"Jump the dots, yo!"
Ok, I broke up he debate into tasty bite size bits for ya. Let's start with what I so imaginatively titled "Part 1":
Can you see why I call him the Cryptkeeper?

Parto Quatro:
Many you have asked about polling and of the state of the race and such. I wrote this pretty late in last night's thread and am going to repost what I wrote then as a public service for those who may have similar questions.
Q: Lipris
Has there been polling done in the race at all? Whats the registration advantage, if any?
we haven't done any polling
as we just flat out can't afford it and if our opponent has done any, he ain't sharing. it's definitely a republican district, though that is changing as folks from NYC continue to move up here.
as for the state of the race, here's a snapshot:
our opponent is a 26 year incumbent. he's never had a serious challenge before. ever. and he's damn sure never had anyone come at him like we have. the last challenger spent a grand total of about 4 grand. we've raised 20 times that. our tv spots (produced by yours truly) hit the air this past tuesday and we're running the hell out of 'em. our signs are everywhere. we've got brian out knocking on doors somewhere in the district every damn day. he'll be working the train station here in beacon beginning about 5:30 in the morning tomorrow.
the district has two hot congressional races (hall and gillibrand) and dems are pretty freakin' motivated. they are two great candidates and great campaigns. we're right around the corner from Hall's HQ and, as i said above, i think they are running a GREAT race. i also think that they are both going to win. if they win big enough, we win. it's really that simple.
now, we're busting ass on getting our GOTV ops up and running and we have a busload of great volunteers from NYC heading up this weekend to canvass their asses off. fellow kossack MINDOCA is getting our phonebanking ops (virtual and in the district) off the ground.
i really like our chances and rest assured that we are playing to win this sucker. we are all in, so to speak and we aren't going to leave anything on the field. it's a sprint to the finish and we're running hard as hell.
have you seen the ads?
