http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/dccc-adds-eight-to-red-to-blue-2008-10-14.htmlThe Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has added eight challengers to its Red to Blue program, expanding the program to more than 60 races.
The DCCC is now targeting nearly one-third of Republican-held seats.
Included now are previous long-shots Larry Joe Doherty in Texas, Becky Greenwald in Iowa, Jim Harlan in Louisiana, Linda Ketner in South Carolina, Nick Leibham in California, Josh Segall in Alabama, Dennis Shulman in New Jersey and
El Tinklenberg in Minnesota.Now, this is good news of it means the national party is going to spend some money in the district. But if they're going to "help" Tinklenberg the way they "helped" Wetterling in 2006 by running ads trying to paint Bachmann as someone who will raise taxes, we'd be better off without them in the 6th. Let's hope they just send boatloads of cash and leave the creative work to folks in the 6th--or to dumpbachmann.com.
