The DCCC is hosting a major shindig for its Millionaire Boys Club of candidates it does support.
Joe Roberts could turn Northwest Florida blue with a fraction of what the DCCC is blowing on this photo op.
If the DCCC really is supposed to elect as many Democrats as possible, they should support the basic grassroots efforts that really work to get people elected to office.
More on the flip.

In FL-01, Incumbent Republican Miller, the consummate Do-Nothing Congressman, is being challenged by political newcomer Joe Roberts in a race that was was virtually ceded from the start by the DCCC. They demanded that Roberts come up with $1.2 million in order to get their attention.
Ignoring overwhelming grass roots support from Democrat, Republican and Independent voters, the DCCC is sticking to it's plan, even in the face of continuing evidence from CT and NH-01 and even FL-05 that this election is not going to be decided in the boardroom, but on the streets of America.
Joe Roberts, a Vietnam Veteran (USMC) and military retiree, has a small but dedicated group of volunteers and is whipping Incumbent Republican Miller with $25 checks from voters who are desperate for change in the Florida's poorest district. Check out Joe Roberts. If you can drop $25.01 or $10.01 at Joe's Act Blue page it will go toward turning FL-01 blue regardless of what the consultants say.
While the DCCC is having it's big money shindig, Joe Roberts is having a Fish Fry for regular people in FL-01. Anyone who would like to meet Joe Roberts can come to Carpenter Park in Milton, FL, (on the corner of Munson Hwy and Broad St) from 3-6 PM on Saturday Sept 23rd. It is events like this that will win the election, not photo-ops in DC.
Vote for Joe!
