Another district tilting D
This blog has adopted the VA 10th district race as one of our favorite turnover opportunities, only partly because both Mark's and my public policy programs would benefit by damaging the competition at Georgetown, and electing its dean to congress would definitely do that, hee hee.
Today's insider poop is that the DCCC, which listed it as an "emerging race" several weeks ago (this status does not come with money), has now given Judy Feder $75,000, implying new expert judgment that she's a good bet where money can make a difference. Yours too; the DC media market is expensive. \
UPDATE: Feder has just been upgraded to the Red-to-Blue DCCC list. So has Jerry McNerney, whose election in the CA-11 would displace a particularly odious incumbent, Richard Pombo.
Thanks, was looking for a good low-profile candidate to contribute to.

My impression is that DCCC will go wall-to-wall in 35-40 districts, while giving a small amount to another 10-15. Feder seems to be in the second category.
