DU, I've Got A Challenge For You. Tell Me Where I Should Spend My Money...

[writes3000]

To help the cause today, I'm willing to donate $500 to the best Democratic party cause DU agrees on. The only caveat is it cannot be a donation to Obama For America. I've maxed out there.

So where should I donate?

The cause with the most votes in two hours wins.

[Panasonic]

1. I'd split it to two deserving Senate candidates that could use some help

Elizabeth Warren of MA
Dr. Richard Carmona of AZ (has an excellent chance of winning!)

[titaniumsalute]

2. I'll email you my address

[writes3000]

5. Ok, that made me laugh.

I'm sure you're a wonderful Democratic cause.

[titaniumsalute]

21. My real answer

I'm spending on Sherrod Brown in Ohio. He's very progressive and us a great asset in the Senate. Yesterday he said he's had $18 million so far spent against him in Ohio TV from super PACS.

[Cirque du So-What]

27. That's my choice as well

I consider the Senate race in Ohio the penultimate campaign, with the Presidential race being, of course, the ultimate.

3. Chris Murphy in Conn.

He is way out-funded by Linda McMahon (and her WWE fortune).

Please help us get Lieberman's senate seat back into true Democratic hands.

8. I agree. Murphy

[CTyankee]

19. Another vote for Chris Murphy! We must NOT have Linda McMahon in the Senate!

We Dems threw Joe Lieberman out of our party and we want that seat to be a true blue Democratic one in the U.S. Senate!

[southernyankeebelle]

26. Yep that is a great idea. Mr Murphy seems to be the man.

If you don't want to put it in their why don't you put it into helping your local community. We have a place that asks for money to feed people for thanksgiving. Or better yet why don't you give it to your local community that raises funds for the children during christmas. Just a suggestion.

[LP2K12]

11. Mine...

Chris Murphy
Elizabeth Warren

[GallopingGhost]

12. I have to second

the Warren/Carmona choice.

I like Warren, and hope she gets elected, but as a former Arizonan, I'd love to see the Republican death grip on that state loosened.

[JaneQPublic]

13. Here are names I have or am hoping to donate to.

Elizabeth Warren (Sen-MA)

Wayne Powell (House-VA: Cantor's opponent)

Tammy Duckworth (House-IL: Walsh's opponent)

Patrick Murphy (House-FL: Allen West's opponent)

Tammy Baldwin (Sen-WI: Tommy Thompson's opponent)

Joe Donnelly (Sen-IL: Teabagger Mourdock's opponent)

Rob Serban (House-WI: Ryan's opponent)

Jim Graves (House-MN" Michelle Bachman's opponent)

[writes3000]

14. Keep Voting and I'll donate to the second and third place finishers as well.

[amborin]

15. Priorities USA

[riverwalker]

16. Zerban/Graves/Powell

can beat Ryan, Bachmann, and Cantor if we all help.

[woofless]

17. AFL/CIO

Mr. Trumka et/al will see that it gets into good hands.

[demwing]

18. Three Races

150 - Elizabeth Warren
150 - Alan Grayson
200 - Patrick Murphy (Alan West's opponent)

[mnhtnbb]

20. Montana Congress race-- Kim Gillan

http://www.gillanforcongress.com/

It's a close race and $$ could really make a difference here.

[tarheelsunc]

22. Chris Murphy (CT), Rob Zerban (WI), or Wayne Powell (VA)

These guys all have a good shot at winning but are up against the GOP's wealth. I would say Elizabeth Warren, but I think her chances at winning are very good already. Who knows what it might be that pushes one of the aforementioned 3 over the top but I think all 3 have a good chance.

[writes3000]

23. THE RESULTS....let's win both houses of Congress!!!

Based on your votes, I'm donating...

$500 to Elizabeth Warren

$100 each to Chris Murphy, Rob Zerban and Wayne Powell

$50 each to Richard Carmona and Patrick Murphy

Thanks to everyone who participated.

I'm fired up and ready to go!

[CTyankee]

24. This CT yankee thanks you!

You have truly done the lord's work here!

[writes3000]

28. You're welcome! We're in this together! I will say, as I went to each candidate's website...

I found myself filled with so much pride that we have so many great candidates on our side. It really boosted my confidence.

[mercuryblues]

25. I don't even live in CT any longer

but the idea of someone like Mcmahon representing that state is repuslive to me.

[Autumn Colors]

29. Thanks from me, too!

Your help is very much appreciated!! The thought of Linda McMahon representing my state makes me ill.

[JaneQPublic]

30. Well done!

You've inspired me to chip in a few more coins to worth Dem candidates!
