We mightcan do business...
I got this in the email from the DCCC:
Dear Mightcan,
On August 2nd, we sent a shockwave through the Republican Party. In case you don't know me, I was the Democratic candidate in the special election for Ohio's second congressional district. I am also a veteran of the Iraq War.
In a district that has seen 40 point Democratic losses for 15 years, we came within four points. That was after Tom DeLay and the national Republicans poured in a half a million dollars to shore up my opponent.
I couldn't be prouder of our campaign. The national Republicans promised to "bury" me, but we stood tough and put them in their place. On Thursday the Washington Post asked their spokesman whether they had fulfilled their promise, and the spokesman admitted simply: "we did not." Newt Gingrich himself called it "a wake-up call to Republicans."
There are so many people who made this possible. Never having run for public office before, I was amazed by people's hard work, long hours and dedication to my campaign. I could not have run this race without the grassroots Democrats coming to my aid - in message, in boots on the ground, and in contributions to my campaign.
And there was another team who was working on my behalf. At the most critical point of the campaign, the DCCC sent staff to direct a get out the vote operation unlike anything this district has seen in decades. They helped me turn my campaign into a well-oiled machine.
and so on
I'm a big, BIG fan of Mr. Hackett. But I have this question before I contribute: Will it go to candidates that will call W the sob he is? Will it go to candidates that will stand for something? State their opinion? Highlight the lunacy of Iraq? Bring Haliburton to account? Be for me? BE DEMOCRATS? I don't want any pissant accommodation because the candidate is afraid to make a living in my world. I want them in DC making a difference! Then we mightcan do business...
I sent a note to the DCCC asking just that, "Will this money go to candidates that will call the SOB in the Whitehouse and SOB? I haven't received an answer.
