Polling on a Democratic Win
by Erik Cornelius DSCC
Thu Mar 25th, 2004 at 02:56:26 PM EST

Lately we've given you a lot of anecdotal reasons why we at the DSCC believe that the Democrats will regain the senate this November. I've updated our polling info, and it shows how we would gain at least 51 seats if the election were held today. Luckily the election isn't until November, we can try for even more seats.

Update [2004-3-25 12:31:19 by ken]: - Daschle's remarks are over - see Cara's comments below with the statement.

CSPAN 2 is covering the Senate right now, Senator Daschle is on the floor speaking out on the Richard Clarke testimony.

He is urging the President to put an end to the character attacks being waged against Mr. Clarke by the people around the President.

He is noting that The President's allies have similarly smeared other good people - John McCain, Max Cleland, Joe Wilson, et al.

He is saying that enough is enough.

I know the Kerry campagin has been talking a lot about Georgia and I just want to say that we continue to be optomistic that we will have a strong Democratic Candidate in Georgia.

A candidate that will support the Kerry Campaign and be a vote that President Kerry can count on in the Senate.  Please make a contribution today and help our recruitment efforts!

TOUGH - Being It, Doing It...
by Cara DSCC
Wed Mar 24th, 2004 at 11:58:05 AM EST

We had a political meeting last night where we go over what's happening in each state, strategy, etc and  Atrios's post yesterday  came up  in our discussion of how the Blogsphere thinks we should be more aggressive  (we agree with Atrios that Matt is right!) - If you want to talk about being proactive,  Atrios is  the poster child...  Don't Dream It, Be It .

The significant work  being done on the blogosphere is working, it's permeating discussions here in Washington and in our states and most importantly inspiring people to get active.

So after the meeting I promised I'd have to give a special shout out/ big props/hallelujah to Atrios for posting Daschle's statement and asking people to "Reward Good Behavior. Donate to the DSCC. "   We certainly don't agree on everything but we do agree on this.  When our candidates and our leaders ARE tough - the effects are tangible.  

And when  Bloggers  like Atrios ARE involved - the effects are also tangible -  he also took the lead and set up his  own fundraising page on FromTheRoots.  Setting up your own fundraising page or blogging here are great ways to communicate with us and yes the DSCC, the Democratic Senators and our candidates are listening.

The Emperor Has No Clothes: Exposing theTruth About Bush and Terrorism
by BenJones DSCC
Wed Mar 24th, 2004 at 10:05:20 AM EST

The Emperor Has No Clothes
Richard Clarke, once America's top anti-terrorism advisor is scheduled to testify on Wednesday before the special panel probing whether President Bush and his administration could have prevented the September 11th terrorist attacks.   Clarke clearly thinks they could have done a whole lot more.  On Sunday Clarke told CBS's 60 Minutes: "I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds he's done such a great job about terrorism...I think he's done a terrible job in the war against terrorism."
