NY-26: Jon Powers Thankful For That Daily Kos Cash
by Matt at Aug 8th, 2008
It wasn’t too long ago that I reported that Jon Powers was selected by the Daily Kos to be a part of their “Orange To Blue” program… which basically opened up the Jon Powers’ campaign coffers to even more cashfrom left-wing activists from outside of the 26th District.
Well, it appears that the Daily Kos community came through for Jon Powers, who was so thankful for their cash he blogged his words of praise there yesterday:
Yesterday, the Dailykos community really came through for our campaign. Early in the morning, the editorial staff challenged the readership to secure 200 donations for the Powers for Congress and Annette Taddeo’s campaign.
Throughout the day, repeated posts were front paged giving us updates and encouraging people to join in. Then, my friend, John Kerry, honored us by posting a diary of his own in support of our race in Western New York.
Powers also revealed that his campaign will soon be airing a television ad:
We will be reporting in to you about our campaign and debuting our TV ads very soon.
I just wanted to stop by and say, thank you, DailyKos. Your support means a great deal to us.
Considering how much of his campaign cash comes from those out-of-state left-wingers, I imagine the support he gets from them means a lot more to him than whatever support he has that is actually in his district.
