I’m proud to have worked for Joel Rogers while I was at the University of Wisconsin. He has wise council for progressives concerning the 2000 elections: concentrate on the House.
“If you really want to make a difference, get organized and target. Don’t sweat the presidential or Senate stuff, as neither your vote nor money will make much difference. Concentrate on the House races. Mass your money into fifteen competitive contests, coordinated with the AFL-CIO and others doing similar targeting, perhaps by forming a Nation Reader PAC, to which we might contribute. Figure 100,000 subscribers, many of more than adequate means. Figure 30 percent taking a pledge at $500 apiece. A nice war chest of $15 million, which, spent over as many races, could work some constructive damage and help take back the House.”
