Faint Glimmers

It appears some in the DFL believe they have a chance at unseating Jim Ramstad in CD-3 with non other than Wendy Wilde.  They are so hopeful they are asking activists to go vote at a contest being done by the "Forward Together" PAC of which the Virginia Governor Mark Warner is a Honorary Chair.

In 2004 "the Rammer" took 64.61% to Deborah Watts' 35.29%, a 105,206 vote victory.  At best all the DFL can hope for is maybe a 5% gain, but by all means go vote and get your $5000 from PACs based outside the state of Minnesota.

Here is the email that was passed to me:

Vote For Wendy Wilde Today (No Kidding)
By now you know we may have a chance at unseating Jim Ramstad, ersatz moderate, in the 3rd CD with a feisty and fearless candidate -Wendy Wilde.

Many PACs are contributing to candidates after a poll is taken; poll winners get needed campaign cash. Barbara Boxer's Pac and MoveOn have done this. Now Governor Mark Warner's Pac includes Wendy in the voting. From the campaign:

Wendy Wilde has been nominated to receive $5000 from Governor Mark Warner's Forward Together PAC, but to receive the funding we need your help. Please go to: http://www.forwardtogetherpac.com/mapchangers and nominate Wendy Wilde (listed in the West column).

Candidates receiving the most support in Round 1 will advance to the second round where campaigns will compete for 10 $5000 contributions. Please forward this to your friends and family anywhere in America and ask them to also nominate Wendy Wilde!
