Another boost for Wulsin

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced today that Democrat Victoria Wulsin has been added to the Red to Blue fundraising program.

Democrats John Cranley, who is challenging Rep. Steve Chabot in the 1st District, and Ken Lucas, who is running against Rep. Geoff Davis in Northern Kentucky, are already in the 40-candidate program.

According to a release from DCCC, this distinction is intended to provide “top Democratic campaigns across the country an extra financial boost and strategic support.”

“The program highlights top Democratic campaigns and offers them financial, communications and strategic support,” the release continued.

More from the release:

“Dr. Victoria Wulsin is a candidate for change who, unlike Jean Schmidt, will put Ohio families first in Washington,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, Co-Chair of the DCCC Red to Blue program. “During her short time in Washington, Jean Schmidt has managed not only to embarrass her district but has voted in lockstep with President Bush and the GOP’s failed agenda. Dr. Wulsin will provide the leadership and new direction Ohio families deserve in their Member of Congress.”

In 2004, the Red to Blue program raised nearly $7.5 million for twenty seven campaigns across the country with an average of more than $250,000 per
campaign. Red to Blue was also responsible for solidifying the structure of dozens of campaigns and making a real difference for Democrats across America.

About Red to Blue
The Red to Blue program is designed to provide financial and structural aid to the strongest Democratic candidates across the country. The program will introduce Democratic supporters to new, competitive campaigns in order to help expand the fundraising base for these campaigns.

The Red to Blue Program is co-chaired by two Democratic Members of Congress who will help the Red to Blue candidates in their campaigns. Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) will provide assistance on many aspects of campaigning.

The kiss of death for Wulsin. The out-of-town liberals being trucked in are out-of-their-minds if they think their pro-abortion, tax and spend ways will do anything other than alienate voters in the Second District.

Enquirer got it wrong. Wulsin was not added to the "top tier". Wulsin is in the "Fourth Tier". In other words, they think she might kinda sorta maybe have a tiny bit of a chance. If the DCCC thought that Wulsin had a real chance, they'd have her in the second or first tiers. Nice spin from Wulsin, which was swallowed whole by the Enquirer. In reality, it is bad news for the Wulsin camp.

Wulsin is second from the bottom on a 4th tier list the democrats created as a catch all for also ran candidates. Whoever Wulsin has in charge of spin has got to be dizzy after this one. I noticed that the Enquirer did a fact check on Wulsin's ad and found it misleading. In fact they point out that the democrats were trying to funnel money out of homeland secutity. Lets see Vic spin this one.

With the limitation of spreading the Red to Blue funds across the many national races, I DO think it is a feather in Wulsin's cap to be added to any tier of their list & receive funding from that source.

Despite the heavy barrage of Republican National Committee mailings (I received no less than 10 large, full-color inflammatory notices in the past few weeks), I think that Jean Schmidt's lack of consideration for her Ohio constituents has created a serious exposure for the Republicans.

In spite of all that public misrepresentation and Dr. Wulsin's lack of prior political involvement, she is in fact being taken seriously as a threat to "Mean Jean", President Bush's Yes-Girl. This should be an interesting week...
