I don’t watch TV at home, which makes experiencing it in airports and hotel lobbies when I travel that much more disorienting.
A couple of nights ago I saw some random Republican talking head on some random cable channel say that Christine O’Donnell had been a boon to the GOP this year, because her over-the-top, telegenic extremist craziness had distracted attention from the less flamboyant extremist craziness of other Republican Senate candidates, like the loon in Wisconsin whose name I can’t currently recall.
Down to the last two weeks, folks. Time to make those phone calls.
Phone banking sites:
Organizing for America (DNC)
Call Out the Vote - PCCC
I’m using the Progressive Congressional Campaign Committee tool as I get a rash calling for Blue Dogs.
OFA claims over 745,000 calls today, shooting for a million.
Moving either or both of my links to your post will make it easier for readers to make some calls.

Speaking of “Hadn’t thought of it like that” a friend just sent me a fabulous gag, something I’d love to say to O’Donnell: a typical reverent sketch of Jesus with the caption underneath “IF YOU DON’T SIN then he died for nothing.” I only wish I could put an illustration in the comments.
