Ben Jones (Tucker, GA), the DSCC Research Director, over on the DSCC's blog
From the Roots, has responded to
this mornings post on the Senate contest in Georgia:
Yes we are still working to recruit in GA and will not give up until either we have a great candidate or on April 30th. We are hearing some good news in GA so stay tuned on that front. A great candidate could emerge soon. So stay tuned...
Hmm Interesting... He's also got an assessment of the Georgia
Republicans who are running are weak. Right on. Why fold up of the Democratic Party tent in the South, yielding states like Georgia to the Republicans for the next decade or two? Sure, the GOP mostly kicked the Democrats into the Georgia ground in 2002. So now, Bush and the Republicans are running Georgia into the ground. It's 2004, and time to take the fight to the Republican turf.
As HD showed, the money will come. The belief in scarcity is not found in the recipe of success. From Dave Roberts email: I’ve got $200 to match Jerome's for a Georgia Democrat with un-knocking knees.
Also, while cross-linking with Democratic Party, if you haven't already seen, check out The Stakeholder, the DCCC's blog. Alongside the DNC's Kicking Ass blog, it's clear that the Democratic Party has arrived in the blogosphere.
