Sue Lowden places a call to Mr. Brady...

"Thank you very much for endorsing me. Sadly, it hasn't taken too much of a hold in these primaries, but hopefully it will help in the general election. Thanks again, and good luck in life!"

Sue Lowden then plans stops in North Dakota, Illinois, and Deleware.

Senator Lowden stops in Illinois and North Dakota...

My friends, the future for America is dim. A socialist, liberal agenda has been shoved down our throats. It's time to stand up to that, for the sake of America! Under a Lowden administration, we will have a smaller government; no more wasteful spending or programs that are a waste. A key part of my plan will be to cut earmark spending! With that extra money, we will give tax breaks to American homes and businesses. A brighter economy is just around the corner. Let's elect the right leaders so we can get around that corner!

[California8429]

Eric Cantor travels to host rallies around North Dakota.

We must not only reduce, but eliminate our federal deficit. The President’s spending has been out of control. Government is not looking at consequences, what happens when China, Japan, The United Arab Emirates say enough, we won’t pay for you guys anymore? What happens when we are asked to repay up our loans immediately and with interest. What happens when the dollar falls so the world market doesn’t use it anymore? This is not something I can stress enough, we cannot have another deficit. We must cut wasteful and pork-barrel spending, we must stop these irresponsible bailouts, we must reform and reduce our departments and we must make sure government only spends on what it is actually meant to spend.

Cantor will head to California right after North Dakota's elections.

Sue Lowden places a call to her campaign manager, only to get an answering machine...
"Tim, this is fairly important. We can't continue on like this without a change in strategy. We still managed to lose North Dakota, despite leading in the polls, making more stops than Cantor, and having the endorsement of popular Senator John Hoevan. Possibly a change in campaign management."

A disgruntled Sue Lowden heads to Minnesota, where she will be hosting several rallies through the state.

[tmthforu94]

Sue Lowden makes a speech in Illinois, following her quick tour of Minnesota...

In my administration, we will tackle the major challenges facing this country. We will be specific, and direct. We will lay out a clear, conservative vision for the future of America. As President , I will focus on heavily five areas: The economy, education, terrorism, health care, and government reform.

For starters, I will spend less, tax less, and borrow less. Taxes have increased and government has grown. Over the last eitht years, Obama has added millions of works to the federal payroll. That's not conservative. That's irresponsible. We can do better. It's time for results, not politics.

As President, I want to help create an education system that prepares our children for the jobs of tomorrow. To begin, we will no longer accept such high dropout rates. Our students deserve quality teachers who are well educated and trained, and schools where bad teachers aren't just transferred, but let go. But good teachers should be rewarded and they should have continuing opportunities for professional development. I will propose incentives for math and science teachers to earn a degree in what they teach.

It's time for a President for all of America. Join me and together we will make the America of tomorrow everything our children deserve. This is a special time in Illinois, and America. A time for principled leadership, reform, and results. We can do better, my friends. And together, we will!!!

[California8429]

Cantor continues to make rounds in California.

California is our focus. They are a very diverse state and it means a lot to our campaign, it's why we are focussing here. California or bust!

[tmthforu94]

Sue Lowden makes another stop in California, with her focus being on education and jobs...

Friends, California is the big prize, you all know that. With so much diversity, it gives every candidate a good idea on where they stand nationwide. Coming just across the border in Nevada, I realize many of the problems Californians are dealing with every day, and they will be addressed and worked on in a Lowden administration!

[California8429]

Cantor talks to seniors in California.

It is essential to renew the promise made to Americans, social security. FDR didn’t intend for people to work less then they live and while it may be nice, we must face reality and know the government cannot pay trillions of dollars for these unfunded mandates. We must raise the retirement age to 68 by 2020 and 70 by 2030. We must allow for private accounts so Americans can save and invest their money for their own futures and retirement plans. The American people know better than the government about their lives, their families and their personal economic situation. A child born in 2000 is expect to leave to be 100, there is no reason they should be working less in their life then the total time of retirement and school. We may not like to face the facts, but if our country wants to stay afloat we must. We cannot continue to pretend we have money to pay for everything, we don’t and it’s irresponsible and a flat out lie to the American people when the government promises one thing and has no money to pay for it.

[tmthforu94]

Sue Lowden makes a stop in Orange County...

Friends, a major difference between me and my opinion is that I am pro-Senior and he is not. I am thankful and grateful to all of the hardwork and dedication the elderly in this nation has done. Their commitment to their country in various ways has made this country what it is today. And when they're getting into their late 50's and early 60's, they start to tire out. We must reward them for their dedication, not make them slave away for another decade.
And Mr. Cantor, you talk about how children born in 2000 are expected to live to be 100. The elderly in today's society weren't born in 2000. They were born, well, a couple years earlier. Why should they be forced into this dreadful "program" despite a much shorter life expectancy? I find your plan troubling, dangerous, and simply bad for the country.

[California8429]

My campaign is about the future AND today. We can't just focus on today. When you elect me I'm going to work just as hard to make true reforms like social security for the future so we don't get 30 years out and realize that oops, we screwed up awhile back and didn't plan. If you want a leader who thinks about the road ahead, as the founding fathers did. Then I'm your man.

[ej2mm15]

Note- I suggest you both campaign in Super Tuesday states, not California which is not until April.

I will start posting ST results Sunday Morning.

[tmthforu94]

The AARP organization has endorsed Sue Lowden for the Republican nomination...

After comments the last few days from both candidates, we feel that it is vital that Sue Lowden becomes the Republican nominee. Eric Cantor's plans are scary for the elderly in America, and we simply cannot afford a President Cantor. Sue Lowden offers a stronger and pro-elderly alternative.

[California8429]

Cantor makes stops in New York.

One thing I'm very tired about is corruption. How is it possible we continue to let these people in office to only waste our tax dollars and care about themselves over you. If there is one thing you go away from this town hall meeting today, know this, I will be an iron fist when it comes to corruption and will sweep out the annointed and the appointed that do not deserve it and do not care about serving the people they represent. That is my promise to New York and the nation.

Cantor then continues to campaign in New Jersey over the same issue.

[tmthforu94]

[tmthforu94]

Sue Lowden holds a rally in Urbana, Illinois...

Friends, enough is enough. For years now, Washington has been full of corrupt leaders who push through earmark after earmark. I can promise you right now, that if I am elected President, there will be no more earmark spending. We will be an open administration, and honorable administration, and an administration that puts the people of this great nation first!
- Sue Lowden

After the rally, Sue Lowden makes several stops in the Chicago suburbs before holding a small fundraiser in Chicago.

[California8429]

Cantor in Illinois commented on Loweden's recent trend.

When your opponents follow your lead, you know you're the leader. That's why I know we are going to win this. Friends, we are the front-runner for the Republican nomination and Sue's pattern of talking about the same issues as us right after we make remarks and continue to travel this country on a theme that we can do better and will do better is a sign that we are winning.
