Send lawyers, guns and money...

...whatever. Send something. (...well, maybe not guns...yet...)

Lynn Allen, posting at Evergreen Politics, has a great idea...

We need a national Democratic SWAT team that can come into the states on a moment’s notice once we realize that national Republican operatives have arrived.

Watching the new desks crowding the state Republican headquarters in Bellevue, she writes about the assault on Chris Gregiore's win...

No wonder national money from business groups flowed into the state to stop her. No wonder the national Republicans are strategizing behind the scenes for Dino Rossi and Chris Vance and whipping up emotions through talk radio shows and flashy billboards. This is the great Republican noise machine in action, designed to distract us and keep us from making government work in this state.

Regardless of who you support for DNC Chair, this is an idea to put on their agenda. It's a good time to get ahold of your DNC representatives and tell them you want commitments of national support for local battles all year, every year.

This is the era of the permanent campaign, and we'd better start waging it.
