The DNC is running a campaign for the home stretch right now. They have people lined up to match any donation you care to make. As I said earlier today, I’ve been giving to specific candidates this year, but two things just convinced me to make an exception. You can’t beat getting 2-to-1 on your money, and then there’s this:

The DSCC’s optimism about winning the Senate is apparently contagious as the DNC is going to pony up an extra $5-10M for the Senate committee, according to sources familiar with the previously reported arrangement between the two campaign orgs.

While the DNC doesn’t have $10M to just toss around to another campaign committee, the DNC apparently has decided to go into debt to come up with the extra cash DSCC Chair Chuck Schumer has been pleading for from DNC Chair Howard Dean. The actual amount of the loan the DNC is taking out is not known as the committee holds out hope they can raise nearly everything they need before the election. But a line of credit has been opened.

Any money the DNC raises by themselves is money they don’t have to borrow at interest. Likewise, any money the DNC pushes toward Senate races buys Dean some breathing room as he attempts to build the party in places like Moberly, MO.

And seriously, John McCain just might have to kill himself after all, so it’s really win-win for everyone.

We’ve never asked for money to maintain this site, we’ve never taken ad money, and we never will. If you get any value out of reading us every day, please consider kicking down a few dollars to the DNC if you have it.

For those of you who can’t/won’t play the money game, MoveOn has put together a handy tool that makes it easy to phone bank from anywhere to the most competitive districts. This is great for people, like me, who are stuck with their Representative, but want to help elsewhere. Who’s got some anytime minutes left over?
