Phonebank for the Special Election (Harman's former seat)
Edited on Sat Jul-09-11 12:26 PM by tishaLA
If you can make it, go to 6700 S Centinela anytime before Tuesday to help GOTV and elect janice Hahn.

Edited to spell Jane Harman's name correctly. Sheesh.

1. Is Hahn about to pull a Martha Coakley on us?

Democrat Janice Hahn is the favorite in a California congressional election Tuesday, but the likelihood of a meager turnout, combined with widespread voter anxiety over the economy, could make for a tight finish.

Despite the registration edge for Democrats, tallies of mail-in ballots suggest a potentially close finish. In a little-noticed election on a mid-summer day, turnout will be the key to winning the seat vacated when longtime Democratic Rep. Jane Harman resigned to run a nonpartisan think tank in Washington....

Each campaign has pooled over $1 million for the contest and plowed much of it into sharp-edged advertising: Hahn has sought to link Huey to Sarah Palin and refers to his agenda as "extremist," while Huey has derided Hahn as a career politician with ties to a troubled gang-intervention program....

Hahn, a Los Angeles councilwoman, is counting on a strong push from organized labor. Huey, who owns marketing and advertising companies and has largely bankrolled his campaign with personal funds, has tea-party activists working on his behalf.

If they can get a teabagger elected in L.A., we're doomed. :scared:

Angelenos, you know what do do. Go to your actual polling place and vote the old-fashioned way!

2. Weekend poll has her up by 8 among LIKELY voters. And UNLIKE Coakley, she has run a STRONG campaign
Edited on Tue Jul-12-11 12:59 PM by RBInMaine
without giving an inch to that TeaPuke. She has worked the ground HARD. She has BASHED him hard on the trail, in the debate, through the mail, and on the air. She has a strong ground game, and I think she'll win. Few or none are predicting Huey to actually win. Plus Huey just got served papers for not paying child support. BAD thing to hit the airwaves just before an election. Coakley lost because she ran a SHITTY, SHITTY, SHITTY campaign. This was not the case with Hahn by any means.
