Which Orange to Blue candidate will be the recipient of tomorrow night's Hell to Pay fundraiser?

Now's the time to vote!

Nominees this week are:

  • Dan Seals, IL-10: Seals came under attack by incumbent Republican Mark Kirk for a Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll that showed Seals within striking distance. Flaming out and dissing Daily Kos as anti-semitic and "ultra left-wing," the Kirk campaign then turned around the next day when SUSA showed Seals with a lead ... and cited the poll from this anti-Semitic site to debunk Seals' lead. Hell to Pay this week in Seals' case not only would pay back Kirk for attacking Seals, but for attacking us as well. Not to stack the deck or anything.
  • Joe Garcia, FL-25: Several users urged we take a look this week at Garcia, with jockoftexas making an official nomination:

    I nominate Joe Garcia because his opponent is letting Bush run away from Washington for his fundraiser.  It sucks but Bush is in charge of the Federal government right now.  He should be trying to stop the credit freeze right now.

  • Bob Lord, AZ-03, nominated by DrewEM:

    Shadegg went after an 89-year-old WWII POW who is supporting Bob when he was trying to "apologize" for misusing that veteran's picture without his permission in his TV ad.

  • Rick Noriega, TX-Sen, nominated by KTinTX, was treated to being "accidentally" called "Manuel" Noriega by a veteran supporter of Jon Cornyn.

Which one of these worthies will the Daily Kos community be gathering for tomorrow night when we meet online to relax, kick back, drink a few brews and donate? Which Republican will find out there is Hell to Pay?

Update: Looks like Dan Seals is the winner for this evening, given a run for his money by Rick Noriega fans. Remember folks, it's a great thing to give to more than one candidate, so dig deep in your pockets tomorrow night when we fund raise on behalf of Seals... and give to another candidate or two when you're over at the Orange to Blue page.

Meet here tomorrow night around 6 PM PDT to hang out, have fun, raise a glass or two -- and some money for Dan Seals!
