This Is It!

Written by: Kevin Shaw on Oct 30, 2007 11:20 AM EDT

The last weekend before election day!

And, according to a recent poll in the Philadelphia Bulletin, Joe Hoeffel is pulling away from the field in the Montco Commissioners race...

"The race for control of the Montgomery County Commissioners is extremely tight according to an exclusive poll by The Bulletin of the most likely, or "super voters".

"The poll indicates Democrat former commissioner and former congressman Joseph Hoeffel is likely assured one of the three council seats being vied for by the four candidates in the Nov. 6."

That's great news, but (you knew there was a "but" coming) the same poll shows Ruth Damsker in a virtual dead-heat with the Republican candidates. Ruth has been valiantly slogging away as the minority commissioner for 7 years and has certainly earned our respect and deserves a majority seat on the new commission.

With only 8 days left, this race is all about voter turnout and the margin of victory is going to be a slim one, so please, do whatever you can to help push Ruth ahead in the only poll that matters, the one on November 6. EVERY LAST VOTE WILL FIGURE LARGE IN RUTH'S VICTORY.

"The poll of 1,335 Montgomery County super voters has a margin of error of 2.5 percent; meaning Castor, Matthews and Damsker are in a VIRTUAL DEAD HEAT for the second elected position on the board."

MontcoDFA will be making one last push as a team at our monthly meeting this week. Meet us at Allyson Schwartz's campaign office to work the phones for Ruth and Joe.

Please attend our Monthly Meeting on Thursday, November 1, 2007 at 7:00 PM. You can RSVP at:

If you would rather talk to voters in person than on the phone, the Damsker-Hoeffel Campaign would love to see your smiling face at any of the locations below on any morning this weekend to help with their final canvassing. On Saturday morning at D-H HQ in Norristown, however, you'll be treated to a video and conference call with the DNC's chair, Governor Howard Dean, and some insight into the DNC's plan for total victory in 2008.
