The Key House Races "Candidate of the Day" thread will be posted daily up until Nov. 2 and feature a different candidate each day. Each of these candidates is in a Toss Up, Leans D, or Likely D race and represents one of the front line soldiers in the fierce battle for control of the U.S. House.
The DCCC and liberal special interest groups are pouring resources into these races and will continue to do so up until Nov. 2. Thousands of donations targeted toward the GOP candidates in competitive races will NEUTRALIZE the donations of these Democratic special interest groups. Targeted donations are KEY to the GOP taking back the House in November and derailing the Pelosi/Obama Express of failed economic policies, bailouts, higher taxes, and government takeovers.
If you want your donations to have the greatest impact, here's where to start. Click on the Republican candidate's name below to link to the website where you can make a donation.

This year the GOP's Chris Gibson, a retired Army Colonel, will try to put the seat back in Republican hands. Gibson, who holds a PhD from Cornell University, will focus his campaign on jobs, the economy, and the ballooning federal deficit.

Ping.
Funding is up to date as of the end of September. Murphy has spent a lot of money on this race and still has Gibson at a 2 to 1 disadvantage.
thanks IP
Cook just moved this to toss-up
new polls
NRCC poll has Chris up 48% /45%
And POS, internal poll has Chris up 44% / 42%.
Among those most interested in the election, he’s up 47% /42%
Murphy has a net negative with undecideds; plurality of undecided prefer a new person.

Victor Davis Hanson on Chris:
“I don’t get involved in the particulars of promoting political candidates.....but in New York’s 20th Congressional District this year one of the rarest individuals I have ever met.....if we are going to save the country, we need leaders like Gibson”
Do you feature CT-01 by any chance? The loathsome John Larson vs Tea Party favorite Republican Ann Brickley?
We are working very hard, in the district, to get our guy elected. Flip flop Murphy does not have the volunteer base, enthusism, or energy that we have. But money would really help. Thanks for all you work on this!
Colonel Chris Gibson is the real deal.
Kate, Flyover - did either of you make it to the pBS debate Thursday?
UpstateNYGuy was there, we had a great rally, we outnumbered the MoveOn Astro-Murph about 70-10. Gave Chris a really roaring welcome, and we enjoyed the opportunity to make Murphy very uncomfortable!
No I didn’t get there, but did watch it.
Great job by Chris.
Murphy’s eyes creeped me out
Anyway — will be part of the crowds lining the route for the CONVOY coming though Oct 30 !!
Repeat very slowly - “Well Kate, that’s a really good question, thank you so very much for asking...”
(puke hurl vomit)
I’m not big on the convoy idea, but come out for the RNC Fire Pelosi Bus Tour next Friday, and on November 1 - we gotta rally against Clinton.
