AMERICAblog: Tom Allen is closing the gap with Susan Collins

    Maine's a blue state and it has two Repub Senators.

    Snowe came in in '95 and Collins in '97.

    Another example of Clinton-style party building.

    Are you paying attention, Super Delegates?

    Fact check: Clinton vote claims under scrutiny


    WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's assertions that she leads Barack Obama in the popular vote are a stretch, at best.

    The New York senator is using such claims to shore up supporters and help justify why she's still in the Democratic presidential race despite trailing Obama in the number of convention delegates earned in primaries and caucuses.

    The argument is supported only by using dubious math on two fronts: by excluding several caucus states won by Obama and by including Florida and Michigan primary results that the Democratic Party, to date, is rejecting.

    Count this among the many other things that Hillbots have no problem with.

    No doubt that Tom Allen will win in November. The Obama surge (bringing out young voters) will pull Allen over the top and take him to victory.

    OT, but thought you all might want to know who's going to jail...(From the San Diego Union Tribune via TPM):

    The contrition, tears and poor health of Thomas Kontogiannis were not enough to spare him a prison sentence of eight years and one month for his role laundering bribe money for former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham.

    On Friday, U.S. District Judge Larry Burns also fined the wealthy Long Island financier $1,050,000 - twice the value of the bribe that Kontogiannis laundered through fraudulent mortgages that allowed Cunningham to buy a $2.4 million mansion in Rancho Santa Fe.

    How the mighty have fallen. : )

    And don't forget Scott Kleeb from Nebraska at ActBlue also. His Republican opponent (former Governor) already has $2,000,000 on hand for the Senate campaign. Anything that we can get for Scott will definitely help. (His website is www.scottkleeb.com) .

    Feeling optimistic about Allen. Think Collins has been skating by on name recognition and low information. As a Rep. Maine folks probably less familiar with him than a Sen. Almost a third of liberals supporting Collins? That should flip if they get a chance to compare records -- and some of the moderates as well. Wonder what Lieberman will do without his Enabler-in-Chief.

    PS: Allen also defeated a Repug incumbent for his House seat.

    Not to change the subject, but since we are fundraising for Allen it made me think...where can we see how much we've raised for Noreiga? (And Allen) I see where we CAN donate, but I would like another graph.

    I'm a visual person, so sue me. ;o)

    I think the red flags should go out if Collins is in trouble if she falls below 50% job approval rating... As I stated in the past, the group that will swing the election to either candidate, registered Independent women voters. Allen needs to make roads to persuade them...

    Make it a trifecta at ActBlue. Donate to Doug Tudor in FL-12 and help us kick out Adam Putnam, Bu$h rubber-stamper extraordinaire.
