Think about giving to competitive House races in swing states. Some of these are winnable. For example, JR Gaillot actually could take the district that used to belong to CLIFF STEARNS (the Planned Parenthood investigation asshole). Stearns was primaried–the guy who won, Yoho, is EVEN WORSE. Teabagger who has never held political office. The district actually leans Dem. PLEASE throw Gaillot some change if you can. He is very underfunded because he wasn’t in the grifter in-crowd with the state/local Dem party who are a bunch of useless shits. Scuze my french.
We could have tossed Stearns in 2006 but the local dems didn’t want to. Came DAMN close with a guy with no money.
Please help!

Donated to Obama. I am operating on the theory of coattails.

Alas, as a non-American I can contribute only my good wishes.

For PEC junkies, I’d note that right now even with a +2% swing in the polls (from error or changing circumstances), Romney would still lose today: http://election.princeton.edu/map/?rep (you have to fiddle with any state – change it and then change it back – to get the math to update correctly)

@Amir Khalid: can’t you secretly donate to superpacs? or, more seriously, make phone calls to swing states (using skype)?

I like that post title verrrrry much.

“MBAL,” the latest in a proud line of incomprehensible Balloon Juice shibboleths, probably deserves a glossary entry.

I’ve given less this year than in 2008. Sigh. Money is just tight this year.

@Amir Khalid: If you are close to a democratic office you can walk in and put some cash in the kitty and maybe get a bumper sticker.

I rather doubt that either the Democratic party or Obama’s campaign has offices in Kuala Lumpur.
@xian:
There’s a principle involved here. If I don’t approve of American right-wing bloggers messing about in Malaysian politics, then I should myself refrain from messing about in American politics.

@Amir Khalid: If he did, he’d be in that super-tall building! You have to admit that!
Just messing with you. I agree with your principled stance.

@maven:
Actually, I think that foreigners buying official campaign merchandise is not allowed by our election laws because it is considered a campaign contribution, and foreign nationals are not allowed to contribute to US politicians.
Sorry, Amir!

Wish ActBlue took PayPal, I’m trying to use the credit plastic as little as possible.

Word on the street in MN is that R rep John Kline’s seat may be ready to turn D. Here’s some info on his opponent, Mike Obermueller.
It would be really sweet to grab this seat and get rid of the odious Kline.

Sweet Jesus, Mitt is bad at this speechifying thing. He’s recalling his 9/11 memories with absolutely zero emotional connection. And if I was a faster typist I could transcribe what’s arriving on the teleprompter right down to the line breaks. Not one of these words is pausing long enough in his brain to register an emotion.

@? Martin: There are times when things get too overwhelming I wish I could be like Mitt and simply unplug my emotion chip.

Not to get all Frist and shit, and this opinion is worth every cent you paid for it, but there are times I’ve wondered if he has attachment disorder.

@? Martin:
I noticed during his convention speech that he wasn’t very good at managing the line breaks on the teleprompter. You could just pick up this cadance where he would stutter or fluff words.

I’m sorry to keep harping on this, but why don’t you put the ActBlue link in the sidebar?
