The Democrats plan to hold on to their narrow Senate majority goes by the name Bannock Street project. It runs through 10 states, includes a $60 million investment and requires more than 4,000 paid staff members. And the effort will need all of that and perhaps more to achieve its goal, which is nothing short of changing the character of the electorate in a midterm cycle.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is preparing its largest and most data-driven ground game yet, relying on an aggressive combination of voter registration, get-out-the-vote and persuasion efforts.
They hope to make the 2014 midterm election more closely resemble a presidential election year, when more traditional Democratic constituencies single women, minorities and young voters turn out to vote in higher numbers, said Guy Cecil, the committees executive director.
Part of the plan is to get the word out to voters that THE KOCH BROTHERS are largely behind all these BS ads - mostly Obamacare lies - that have already been playing in a few competitive states. There is some calculation that Dems might only need a tenth of the Koch/Goposaur budget until the Koch garbage starts backfiring, and their own money starts working against them.
