You hold the stake...

...I'll swing the hammer, and we can go all Buffy on the Republican Congresscritters that have been sucking the blood out of our civil liberties, job market and international prestige.

Or I'll hold the stake, and you swing the hammer. All I know is it's going to take working together to get the job done, and it's going to mean working on every possible front, including Congressional as well as the Presidency.

All that by introducing a new entry into the blogosphere, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's The Stakeholder.

It looks just fine so far - nice clean design and some quality content. All it needs is some more attention from folks like you and me to help them hammer the stake home.

It was a great place to follow the DCCC involvement in the special election in Kentucky, giving a look at just what kind of impact those Caucus committees can have in a key race. One encouraging note that came in on the heels of the victory of Rep. Ben Chandler (D-KY) (gee, it felt good to type that!) was...

"Bush doesn't appear to have any coattails. In fact, he appears to have hurt Kerr. At the beginning of this race, she claimed in TV ads that she was "cut from the same cloth" as Bush. When they saw her negatives rise and no positive movement in the polls, she and the NRCC changed the message - Spokesperson Carl Forti claimed it was “...an election between Alice Forgy Kerr and Ben Chandler. President Bush is not part of this campaign.”

Anyway, The Stakeholder is worth a bookmark.
