Footnote: Dems (Kerry, Clinton, Edwards, Warner) raising money for Dems

[ProSense]

A footnote: Warner's PAC will release an estimate of the amount of money he's raised for other Democrats this cycle -- about $5M. That puts him in the ballpark of Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has raised at least $7.5 million for Democrats, Ex-Sen. John Edwards, who has raised at least $6.5 million. Everyone lags Sen. John Kerry, who has raised close to $14 million.

1. tell them to keep coming to Ohio!!

Seriously - there is something happening in the State of Ohio. It's purple, been going Red.... but the polls are looking good for a lot of Dem pick ups. The conversations that I'm hearing... it is so within reach. The Repubs have so much more money for ad buys and propaganda tho....

The Secretary of State race is especially important. We all know how Blackwell screwed with the vote in '04. We (as a Country) need Jennifer Brunner, Democratic candidate for SOS to be elected www.jenniferbrunner.com

The Governor's race is also very important. It is extremist Blackwell against the competent, progressive, intelligent Ted Strickland.

We also have several legislative races that are VERY competitive and could swing toward the Dems. This is led by the Sherrod Brown vs. Dewine Senate contest. Sherrod Brown could win this and it would be a great DEM pick-up for all of us!

3. The difference is that since 2004 the Dem infrastructure in Ohio is being

strengthened within the party. Dean is doing the job that Terry MacAuliffe neglected for four years after 2000. And Kerry and other Dems who were effected by the poor infrastructure there are helping with the rebuilding. They were stuck learning the hard way how the candidate is only as strong as the state's party infrastructure.
