I grew up in the northern midwest, where babies are born holding hockey sticks. I hate professional sports personally (too much money in it) but sometimes, there is nothing like a sports metaphor to make a point.
Imagine it is the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Red Wings and the Avalanche are neck-and-neck. The Wings are the traditional favorite, but the Avalanche has had a good year and some new players with lots of talent. The winner of this particular game (here’s where my lack of sports knowledge may get me in trouble) will go on to play the Canadians.
After the sixth game, the Wings are 3 and the Avalanche are 3. The Wings suddenly announce they do not believe in hard hockey sticks because someone might get hurt, so if they win the playoffs, they will use cardboard gift wrap tubes instead. Sports fans respond in outrage, “Are you friggin’ crazy? If you want to switch to a cardboard tube league, great, let’s do it after the season is over!”
End of story.

That’s the worst mudslinging I’ve seen in this entire campaign.
but are not my favorite team right now.
I was thinking something similar.
What if…
a guy came to Colorado from back east, had some success and earned some big money working for a Colorado millionaire, but then also was widely disparaged for some perceived to be less than shining years, then was chosen to go to Washington in a high profile job with control on a big budget?
Would the locals hate Shanahan more for leaving or for turning the Redskins around?
My cousin is in Missouri volunteering for Carnahan, and they are loving themselves some DSCC attention and resources. I am hopeful we can get them to Colorado soon.
Who are they?

Is CV2010 the DSCC in Colorado this cycle?
Is it the extension of Plouffe’s offce in the DNC?
Who/what is it and who and how does it help?
It’s a way for them to start raising money for the general without having to (officially) break the party rules about neutrality.
It’s not an extension of the WH/DNC or anything else.
It will help whoever ends up being the nominee in the fall. This should explain it:
So, as you can see, the primary isn’t stopping the DSCC from getting involved. However, if the primary wasn’t going on, they would be getting wayyyy more involved than they are able to with CV2010, so your point is still half-right.
I still don’t get it.
But if I’m reading that right, the DSCC can fundraise through CV2010, as can the CDP. But that’s not the same as saying the DSCC can come to town and start helping.
