One of the primary ways to Expand the Map of competitive U.S. Senate seats in 2008 is to empower with resources Democrats in states that Republicans hope to take for granted, so that they can focus on more traditionally battleground states. Four such red states in 2008 are Mississippi, Kansas, Georgia, and Tennessee, where former Governor Ronnie Musgrove, former Congressman Jim Slattery, former state legislator Jim Martin, and former Tennessee Democratic Party Chair Bob Tuke are running to oust ethically questionable Roger Wicker, Bush-cover-up-artist Pat Roberts, Shameless Saxby Chambliss, and Lamar!, respectively.
You can blow the Senate Guru‘s mind by helping meet the below goals in the week ahead by contributing to these red state Democrats via the Expand the Map! ActBlue page:
| Red state Democrat | Currently At | Goal Amount | Distance to Goal |
| Bob Tuke | $40 | $100 | $60 to go |
| Jim Slattery | $350 | $500 | $150 to go |
| Ronnie Musgrove | $413 | $500 | $87 to go |
| Jim Martin | $760 | $1,000 | $240 to go |
$100 makes a huge difference. $10 makes a huge difference. We’re now less than two months from Election Day. Supporting these red state Democrats at this critical juncture expands the map, makes the NRSC sweat even more, and increases Democrats’ chances for overcoming historic Republican obstructionism in the U.S. Senate. Let’s keep that momentum going!
