McMahon in DC

The DCCC brought several high profile race candidates to DC for some crash courses on various campaign needs, Mike McMahon was one of a small handful. We get some great reassurance that our chances are good this November;

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed the group at a breakfast on Thursday, and McMahon said she and others who spoke pointed to the 13th Congressional District "as one of the seats most likely for [Democratic] success."

Speaker Pelosi is a McMahon donor

Her campaign committee Nancy Pelosi for Congress has given $4,000, presumably $2,000 for the primary and $2,000 for the general election. The filings are still being uploaded...

update:
Also donating from the NY Congressional delegation;

Rep. Gary Ackerman, $2,000
Rep. Engel, $1,000
Rep. Anthony Weiner, $2,000
Rep. Nadler, $4,000
Rep. Crowley, $2,000
Rep. McNulty, $2,000
Rep. Rangel, $4,000
Rep. Israel, $2,000
Rep. Lowey, $1,000

Also Mike McMahon gave himself $1,000.

Blog Roundup

Fossella still has no comment on whether he thinks American soldier deaths are a "small price to pay." No surprise.

Mole333 is asking readers to kick in $10 to Stephen Harrison's campaign.

The Daily Politics, wait for it, covers a story on the race! It follows a few non-New York stories but it is better than the rest of the year when they don't cover it. (It is kinda near the bottom)

And the Post is saying that Speaker Pelosi herself is wooing Recchia? Somehow I have doubts, and nothing against Domenic or anyone else, but I find it hard to believe. If this was a top 5 pickup potential maybe, even then a stretch, but with the amount of pickups out there, this among them I can't see the Speaker doing the job of the DCCC chair.
