Steve Young has more than a long shot at CA-48

Yesterday, DavidNYC, from SwingStateProject put the race on the frontpage of DailyKos and at last count before DKos crashed we had 128 comments. Of course the crash had to happen while we were red hot! :))

One of the solid House analyst's is Superribbie [This won't be available until dKos is back up] and his analysis of the race, based on pure mathematics, (assuming a voting pattern similar to the Primary), showed  us coming in with 41%, Campbell 39% and Gilchrist 20%.

My personal analysis is a little different as I think Gilchrist will score better changing the numbers. But we are on TV this weekend and Monday/Tuesday as well as having our live figures, like on the website, in the OC Register! Those figures drive a tremendous amount of traffic to the site.

What do we need today, Saturday? We need even more cash. While the last FEC report hasn't showed the Net contributions, which have really poured in the last 11 days, the more we can raise this weekend the more confident we are in increasing our Media (TV and Newspaper) buys right up to 8 PM Tuesday when the polls close! So whether the cash can reach us that fast isn't the issue. The issue is that the cash is in the pipeline!

So dig deep readers and do your best to support this worthy candidate with your hard earned money.

PS: We have put on the front page of our website the world's first 'Live Q & A Window' for those that have questions. Manned only by senior staff, this is a way to get your questions, or those of an associate, answered in real time. Think of it as 'Live One on One Blogging'! And it's the world's first on any Political Website. Give it a try right now. The window is open...

PPS: My fellow Bloggers: RUN WITH THIS STORY! Please. The greater reach we get the more Virtual Phone Bankers, see diaries at MyDD or Dkos, the more cash, the more volunteers we can get at the last minute! And we need them all.
