Scott McAdams has a real chance to beat Joe Miller in the Alaska Senate Race. According to a Rasmussen Poll conducted earlier in the week he only trails Miller by 6 points.
Rasmussen already moved this race from Solidly Republican to Leans Republican which is certainly positive movement for McAdams as well as the Democrats nationally. The superfecta crazy of Rand Paul, Sharrrrron Angle, Ken Buck and Joe Miller are the gifts that keep on giving.
We've raised $375 in the past week for McAdams on our Progressive Electorate/Daily Kos Act Blue page. Help us get to $1,000 this weekend.
We know it's a tough economy, but lets stretch our dollar in a race where it will make a difference.
As if we need any more ammunition for five dollar Friday, here comes Erick Erickson and his "Joe Miller" man crush line.
McAdams talked earlier this week about how the National Democratic Leadership has yet to get behind his campaign.
It remains to be seen whether McAdams will receive support from the Democratic National Committee or the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. McAdams says it doesn’t matter.
"The DSCC and the national Democratic Party doesn’t even know my name. And that’s fine by me," he said. "I love the Alaskan Democratic Party, they’ve been behind me 100 percent, Sen. Mark Begich has been behind me 100 percent, and that’s just fine by me."
But he acknowledged the support of the two national organizations would make a big difference.
"I’m not sure exactly what their strategy’s going to be. I’m not sure what their plan is," he said. "This is a small population state. We can raise enough money to win. Nobody knew who Joe Miller was on the 31st of May."
The DNC and the DSCC may not get behind McAdams, but we can raise enough money to make this viable regardless. Swing State Project has pledged to raise $2,400 so feel free to use their Act Blue links and help them reach their goal.
One thing I will say: If we do want big players like the DSCC to get involved, demonstrating serious grassroots enthusiasm for McAdams is the way to do it. So please help us reach our goal of $2,400 - the equivalent of one maximum federal donation - for Scott McAdams as quickly as possible.
We are all in this together. This race is the best value in terms of bang for our buck. SSP hits the nail on the head. Let's Go Team.
