Emily's List in NH

In today's edition of the Nashua Telegraph there is an article entitled "Emily's List targeting new voters in NH."

I must admit I had never heard of the group before the article but was intrigued.

Apparently Emily's List is a liberal special-interest group supporting abortion rights and they have begun an aggressive project in New Hampshire that could help Democrat Jeanne Shaheen defeat Republican John Sununu in the U.S Senate race here.

The group practices micro-targeting; researching potential Democratic voters who could vote for Shaheen and send them pro-Shaheen mail and poll the targeted voters and those who weren't.

According to the article the group will have sent more than 700,000 pieces of mail by Election Day. Whether this group and their efforts have an impact on the Election or not may never be known, but Sheehan's chances of winning the seat grow daily, just as the Democratic presidential nominee Obama's popularity in the state.
