We DU'ers have GOT to reward Heidi Heitkamp for her courage on the Kavanaugh vote

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

Real Clear Politics average has her down 42% to Kevin Cramer's 50.7. She did the right thing (unlike Manchin, but I understand his seat-saving strategy). Send our Democrat in blood-red North Dakota cash to work with! This is a f*cking war, let's cry in our beers later, right now, we have to wipe out all of these rapey, m-fing Republicans! Dig deep, my sisters and brothers, to win back the Senate!

Sen. Heitkamp put her money where her mouth was, and now so have you! Awesome I sent $25. I hope there's time for her to turn things around. We *need* women in the Senate, let's keep her there, let's protect our own!

The latest polling shows her in a strong lead right?

Interesting — about 1/2way down this page it shows that the relative value of each vote is highest - by quite a bit - in ND. So every additional person who can be persuaded to vote for the first time, or vote in the midterms for the first time, can make a huge difference. And no deadline for voter registration, they can just show up. Good prospect for anyone who can volunteer! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-midterm-election-forecast/senate/
