Cheers,
This focus of my blog will be to organize, gain contributions for candidates and generate turnout for the fall, 2006 elections in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and West Virginia. Why these states? Because first, I own homes in two of them, manage a consulting firm with employees in most of these states and we work in all of them.
Secondly, several of these states have no Senate race this fall. For some, like Kentucky, there is not Senator up for election. Indiana's Senator Lugar has no Democrat opponent, so that is a great help.
Several other Senators have very critical races Senate races such as Ohio (DeWine), Tennessee (Frist's seat) and Pennsylvania ( Rick!).
A friend in Louisville tells me the two Republican's who represent the metro area may have it tough in the house - Northrup and Sodrel. Also, there is no way on this planet we can let carpetbagging (understatement) Capri Cafaro buy a seat in Ohio. We stopped her the last election so she fired up the limo and pulled the double-wide to Akron.
For those on state lines, those in congressional districts that have safe seats or those in states where the Senate seats are safe, it is time to give or brethren a hand.
We'll be keeping a log of candidates, tracking fund raising from both side in the critical races, reproducing polls, reprinting the Democrat opponent's yarns and announcing appearances. (How many times will Harold Ford get a free campaign stop on Imus?)
Get your locals elected first and then let's lend a hand to our seats that are close.
