Aw, c'mon.

It's time to click on over to the Upper Left ActBlue page and split a twenty or drop a hundred or just put five bucks into the coffers of your favorite.

While all the candidates on the page are deserving of your support, I do have a recommendation. I've been touting Darcy Burner as the candidate to give to if you're only giving to one, but it's time to shift the focus a bit. Darcy's still probably our best bet for a Democratic pick up in the upper left, Peter Goldmark's been coming on strong of late. If you don't know why, or don't know Peter at all, check out the interviews he's done with Lynn Allen of Evergreen Politics and Douglass, guesting at McCranium.

While he's been recently added to the DCCC target list, he's still a little behind the curve. By now, a lot of the money that the DCCC can steer to a candidate has already been allocated. At this point, the kind of grassroots fundraising that blogs and ActBlue are best at facilitating is particularly important to an emerging candidate like Goldmark. He gets it, too, evidenced by his outreach to Douglass and Lynn.

The impending FEC report may be decisive in Peter's ability attract the large donor and institutional money that he needs to saturate a widespread and largely rural district. Every donor, every dollar, that he can add to his totals today matters. Your five (or fifty) bucks just might be the tipping point in the campaign to take back Speaker Tom's seat.

So, here's the link again. Do what you can for Peter Goldmark, and, if you can do more, do what you can for Maria, Darcy, Richard and/or Jim, too.

Just do something.
