Because he will sign election legislation making it harder for Dems to get a fair shake. The national party better pony up FOR A RECOUNT or we will lose WA in the 2008 prez election also!

1. Didn't the Democrats win control of the state leg?
Why would they pass GOP-friendly election legislation?

2. You are ABSOLUTELY right. We can't afford any more losses. And this one
is SO close, a loss can in all likelihood be avoided. I hope the national folks are thinking clearly about the ramifications of not helping out in this close race.

3. your right
the repubs are looking good to take seats in flordia and nebraska as well. bryd may retire in west virgina witch will be another loss. and we may get a run for are money in north dokta

the good news is we stan to gain possible seats in RI Lincon Chafee Conneticut and Pennsyvania maybe

Lugar might also retire in indiana. And i think former Govenor Kernan could have a shot at picking up that seat

we will problay not regain the senate for while but we can atleast hold the gop undear sixty seats

5. Yes indeed

I said so yesterday--WE NEED THIS GOVERNOR.

The DNC collected THIRTEEN MILLION DOLLARS IN NOVEMBER ALONE.

They have the money. HIT THEM UP FOR IT!

Have any of you contacted them to ask them why they said they didn't have the $700,000 yet?

There is Gregoire trying to get it up by Friday, when the money is assuredly there and there for that purpose (didn't Kerry give some to the DNC out of the left-over $51 million?).

McAuliffe needs an e-mail SPAM-ATHON courtesy of DU.
