Democrats Make $28 Million TV Buy.

[elleng]

The Democrats’ strategy to preserve their House majority became clearer Thursday as the party made a $28 million investment in television advertising for the final weeks of the fall campaign, a plan that is designed to build a firewall to protect freshmen and longtime incumbents.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reserved television time in 40 districts across the country.

1. Let's hope it works

We need a Congress that can get things done.

2. I hope some of it is for

Ed Postonak (7th NJ) - going up against Leonard Lance and Rob Miller down in SC going up against You Lie Wilson.

ETA - They haven't. You have to solid candidates, Washington Outsiders - and they aren't even trying piss on Wilson's or Lance's back. Maybe they think NJ is a shoe in? I dunno - but they could at least try - because I'm telling you . . . NJ is not. *sigh* :sad:

3. Try a Little Honest Sincerity

Give a damn about a real person besides yourself, your relations and your corporate sponsors.
