Just a thought. And I know I’m not the only one or the first to think about it.
There are a handful of Dems out there gearing up to run for president in 2008. Some are even running for office this year. And, as they must, they’re building up huge warchests to finance those 2008 campaigns and demonstrate their credibility as candidates.
Right now though there are a perhaps as many as a few dozen House races around the country who don’t have a lot of money but are suddenly in races they might actually be able to win. This is what James Carville was talking about a few days ago when he said the Dems should go to the bank and outright borrow money to pump a few hundred thousand dollars into each one of those races.
Now, this occurred to me because I just got an email from a reader who’d gotten a campaign solicitation from a 2008 aspirant pleading for money for a race this year they’re running away with. Clearly that money is going to socked away for 2008.
So, of all the worthies now in the field for 2008, how much are they giving to those House challengers who, just maybe if the wave is big enough, could actually win? There’s the standard donations. There’s also hitting up their network of big givers. There’s lot of stuff that can be done.
So who’s doing what? If you know, let us know. Now’s certainly the time, if the interest in Democratic majorities next year.
