If you want to help progressives win, here's where to put your money

[Iwillnevergiveup]

YES! Naming names!

• Paul Clements (MI-06)- PVI- R+1- Obama beat McCain 53-45%
• Mike Obermueller (MN-02)- PVI- R+2- Obama won the district twice
• Michael Wager (OH-14)- PVI- R+4)- Sherrod won the district in 2012
• Kelly Westlund (WI-07)- PVI- R+2- Obama beat McCain 53-45%

All 4 progressives are being ignored-- at best-- by the DCCC in favor of deep red unwinnable seats in places like Arkansas where Israel hopes to bolster Blue Dogs and New Dems. Voters who value a progressive vision and do not countenance conservatives disguised as Democrats should not contribute a cent to the DCCC.

2. This sounds like 2006 all over again

Rahm Emmanuel, head of the DCCC, wanted to go with the "safe" districts and ignore ones we had never won. Howard Dean, chairman of the DNC wanted to try out his new "50 State Strategy," meaning we don't ignore a district just because it looked unwinnable in the last.

Whaddya know, Howard was right, and we took the House and the Senate in 2006, and then the White House in 2008.

Why was Howard right then and wrong now? Simple. He wasn't wrong then and he isn't wrong now. We listened then, and aren't now.
