An idea on enhancing candidate fundraising on DU.
Not sure, but maybe GD is a good place for exposure to the DU admins.
Could code to the site software be developed that would automatically hyperlink the names of all Democrats and Republicans in Congress are posted? Limited to those that are up for re-election this November?
Hyperlink of Republican names activates an info bubble that goes to his Democratic opponent with a brief bio/pic and link to his/her Act Blue donation page.
Hyperlink to Democrats do same as above.
Should these hyperlinks be available to non-logged in readers? Seems like a smart tactic. DU could work with Act Blue so DU gets credit (totals generated from this site). How much has been raised for each candidate, number of transactions. In turn, DU could publish this data on a separate block on the home page as a tracker (no comments).
The work OmahaSteve has done with his daily ActBlue report is truly appreciated. But I think we could generate more candidate contributions by providing hyperlinks to the general audience who may not post here, but read it daily.
