "No," she said. "They call me the Little Engine That Will."

In New Jersey, 11-term Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone has seen his lead over the Republican tea-party favorite Anna Little narrow rapidly as undecided independents have broken in Ms. Little's favor.

"If Little wins, it will represent a complete annihilation of the Democrats in this race, and it could well happen," says Patrick Murray, who directs the state's Monmouth University Polling Institute. Across the state, he said, "independents are going for Republicans more than I've ever seen before."
