Just how organized are the CT Dems?

This Saturday, April 29th, is the first of a series of grassroots organizing efforts that the Democratic National Committee has put together. The tactic is a neighbourhood canvass help hand out 750,000 door hangers with a Democratic message, promoting real security, honest and open government, economic prosperity and the usual stuff that makes Americans proud do be Americans. Naturally, I looked to see what CT efforts were posted on the site. Only 6! So kudos to Stratford, Southbury, Westport, Waterbury (although they want to do the 5th CD) New Brittain (Plainville & Bristol), and Groton. Over on the Republican side, nothing going on except attacks on Democrats. I suppose when you've taken the federal government to the to biggest deficit, created the largest entitlement programs and forgot to staff FEMA after creating terror warning color codes, you don't need to spin a positive message about the new republicanism.

Though GOP officials say the party is still guided by the same
conservative principles they championed when they took over Congress,
they have recognized over the subsequent half-dozen campaigns that
enforcing such orthodoxy would prove fatal to its centrist candidates
fighting to hang on in politically competitive states and districts —
a relatively small group, but one that has been essential to the GOP
maintaining its majority by only a dozen or fewer seats.

So why aren't the local town democratic party committees working overtime to push these critical so-called moderate republicans out? Could it be that the anti-war drumbeat is monopolizing too many resources?
