What’s burning in your blood?
Under the fold below, I’ve included a poll question that should yield some interesting results: “When did you start reading the Swing State Project?”
For me, it was back in 2005 just before the Paul Hackett campaign started gaining steam in OH-02. That feels like a lifetime ago!
Loading ...Is anyone here planning on attending Netroots Nation in Austin next month? I wasn’t able to attend Yearly Kos in 2006 or 2007, but I’ll be there this year. In fact, I’ll be joining SSP blogfather DavidNYC, MyDD’s Jonathan Singer, and Brownsox & Markos of Daily Kos for a panel discussion on this year’s House and Senate races. Details are available here. It should be fun!
If you find yourself in Austin next month, be sure to say hello!
It’s a lazy Saturday, so let’s try something different. Start up your iPod (or iTunes), set that bad boy to shuffle, and tell us the first ten songs that pop up on random play.
I’m really curious to see what a cross-section of the SSP community’s musical tastes will look like.
I’ll kick things off in the comments. And remember: no cheating!
We thought we’d shake things up this week by including a caption contest in our weekly thread of open banter. So let’s see what you can come up with for this photo of state Sen. Craig Johnson (D-NY):
Have at it!

Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
UPDATE: Jim Ogonowski has officially withdrawn from the Senate race against John Kerry. Once again, all together: Haw-haw!
Let’s try something different: In comments, tell us what congressional district you live in. While you’re at it, why don’t you describe the district for us, too. And if you don’t live in a U.S. congressional district, tell us about whatever legislative district(s) you do live in.
UPDATE: This has been a super-fun thread so far. To kick it up a notch, I’ve created a Frappr map for SSP community members. This will give us a visual representation of where everyone lives. You can click below to add your location (nothing more specific than a town name or ZIP code is used). Go for it!
What’s on your mind?
What’s in your wallet?
Remember, SSP will be live-blogging the MS-01 election results on Tuesday night. Polls close at 7pm 8pm Eastern time. If you haven’t yet signed up to do some virtual phonebanking, now is your chance!
Update (James): Russ Feingold’s PAC is itching to give away $5000 to one of 10 lucky House candidates. Feel free to cast your informed vote to determine who gets a piece of Feingold’s booty.
Tomorrow night will be a lively night here at SSP — we’ll be following the returns from the LA-06 special election. Be sure to check back with us then. Cazayoux wins!
In other news, here’s a copy of the doorhanger that the DCCC is dropping off at houses in Mississippi’s 1st District:
