As numerous posts today have noted, James Carville told the Democratic Party to raise the stakes by $5 million to help fuel the Cat5 storm zeroing in on the GOP... Charlie Cook said he'd make it $10 million:
Carville suggested that the Democratic Party should... fund... Democrats... in second- and third-tier districts--the next 30 to 50 Republican-held seats... Carville went as far as to suggest Democrats go to the bank and borrow $5 million. If I were them, I'd make it $10 million and put $500,000 each of these 20 districts.
If the Party does $5m... how about the Dailykos community matching that to get to Cook's $10 million? The passion I've read here these last three years tells me that most of us would gladly give $100 (or much more) to rescue our country (and the world) from the grips of the lunatic fringe now in control. So if half the Kossacks gave a C-note - $20 to 5 candidates of your choice - we'd raise that $5m! Imagine that. Yes, when donkeys fly you say... but how about 10% of us doing just $10 each for 5 candidates? $500,000 would certainly help. And if we messed up and did $5M...
