This is a candidate we all clearly need to get behind. Rand Paul, Sharrron Angle and Joe Miller are the Gifts that Keep on Giving.

Less than 48 hours after Scott McAdams was declared the winner of the democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Alaska, he is already the #5 fundraiser on ActBlue. Let’s get him to number one NOW. He needs capital to get this campaign rolling into high gear. Even a small donation will buy some bumperstickers, or a yard sign. Heck, this is Alaska... $10 will buy a radio commercial!
Remember that every state gets two senate seats, regardless of its population. That means a $100 donation to Scott McAdams is the equivalent of almost $2000 to a senate candidate in Texas. .. .
Why step up right now?
Because if you don’t, you know what you’ll get? Joe Miller. In the United States Senate. Endorsed by Palin. Endorsed by Huckabee. Endorsed by the Tea Party Express and their billionaire backers. Endorsed by Fox News talking heads. His campaign has been rolling for weeks, so we have some catching up to do.
But can we do it? You betcha.
Scott McAdams was born and raised in Alaska and worked on commercial fishing boats all across the state. He understands fisheries, coastal issues, resource management, resource development, Alaskan jobs, and the unique issues facing all Alaskans. The Last Frontier is in his blood.
Joe Miller? Born and raised in Kansas. A little coastline challenged... Just saying.
Scott McAdams cares about kids and education. He decided to start his public service career by focusing on kids, and how we can give them the best chance for a productive future in our state. He ran for and was elected to the school board, and among his many positions, he served as the President of the Sitka School Board, and the President of the Association of Alaska School Boards.
Joe Miller? He wants to abolish the Department of Ecucation.
Scott McAdams, in addition to his elections to the school board, was elected mayor of Sitka, Alaska. He has balanced budgets. He has executive experience. People liked him enough to trust him with the reins. He’s even figured out how his city and his people can benefit from the export of a non-traditional resource that Sitka has in abundance – water!
Joe Miller? He was elected to.... um... NOTHING. That’s right, he’s never held elected office. But he thinks it’ll be fun to try it out while he’s representing you in Washington D.C.? Alaskans and Americans deserve better than to be a set of training wheels because the Tea Party and Sarah Palin think they can buy an election

Watch this speech. Scott is insightful, he's captivating and he's entertaining. He's a good strong Democrat.
We've added Scott McAdams to our Progressive Electorate/ Daily Kos Act Blue Page
I'm rejuvenated and energized after listening to Scott McAdams. I briefly met him at NN10 and he was pleasant and very non-assuming. In fact he just came up to me and introduced himself, not as a candidate but just as hey I'm Scott.
I'll match the next $50 donated to Scott on our Act Blue Page. Buy a radio commercial, buy a couple of radio commercials. Let's just make sure that this race is on our radar.
