OH-02: Once More into the Breech
Posted by Bob Brigham

Here's the situation, the Paul Hackett decided to shoot the moon. Ohio's second congressional district favors Republicans by 30 pts. Running a safe campaign would result in failure.

Paul Hackett is a Fighting Democrat and he's gambling, pushing, pull out all of the stops and running like his life depends upon it (if he loses, he'll probably be sent back in Iraq).

To Get Out the Vote, we need to raise $30,000 today. Here's why.

Last week, the netroots stepped up and delivered around $40K a day. The campaign gambled and put all of that on TV (the ads are great and a Democrat is leading the Republicans in gross points in every market in every medium!!!).

It worked, and now Independents are breaking rapidly our way. And Democrats in the district are so fired up that the far more than expected are signing up for GOTV.

This has drastically increased the cost of the GOTV mobilization. The enthusiasm over the weekend was more than expected and more was spend during the huge door-to-door effort. Now the campaign needs money for tomorrow to finish the job.

The cost breaks down to around $500 a precinct with 600 precincts. The netroots best friend, Matt from ActBlue, is flying in right now to coordinate moving the money.

But we need enough to finish the job.

Your investments have made Hackett a contender. Please give one more time so we can win this in the field.

6. Well, I can't afford it either, but I just sent him $20.00.

I wish I lived in Ohio so I could vote for him, but I don't.

I watched Tweety's interview with both candidates, and I'm sure doing what I can to help Paul WIN!

7. Ok, just sent another $20. This one's in response

for junior giving us the finger once again with the Bolton nomination. Maybe this little move will work in Hackett's favor.

14. No polls have been released.

A couple of internals we're leaked from the Schmidt campaign about a week ago that put the race within 5%! Today their saying it could be a GOTV type victory. Whoever turns out their base, wins.
