The Democratic Party is poised to launch a historically expensive campaign to keep control of state legislatures in anticipation that lawmakers in those chambers will play a crucial role in redrawing the federal electoral map in 2011.
In a memo sent to Democratic leaders and activists on Monday, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee’s Executive Director Michael Sargeant highlighted 15 key battlegrounds for the 2010 election and called for the establishment of a $20 million “Redistricting Fund” to help the party win those races.
“The DLCC is determined to run the largest democratic redistricting mobilization in history this year to ensure that our state legislative candidates have the resources needed to win against well-heeled Republican special interests,” according to the memo, which was passed by a Democratic source to the Huffington Post. “To make this possible, we have established the DLCC’s Redistricting Fund to deploy $20 million to races that will have the greatest impact on reapportionment.”

The ten potential Democratic “swing” chambers are: the Alabama State Senate, Colorado State Senate, Indiana House, Nevada State Senate, New Hampshire State Senate, New York State Senate, Ohio House, Pennsylvania House, Wisconsin Assembly and the Wisconsin State Senate.

As a registered democrat I am extremely way the party is going. TO MUCH SPENDING. After the election of the president, (who I feel is not qualified to be president, due to lack of inexperience). Unless you stand up to unions and special and special interest groups no votes will be received by me. I am tired of the wastefull subsidies, job killing policies. This democratic party is corrupt and I also did not like the OBAMACARE rammed down my throat. And then have all these waivers is an insult.
