Didn't Honeycutt raise her cash through that GOP direct mail scam?

[Mr.Phips]

I heard about this.  If they waste money in this district they deserve a smack across the head.  No Republican is going to win this only 40% white district, especially in a year where black turnout is likely to at a record level.

If only they were spending this cash in IA-04 or CA-50. Unfortunately, the DCCC seems to be intent on appeasing the Congressional Black Caucus, which is comprised of many members who are currently withholding membership dues from the DCCC.

Yeah, IA-04 especially.  That would be a seat that Democrats would be able to hold for a long time.

2 years is a long time? That's how long it would be held until it's eliminated by redistricting when Iowa loses a seat.

Actually four years.

It does help to tie Scott to Obama, who is mentioned by name, so I guess it might help Obama a little bit as well?  But, yeah, complete waste of money.  Complete.

I wonder if this has more to do with boosting black turnout. Sort of like how I'll GOTV for Obama with the real intention being to help Franken and Tinklenberg.

[Bacon King]

David Scott is always the one Georgia congressman whose name I can't remember. This is almost certainly an attempt to boost black turnout to help Obama and Martin, and the DCCC/CBC thing that MarkWarner mentioned is probably part of it too.

[Sam Spade]

Maybe this is the reason why they spent some money.
