Is your basketball bracket looking grim? Has your go-all-the way choice already been eliminated and you’re completely out of the running? Here’s one you can win.

Starting Wednesday, March 21, JK / John Kerry kicked off his own March Madness. His target audience is not hoops fans but political donors who may want to help Democratic candidates boost their first-quarter fundraising totals.

It’s time to fill out your first bracket of 2007 to decide which great Democrats the johnkerry.com community will rally behind this spring.

Go select 2 Senators and 2 Representatives that you want to win. Voting extends through midnight ET, Sunday, March 25th.

Interested in spreading the word on behalf of your favorite candidate in the contest? Check below for the details on how. <!-more-> – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –

Feel free to borrow the intro text above or use it to get you started on your own intro.

Go ahead and email all your friends and encourage them to vote too.

Oh one more thing I noticed when I was hanging out on the voting page. If you hold your cursor over the picture of each candidate, a little bio on each one will show up which helps if you don’t recognize all the names.

Hope your favorites win!
