Mapchangers

I do appreciate Mark Warner's efforts to engage the netroots and work towards electing Democrats in November. I just participated in his "Mapchangers" competition. The winners of the balloting will get $5000 from his PAC, and the grand prize winner gets a fundraiser with Gov. Warner. This is the way to get traction in the netroots over a party at the Stratosphere, in my opinion (though chocolate fondue is pretty).

Here's my ballot:

My MapChangers

Forward Together PAC

I do appreciate candidates that are building bridges to the netroots. Feingold's doing the same with his Progressive Patriots Fund. Actually, it's exactly the same.
