Netroots August Fundraising Push Update #3
Posted by James L.
Day 3 of our week-long August Netroots fundraising push has come and gone, and I'm already running out of synonyms for "wow." In 72 hours, we have smashed apart our original fundraising goal of 100 donations for each of our Netroots-endorsed House challengers by a margin of 50% or more. Our Senate endorsements have done extremely well, too. Jim Webb has already amassed over 300 new donations, and Jon Tester and Ned Lamont are on the precipice of meeting our goal of raising 250 new donations for Senate challengers this week on the combined MyDD/DailyKos/Swing State Project Actblue page. And, best of all, the momentum has not stalled--we've brought in 889 new donations yesterday, and pushed the total donations on the Netroots page over $500,000. That means we've raised over $60,000 in 72 hours for strong progressive candidates all across the country. Below is the latest chart detailing the action:
| Candidate | District | 8/20 Donors | 8/23 Donors | New Donors in Past 24hrs. | New Donors Since 8/20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ned Lamont | CT-Sen | 3064 | 3254 | 67 | 190 |
| Jon Tester | MT-Sen | 2056 | 2285 | 80 | 229 |
| Jim Webb | VA-Sen | 1270 | 1574 | 100 | 304 |
| Eric Massa | NY-29 | 905 | 1080 | 73 | 175 |
| Joe Sestak | PA-07 | 876 | 1050 | 61 | 174 |
| Patrick Murphy | PA-08 | 687 | 845 | 51 | 158 |
| Jerry McNerney | CA-11 | 681 | 849 | 57 | 168 |
| Darcy Burner | WA-08 | 679 | 867 | 71 | 188 |
| Linda Stender | NJ-07 | 508 | 658 | 49 | 150 |
| Paul Hodes | NH-02 | 465 | 643 | 61 | 178 |
| Larry Kissell | NC-08 | 427 | 576 | 53 | 149 |
| John Courage | TX-21 | 415 | 566 | 55 | 151 |
| Dan Seals | IL-10 | 375 | 519 | 55 | 144 |
| Jay Fawcett | CO-05 | 375 | 526 | 56 | 151 |
| Total | 12,783 | 15,292 | 889 | 2,509 |
If anyone's keeping score, that means that the readers of DailyKos, Swing State, and MyDD, in just 72 hours, have raised about 33% more than the conservative blogosphere's Rightroots project has for the entire cycle. Way to go, team! If you haven't had the chance to join in on our August fundraising push, and have the means, please do so here. Keep the momentum going!

Following up Predictor's comment about Sabato's Ferocious Forty."
Sabato had previously cut back his "Nifty 50" to a "Dirty 30" (don't you love these phrases?) because there just weren't enough competitve races. This year, he had to add ten more.
Further, not only does he list 16 R seats as toss-up, but he has two R seats as "lean Dem." He has joined Cook calling TX-22 as lean Dem, and has also listed PA-06 that way.
