"Democrats took their first formal step yesterday toward trying to nationalize next year's midterm House elections around the issue of ethics, buying ads in the local papers of six Republican lawmakers calling on them to "start working for us" instead of special interests.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is spending $36,000 on the ads -- a virtually meaningless sum, by itself -- but calls it the beginning of a campaign to fuel an anti-incumbent fever like the one that swept its party out in 1994."-from the Washington Post story, via the post on Dem Bloggers by Brian Hopkins. He says: "We have to start mobilizing for the '06 elections. Howard Dean put it best, this is a 2 year election cycle so we have to use those 2 years."
