Edited on Tue Oct-12-10 05:32 PM by Smarmie Doofus
I won't give thru DNC ... they're anti teacher-union, pro-war and GLBTs issues don't even exist ( check out their voter surveys if you don't believe me. So let them get money from Carl Paladino) for them.

Those are the three big issues for me . Not enough time left to research individual candidates. Already sent $$ to Grayson and Feingold, but that all i can do for individuals.

So... which group (PDA or DFA) is going to best allocate $$ to people I like?

6. Love Feingold but he's just one guy.

I'd like a few other genuine progressives to survive what could be a wipeout.

edit....Ooops... "Feinberg" was an old friend of mine.

4. Tarryn Clark to defeat Michele Bachmann?
Edited on Tue Oct-12-10 05:17 PM by gmoney
Or Kucinich would be good...

I'd suggest the guy running against Boehner, but I'm afraid he has about a snowball's chance in a tanning bed...

8. An idea. Is one better than the other on union and ...
... teacher union issues? Are either of them sympathetic to Obama-style corporate school "reform." ( i.e. privatization?)

9.  Please, please, Harry Mitchell against David Scweikert the tea bagger in AZ CD5
Edited on Tue Oct-12-10 05:36 PM by saracat
Harry is the D incumbent and the race is virtually tied. Some polls have Harry inching up, other have Schweikert in the lead. Harry took out JD Hayworth and is the ONLY congressperson to give back his pay raise and sponsor legislation AGAINST such pay raises.
