Looks like the DSCC is finally dipping its toes in the water in the Peach State:
Last week, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer described Georgia and Kentucky as “even-steven races.” The committee hasn’t, however, officially added Georgia to its list of battleground states, and has been slow to pour money into the race. A spokesman said the committee did partially fund Martin’s latest television ad, which blames Chambliss for the economic turmoil.
“We think it’s a neck-and-neck race,” said DSCC spokesman Matthew Miller. “That’s why we sent money to the state party.”
The blogosphere has really stepped it up here in just the last few days. Daily Kos raised over $42K for Martin, and we’re just shy of $5,000 here at SSP. (Who wants to put us over the top?) I’m glad to see the DSCC get involved here, but with time running out, it’s time for them to seriously kick it up a notch. If we truly want to break the GOP’s spirit, this is the place to do it. It’s time to act now.
no race has trended better and quicker than this one.
I could not possibly see why they wouldn’t dump a million into this race. Sending money to the State Party is a joke.
I can’t understand the inaction here.
Safe incumbents need to step it up, and the DSCC needs to get tv ads on the air ASAP in Georgia.
we need to get on the phones
SCHUMER, Baucus, Kennedy, Rockefeller, Leahy, Murray, Bayh, Bingaman, Feinstein, Levin, Pryor, Wyden, Bill Nelson, Biden — should all be kicking in at least $500k right now (in addition to whatever they’ve already done) — and most on this list can easily give $1m. If they each gave $500k — we’d have $7m more to spend — plenty to win Georgia and to counteract this new $5m the NRSC is gonna get from the RNC — I really think that could hurt us BIG TIME and cause us to lose NC
