and got no response so I kinda dropped the whole thing.

I know others have run and had campaign fund requests, but this one isn't that expensive and I can cover it myself. Besides, we haven't had an organized Democratic campaign around for a long time and local donors have been quite supportive.

Anyone living in the area, and there are one or two, can help with the phone calls and canvassing. Actually phone banks can be set up anywhere.

In the long run, I'd kinda like to see DU involved in phone banking, fund raising, general stuff like artwork and campaign literature, and other things that could be done by an interested group. I think such things have been tried with questionable results.

If I may add to the general hysteria in this thread, one thing we don't need is advice and complaints from the legions of one-handed typists
