Delaware Liberal

Last week we noted how well the Jess Scarane campaign is going (100 active volunteers who have knocked over 10,000 doors in all three counties) in spite of a press blackout from local media.    This amazing momentum is based on a great candidate with a great progressive message running against a   deeply unpopular incumbent.   "How can I help out?" is what you are thinking.   Well, hold that thought for a second and consider this.   Even highly motivated grassroots campaigns need money.  So you can help out by donating a little money and when you do, that money is going to have a huge impact.   The "win number" in a primary like this is very low (around 60,000).  It must be the lowest required primary vote win number in the nation for a Senate seat.   The low win number and the media landscape in Delaware means that an inexpensive, grassroots movement can win.   With your contribution, this primary is super winnable.    A $10, $20, $50 contribution is going to have a huge impact.  Not only that  - I'll match it.  So a $10, $20, $50 contribution is really a $20, $40, $100 contribution.   My goal is to write a check for $500 by Friday.    Make me write that check.  Do it now.   Do it because Coons is terrible. Do it because Jess Scarane is great. Just do it.       Donate Here -> jessfordelaware.com Learn More about Jess Scarane Here - > www.jessfordelaware.com/issues

Back in April when I wrote "I love Pete Buttigieg" and said that he was legit and could go the distance. I was wrong. Maybe much too moderate for my taste, being gay and smart I thought he could thread the needle and articulate his positions in a way that could appeal to leftists and centrists alike. I was wrong about that. He is as tone deaf and out of step with the Democratic primary voter as any MSNBC talking head. I was wrong. Not to blow my own horn, but unlike most bloggers, I can admit when I am wrong.

MSNBC:  Oh God! Sanders is going to be the nominee! Voters:  Oh Good! Sanders is going to be the nominee!

Even while contending with a press blackout from local media, Jess Scarane and her team have built some amazing momentum in their campaign to unseat The GOP's favorite Democrat, Chris Coons. Just take a look at some of these numbers.

100 active volunteers.

knocked over 10,000 doors,

routinely turning out 20-25 volunteers,

regularly knocking on doors in Dover, New Castle, Middletown, Newark, Wilmington, and Sussex.

This campaign is for real.   To put it in perspective, they've accomplished all of this at a point in time BEFORE Kerri Harris even started her campaign.   The 10,000 doors knocked on to date matches the number of doors the Kerri Harris campaign knocked on overall. Primary day is now 206 days from today. The entirety of the Harris campaign was 208 days. Scarane essentially has an entire Harris campaign of time left to win this. In all due respect to Scarane, it should be noted that some of this amazing momentum is related to how deeply unpopular Coons is. Unlike Harris, Scarane has the advantage of running against a person who has spent his entire time in DC building his popularity exclusively among media and business elites in DC. So this campaign is for real, and this primary is very winnable. On Monday DL will launch its online fundraiser which will allow you to take part by making a donation that will be matched. But if you don't want to wait until Monday, you can start today. To keep the momentum rolling, the campaign still needs people for canvass shifts, phone bank shifts. This is your opportunity to join a campaign that is rewriting the conventional wisdom about what is possible. Get more information sign up here: jessfordelaware.com

Q: Is Scarane for real?

A: You are goddam right she is.
