I updated this list together around September 18, 2006. I used the following sources:

Election 2006 Projection Page

Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball

U.S. congressional elections in 2006 SourceWatch:

Fighting Dem Vets for Congress

My goal was to identify races where the Democratic candidate has a good chance of winning and where that Democratic candidate has less money than the Republican.

Lamont may not quite fit this criteria, but I believe that he should be supported. Tammy Duckworth may be holding her own with financing, but again she is a very compelling candidate.

I also favored Fighting Dems.

NOTE: I rounded generally rounded fundraising dollars to the nearest million.

I am donating to the following candidates via the Netroots Page:

Darcy Burner

Eric Massa

James Webb

Jay Fawcett

Jon Tester

Joseph Sestak Jr

Linda Stender

Ned Lamont

Patrick Murphy

Bob Casey

PA-Sen (Map)

Rick Santorum (R) inc vs Bob Casey, Jr. (D)

Casey is "pro-life", but he would be a lot better than Santorum. Santorum has lots of money and dirty tricks.
