  <blurb>With a last minute wave crashing over the Republicans, Blogpac has chosen these races as the most effective places to put money, and we will match your donations up to the first $2000 for each candidate.  We&amp;#39;ve chosen Darcy Burner in WA-08, Senate candidate Jim Martin in Georgia (through an outside group VoteVets), Annette Taddeo in FL-018, and Alice Kryzan in NY-26.

Every dollar will go to help good progressive candidates in very tight races.  Your donations are going to help progressives who need the money to take their seats in Congress, and Blogpac will double the amount you&amp;#39;ve given.  Make it count.</blurb>

      <pageblurb>Taddeo is a progressive taking on corrupt Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in Dade County.  Her opponent is part of the bipartisan political machine keeping the Cuba embargo in place.  She&amp;apos;s within single digits with a name ID of 65%.  With some more resources she can take the seat.</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>Kryzan is an endorser of a Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq.  She surprisingly slipped through the primary in NY-26, one of the last districts in New York represented by a Republican.  She&amp;apos;s going to be a great progressive for years to come, this one is tight.</pageblurb>
