The entire House is up for re-election next year, as is 1/3 of the Senate. I wonder if we can't put together a list of the ten or so most vulnerable representatives, plus a couple of senators. It sure would be nice if we could "Leach" a few more out of office. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Good idea, I would like to make some noise again this election.
Rasmussen Reports usually has something, but it may be too early. I would love to see the Dems put someone strong against Goodlatte. |

Good or bad, the most vulnerable House members are Dems who beat Republicans last time around, Incumbency is God in the House. They are NOT who we want to target at this time. I would think we should pick small state, preferably Midwest or Rocky Mt Senators who are Republican. States where a few thousand voters make a difference, and 25-50k in donations means a lot. If we have a year plus to start, I think we can raise 25k for 4 Senate runs each, and 10k for 10 House runs, provided we find ten anti-gambling zealots in vulnerable districts. 200k from 2+2.

Rep. Deborah Pryce (R, OH-15) voted "yea" for HR4411. She was reelected by only a few hundred votes in the last election and there was a recount. She has Ohio State University as part of her district.

In the Senate, John Sununu is already running afraid in New Hampshire. He has made some attempts to distance himself from the rest of the republicans on civil rights issues, and is very afraid that the Iraq war will send him home just like it did both of NH's representatives last fall.
Perhaps he can be made to see that support from a few thousand poker players could make the difference (actually, unless he backs off his war support, it probabaly wont). I will write him and report his response here. I will also write whomever the Dems nominate to run against him. Skallagrim |

I look forward to his reply to your letter. |

She has Ohio State University as part of her district. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, great target. [/ QUOTE ] Sorry, I'm late to this thread. I only check this forum once a week or so. Anyways, I live in this district on campus (not an OSU student however). I do know a lot of students, several of which play poker. If this district is targeted, I would be happy to help. A few notes about this district though. Columbus is a fairly moderate city, but the districts are gerrymandered horribly in favor of Republicans. Price got smoked in Columbus last election (like 70% for her opponent IIRC), but still won thanks to the very conservative rural counties included in this district. See picture below. The key will be getting the high turnout even higher on campus. Price has also moved considerably toward the center since the last election, and she was fairly moderate before that. I think an e-mail campaign from OSU students may be effective to get an idea if she may change her mind on this issue. She certainly is feeling the heat still from her very narrow victory. I will e-mail her this weekend and let everyone know if I get any kind of meaningful response. |
