Bob Lord is running against the anti-choice,
anti-stem cell research idealogue John Shadegg in Arizona's

Blue Catapult
Supports Jerry McNerney
California's 11th Congressional District
is in the good hands of Jerry
McNerney. As one of the top targets for the NRCC,
Jerry needs to hold his seat so that he can continue
his work in the development of alternative energy.

Jeanne
Shaheen Adopted by Blue Catapult
Looking like revenge will be sweet for Jeanne
Shaheen and the New Hampshire Democrats, Blue Catapult
has made her our first adopted candidate for the 2008
election cycle. Polls show her avenging her very narrow
2002 loss to John Sununu, with a Granite State poll
having her lead Sununu 54%-37%. The former popular Governor
is both effective and intelligent and will be critical
in moving the state of New Hampshire into the Blue column
in November.
