Nobody is suggesting that Steve Buyer should start packing up his office just yet, but the Swingstate Project is keeping an eye on Nels Ackerson’s challenge to the incumbent Republican.
Finally, if there is one grassroots candidate which may come across the finish line on election night, then Nels Ackerson (IN) may be the one. He is challenging Buyer and has raised individual contributions equal to Buyer’s PAC money. He’s outraised Buyer strongly in individual donations. Purdue University is located in the district and should have a strong turnout for Obama. The DCCC may be making a worthy investment if it did spend in Lafayette and send out mailings on Ackerson’s behalf.
So, if you’re in the Fourth District and are so inclined, the Ackerson Campaign might find your donations and/or time to be of some use. And who knows? You might represent the tipping point of a historic upset.
