More news from Wisconsin (& yet another appeal for $$):

I have some incredible news to share with you. We’ve been running the best, largest Get Out The Vote Operation Wisconsin has ever seen, and it is paying off.

The latest polling shows that we’re down by one. Not one percentage point – ONE VOTE. This race is a virtual dead heat with Scott Walker at 47.8% and Tom Barrett at 47.7%.

We need to find the one vote we’re missing, and thousands more, to elect Tom Barrett and put Wisconsin back on track.

We can’t let Scott Walker win, especially not by one vote. Rush your contribution of $11 or whatever you can afford today to help our voter contact program find and reach every eligible voter.

Our people-powered movement is working double-time and it’s clear that momentum is on our side, but we need to keep our GOTV machine going until 8pm on Tuesday night. The more than 310,000 doors our grassroots army knocked yesterday is just the beginning.

Scott Walker and his Koch-fueled special interests can buy a lot, but they can’t buy momentum, and they can’t buy the passion and intensity of our grassroots movement.

Help us keep the pedal to the floor by chipping in $11 or whatever you can afford today.

In solidarity,
Mike Tate
Chair, Wisconsin Democratic Pzrty

That link says contributions go to "Democratic Party of Wisconsin - Federal Account" - is that like the DNC?

I'd love to give money towards helping Barrett, but I don't want the DNC touching it.

on Saturday, We Are Wisconsin canvassed 257,000 people and Wis Dems canvassed 310,000. That's amazing, and doesn't include any canvassing done by unions.

They just as important if not more important than whether Walker continues to be Governor. All the Democrats need is one more Democratic legislator and they have the majority.

I just heard yesterday that her upward swing caused OFA to pour $200k into her campaign.
