BREAKING: Reps Hall, Gillibrand and Arcuri Added to DCCC's "Frontline" Program

by: phillip anderson

Thu Feb 15, 2007 at 13:15:03 PM EST


The DCCC has just announced that New York Reps John Hall (NY-19), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY-20) and Michael Arcuri (NY-24) have been added to their "Frontline" program, which "lays the ground work for the 2008 cycle by supporting and expanding their fundraising and outreach operations." 29 Reps were chosen overall and it's good to see D-trip is going to go all out for Hall, Gillibrand and Arcuri. The GOP wants those seats back awfully bad and they're gonna make a serious run at them. CW is that Gillibrand is the more vulnerable of the three, though I think that she'll be just fine.

From the press release:

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chair of the Frontline Program, said: "Our Frontline Members inspired the confidence of their constituents during their campaigns for Congress. They made the commitment to move our country in a new direction. They are our Majority Makers. The Frontline program will build on their strengths, providing them with the money, message and strategy they need to successfully position themselves for reelection in 2008."

...

The Frontline Program is a partnership between the DCCC and Members which lays the ground work for the 2008 cycle by supporting and expanding their fundraising and outreach operations. This competitive program requires members to meet aggressive fundraising goals, accelerate volunteer and recruitment efforts, and increase on-line networking.

TODAY is day one. It always is.

KOS KLANNERS!

What a long, strange trip it's been.

Arcuri too (4.00 / 1)
Looks like upstate is a battleground.

I added NY-24 to the tags list.


duh (0.00 / 0)
i was so rushing to get this out there. sorry.

TODAY is day one. It always is.

Arcuri's seat is the safest of the 3 (0.00 / 0)
though I think all 3 will face well-funded challengers

[ Parent ]
Nearly all of those listed are freshmen (0.00 / 0)
With the exception of people like Chet Edwards and John Barrow who are perennially challenged.  I wonder why Nancy Boyda didn't make the list that is def going to be one where Dems will be on the defensive.

I Wondered the same thing myself, (0.00 / 0)

FRONTLINE UPDATE #2: To those of you commenting here at The Stakeholder and elsewhere, first of all, know that we hear you and appreciate your input.

Specifically, I've heard a number of people wonder why Nancy Boyda (KS-02) and Carol Shea-Porter (NH-01) aren't on the list. We're certainly not "writing anyone off." In 2006, Representatives Boyda and Shea-Porter ran strong, independent grassroots campaigns. Should the Republicans target them with misleading or baseless attacks we stand ready to help.

Does that mean "we only protect those that we chose to pull up"? A little bit offput by this..

If Sweeney runs again it will be (0.00 / 0)
somewhat easier for Gillibrand to keep her seat, don't you think?

We know his vulnerable points and his tactics.

What a long, strange trip it's been.


Yes, Gillibrand kicked his ass every which way (0.00 / 0)
He was sitting on top of a solid lead, but he blew it big time. The district is trending blue so if they send the SOS back at her, she will kick his ass to the curb again.
