With the latest polls showing John Hall tied with incumbent Sue Kelly, the election will be decided by campaign efforts in the final days, and the Hall campaign has an excellent and massive effort planned, and could use your help. The NRCC has a paid phone bank attacking John, paying thousands of dollars this week to the same company they are paying to tell voters in Florida to vote for Mark Foley. Join us so that our volunteer effort beats their paid effort. To volunteer you can email me at mobilizenow at gmail dot com.

More than a thousand people gathered to hear Democratic candidates for the state legislature, three area members of Congress, congressional candidate John Hall, and Bill Clinton. I wanted to live blog the event but couldn't get online.

The event began appropriately with State Senate Candidate Andrea Stewart-Cousins who lost a close race 2 years ago by 18 votes talking about the importance of getting out the vote: "You know who I am - I am the reason that you have to remind everyone you know to vote," she said. "Get on the phone, you matter! Knock on doors, you matter! Tell you neighbors they matter." Despite disenfranchisement and vote suppression efforts, she said, "We're going to vote in numbers that they never could believe could happen. We're going to let the nation know that Democrats are awake."

Quotable Bill after the jump!

A number of people have been drawing attention here to this great campaign, and one of the things we've been asking people to do is contact the DCCC to urge attention to it, so this news reflects both the efforts of people here and the strength of the campaign. Read More

Unlike Sidinny's great Election Race Diary Roundup which covers diaries about House races all over the country in a single day, this diary brings together, and adds information to, some diaries about a single House race over the past month or so. Together, the diaries and comments add up to a great portrait of an important election, showing 1) the race is winnable, because of 2) an excellent challenger and campaign organization, 3) great netroots support, 4) a favorable context, and 5) a weak incumbent who is 6) vulnerable on important issues highlighted in the diaries. Plus: what you can do to help win (most of it right there at your keyboard).

Strategic Reallocation of Funds: Netroots Action (1st diary)

Republicans have had an advantage in strategically reallocating funds from incumbents who don't need them to challengers who do; that is one reason they won control of the Congress in 1994. If the Democrats do not win back the House in 2006, one reason may be their failure to do the same.

Democratic incumbents who do not face serious challenges have $86 million. While the 30 most generous Democrats have donated about 32% of their receipts to others, the least generous (in terms of contributions to others) have given only 3%. All the Democrats not facing serious challenges reallocating one-third of their receipts would provide Democratic challengers with an additional $15 million.

My question is what netroots action can help the Democrats reallocate their funds? This is my first diary: I've put a table, some examples, and some thoughts about this after the jump.
