Poll question: I'm a little torn on where my donations should go at this point
I'm pretty broke but my standard donation is $25 each time, (occasionally $50). I don't want to make any kind of assumptions that Obama will win - on the other hand, we also need more Congressional seats (Senate in particular) to ensure that he'll be able to enact his plan for America without too much interference or outright obstructionism. Plus I think my small amount of money will go further at this point in smaller contests where there is less money involved.

I just donated to Tinkleberg (sp?), and am considering donating ONLY to smaller Congressional contests in the next 2 weeks as they are posted on DU as needing money.

What y'all think?

1. Donate to Obama. Then pick a few Senate/Congressional races
you feel passionate about.

Just my two cents.

2. I'd go MOSTLY with Congress
If Senator Obama has enough money to advertise on the Xbox 360, I dare say that he's not hurting for money right now. I'd go with the House/Senate seats.

That's not to say you shouldn't completely stop giving to Senator Obama. Maybe a 75/25 spread?

3. I would give to Obama...
it seems so urgent to me. I know he's raised a shit load of money, but I fear he is going to need every cent to try and avert another stolen election.
