Is there any point in donating (down ticket) this late in the game?
I'm considering sending some bucks to Kay Hagan, but I don't know if it will help much with only a couple of days left. Should I do it?

1. They can always use more.. I'm sure Kay Hagan is doing well, but everything helps.
The dems would love to get rid of the era's of Doles and Bushs.

8. I donated to Tinklenberg a week or so ago. It feels good to know that
I'm helping clean house (so to speak) of vermins and other pests. Just call me The Exterminator. :evilgrin:

2. Hell yeah.
First, she may very well have gone into debt for her campaign (many do), so you'd be helping pay for mailers or something that has already gone out.

Second, it takes very little time to do robocalls. Also, she may need to pay GOTV people or put gas in their cars.

So kick it in -- every little bit helps. :D

9. Thanks for explaining what some of the money goes to.
All I could think of was buying ads. It hadn't occurred to me that her staff might need reimbursement for expenses.

3. It always helps.

I got a thanks from Darcy Burner today in the form of a postcard/sticker. I believe I may donate to her again, and Obama, even though I had thought my last donation was a few days ago. As I've said, it always helps.

7. Yes please. She did a great response ad.
She spoke politely but firmly right back to Libby's heretic ad against her.

I guess you've seen it because you're thinking of giving her a bit. I agree that her ad was worth it. It made a great statement for the long term as well.

Democrats talk economy and honesty.

Thanks for doing that.

10. Dole's disgusting mudslinging sent me over the edge.
Not only was her accusation false (implying that Hagan is a nonbeliever), it's offensive to me as the spouse of an atheist. My husband is a good, decent family man. He's not sick or evil.

It's time for America to prove that the Rethugs do NOT have a lock on "family values."

11. UPDATE: I made a donation to Hagan, plus a donation to Jim Martin in GA.
I want Liddy Dole and Saxby Chambliss GONE. :nuke:
