I mean isn’t it enough that closet cases like David Dreier, Jim McCrery and Mark Foley already make gays look bad without adding Pombo to the list? I’m sure I meant OUST. In fact it’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of Pombo.</p> Please– don’t gays have enough problems to cope with without having someone as unevolved as Pombo to deal with?

We boo the Pombo real estate signs on our way up and down the state. Did you mean “out” or “oust” Pombo? What, yet another member of the Closet Queens of America?</p> Howie, thanks, I left a comment for you on your site. We boo the Pombo real estate signs on our way up and down the state.

Thank you so much– and extra thanks to all the people who stopped by to contribute to Sestak and also kicked down some money for Ned Lamont, Francine Busby, Jan Schneider, Lois and Patrick Murphy, and Jerry McNerney. I’m touched– and I know they’ll be even more thrilled than I am!</p> I was blown away by all the generosity from this community for Joe’s campaign at the Down With Tyranny ACT BLUE Page.

He seems like a pretty good guy and a good fit for this moderate suburban district. Dreier is <i>very</i> vulnerable and I think Russ can win. Here’s the <a href="http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2006/02/my-interview-with-candidate-x-russ.html">story I did on it</a>. The race I’m most excited about in CA is the McNerney campaign to out Richard Pombo and I’ll do a story here about that before the California June primary.</p> Mommybrain, I did met with Russ a few times and did a formal interview with him for a story I wrote on Down With Tyranny.

The progressive in this race is the one who has come unhinged and Russ is the only likely challenger at this point. He has many many progressive friends, though, who might be able to keep him honest.</p> Howie, Russ Warner might not be progressive enough for your boards.

In LA, there’s a CD race that might unseat hypocrite extraordinaire David Drier. Russ Warner, a political neophite, has some momentum. Warner’s primary opponent has come a little unhinged and unless she can get her act together before the primary, he will get the nomination. Can you do a little something about this race?

Only 2 districts and Charlie Bass is no good - a Gingrich class of 94. It may be a small state, but this is a race we could win. We were blue in 2004, and we can’t get Gregg or Sununu this time. Every race counts, not just in the big states.</p> Speaking of Northeast races: we need to be working for Paul Hodes in NH’s second district.
