Y'all are familiar with Chris Bowers' excellent Google bomb campaign, right?

If you are, then you know that while FEC law allows Chris, as a worker for a PAC, to draw attention to damning/negative articles about Republicans, it forbids him to draw attention to positive articles about Democrats.

This is where WE come in.

We can do what Chris can't: Use "Google balm" to point up the good articles about Democratic candidates.

(More below the jump.) (Oh, and if somebody's already doing this, let me know so we can join forces.)

Here's Chris' list of Republicans targeted for Google bombing:
