The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee finally wakes up to the fact that they have a great candidate in Scott McAdams.

From UAF Sun Star:

As of Thursday afternoon, Sept. 30, Democrat Scott McAdams was the only Alaskan senatorial candidate in possession of a war chest built entirely upon the generosity of Alaskan voters. That fact changed Thursday night when McAdams received a check from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).

According to a Sept. 30 article by the Alaska Dispatch, both of McAdams’ opponents had received funding from sources outside of the state of Alaska. GOP primary victor Joe Miller received close to $600,000 from the California-based Tea Party Express, while incumbent write-in candidate Lisa Murkowski received over $177,000 from various energy-based Political Action Committees (PAC), primarily from the coal industry.

Friday morning, McAdams made a statement saying, “The DSCC has invested in our campaign.” How much? “Their first check was for $42,000,” he said, implying that more is yet to come.

Well it is about damn time! 

Of all of the potential races out there I cannot imagine why the DSCC is NOT throwing handfuls of money at this candidate. He is smart, capable, and extremely likable, and he is up against two candidates who are the very example of what is wrong with the modern Republican party.

In my opinion this $42,000 is an embarrassingly tiny amount and I certainly hope that the DSCC loosens those purse strings and gives McAdams the kind of money he needs to have a real shot against two campaigns with hundreds of thousands of dollars at their disposal.

I don't know about other Alaskans but I cannot go anywhere on the internet these days without running into a Joe Miller Google ad. THAT is the kind of saturation that McAdams needs as well.
