I've been keeping an eye on this centerpiece of the Democratic 2014 midterm election strategy since news of it first appeared in February. From The New York Times:
WASHINGTON — The Democrats’ plan to hold on to their narrow Senate majority goes by the name “Bannock Street project.” It runs through 10 states, includes a $60 million investment and requires more than 4,000 paid staff members. And the effort will need all of that — and perhaps more — to achieve its goal, which is nothing short of changing the character of the electorate in a midterm cycle. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is preparing its largest and most data-driven ground game yet, relying on an aggressive combination of voter registration, get-out-the-vote and persuasion efforts.
Part of the plan is to get the word out to voters that THE KOCH BROTHERS are largely behind all these BS ads - mostly Obamacare lies - that have already been playing in a few competitive states. There is some calculation that Dems might only need a tenth of the Koch/Goposaur budget until the Koch garbage starts backfiring, and their own money starts working against them.
finally some signs of life within the Progressive party, good plan but it all is incumbent on us the Progressive voters to get out and break the chain on midterm indifference, it's all for us, but means nothing if it isn't by us. Nov. 4th time to stand and deliver if you think enough will carry the day without your vote you are grossly underestimating yourself and your importance to the rest of our lives, together ":yes we can", divided "hell no you can't" the former by the Pres. the latter by Speaker Beohner, who do you trust you family's lives to?
