I’m a long-time DK reader (since 2004), but have been an infrequent poster/commenter over the past 6-7 years. I put a lot of hours volunteering on a Democratic congressional campaign back in 2006, but in 2018 with a career and young child my free time is very limited.

What would be the best “bang for my buck”, time-effective way to get involved and help influence the mid-term elections in 2018? Keep in mind that I have very limited time and do not want to knock on doors. I just signed up for “Postcards to Voters”, but I’m wondering if anyone else has suggestions?

What voter outreach method has been scientifically proven to be most effective? Or are there multiple?

Saw this little blurb in the last hour. A new ARG poll is being reported in tonight's online Union Leader:

Manchester - A new poll to be released tomorrow shows Republican Sen. John Sununu has taken over the lead in next year's likely U.S. Senate race against Democratic former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen.

The American Research Group polled 558 likely voters Dec. 16-19 and found Sununu with 52 percent, Shaheen with 41 percent and 7 percent undecided. Earlier ARG polls showed Shaheen leading Sununu, most recently by 46 to 41 percent in September.

Oh man, this is really horrible news. I have been sad every since I read about it this afternoon. He was schedule to get married and tour with Boston this summer. His music touched so many people.

By Associated Press Writer | March 14, 2007

CONCORD, N.H. --The family of Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston, said Wednesday his death was a suicide.

"He was a man who gave all he had to give to everyone around him, whether family, friends, fans or strangers," the family said in a statement relayed by police. "He gave as long as he could, as best he could, and he was very tired. We take comfort in knowing that he is now, at last, at peace."

Delp, 55, died Friday at his Atkinson home. Police have said his fiancee, Pamela Sullivan, found him.

In what will be one of the most competitive Senate races of the 2008 election cycle, 33-year old Portsmouth mayor Steve Marchand has become the first Democrat to announce a run. His target will be right-wing ideologue John Sununu (who consistently polls under a 50% approval rating). With our landslide victory in the 2006 election, NH Democrats are getting primed to pick up another important seat in 2008.

This comes as no surprise to many of us, but Governor John Lynch will not for Senate in 2008 against John Lynch:

http://www.unionleader.com/...

I've heard for awhile now from his staff that he had no interest, but this seems to confirm it. This puts Democrats in a tough spot, as there are few high-profile Dems in this state. Former Governor Jeanne Shaheen is a possiblity, as are some of the State Senators, but we don't seem to have that knockout candidate that we can be confident about.

It will be interesting to see who Chuck Schumer recruits for this race, as it should be one of our top 3 or 4 targets in 2008 Senate elections.

MN Senate: Democrats to Target Norm Coleman in 2008 (with poll)

Never too early to think about 2008!

"With the wind at their backs, Minnesota Democrats are quickly making Republican U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman their next target.

Following Amy Klobuchar's overwhelming Senate victory last week, Democrats are expected to line up soon in hopes of winning support for a 2008 run at Coleman, a stout backer of President Bush.

"I think the list of Democratic hopefuls for the 2008 U.S. Senate race has just grown exponentially,'' said University of Minnesota political science professor Larry Jacobs. "The reality of Klobuchar's smashing victory is so enticing. It's like honey for bees.''

http://www.twincities.com/...

Potential Democratic Candidates to face Coleman:

1) RT Rybak- Minneapolis mayor
2) Al Franken- broadcaster and comedian
3) Mike Ciresi- prominent attorney, lost in the 2000 primary
4) Betty McCollum- 4th District Congresswoman
5) Mike Hatch- former AG, lost 2006 Governor's race
6) Judi Dutcher- Hatch's running mate
7) Dean Johnson- State Senate Majority Leader

Minnesotans, what do you think? Who do you like?

I am a resident of NH-2 2nd District, and I really, really want to see Paul Hodes beat Charlie Bass a little over a month from now. However, I think things need to change pretty quickly for that to happen. I don't think the Hodes campaign is living up to its potential. Read More

A new UNH Survey Center poll of 249 2nd District residents shows Charlie Bass leading Paul Hodes 46%-36%, with a 6.2% MOE. This is a huge improvement over the July poll which had Bass leading by 24%:

http://hosted.ap.org/...

Hodes still has very low name recognition, which should begin to go up since both candidates have begun running television ads. He was viewed favorably by 11%, unfavorably by 6%, neutral by 17%, and unknown by 66%. Bass is known by 90+% of the district's voters. Read More

Howard Stern and Co. spent 5 minutes trashing Joe Lieberman this morning. Baba Booey, the only CT resident on the show, said that he would be voting for Ned Lamont in the primary. Howard's radio show reaches a few million people on Sirius Satellite Radio, many of who are in NY and southern CT.

Howard attacked Lieberman for his advocacy of censorship on TV and radio, as well as his cheerleading of the war. Anyone else hear it? Good stuff it was.

This race is getting a whole lot of attention.
