''Taking Back the House in 2006''---Support Darcy Burner

Chris Bowers on MyDD has put up his First Comprehensive 2006 House Forecast, Part II:

This part in the series focuses on eight districts where I believe Democrats have everything in place for a pickup but where we are getting shredded in the money race. For that reason, I also think that these are eight districts that the netroots should seriously consider offering their financial support. Add eight to twelve, and suddenly you have enough seats to take the House.

"WA-08. Dem: Darcy Burner. Update: Randolph Ian Gordon has dropped out.
This was an open seat in 2004, which Republican Dave Reichert won with 51.5% of the vote. This is clearly highly vulnerable to a Democratic challenge in 2006 if the primary winner can get some more money. Reichert has $580K cash on hand, while Gordon and Burner combine for $165K (most of that is Burner's). Like every other race listed here, the only thing that is separating this one from becoming top-tier is money."
