This may be recipe for the reinvigoration, the reestablishment of the role of labor in online progressive politics. We give our ideas for change home in the written word. When I look at the impact writing around the blogosphere has had over the last couple of weeks on political campaigns (Lamont), policy issues (net neutrality), and grassroots organizing (the Roots Project) I see the statements of dissent coming to fruition.

The Gated Community offers up another ‘candidate’.<br /> And, meanwhile, here in WA, a true progressive from the ranks of the non privileged is attempting to unseat traitor Maria Cantwell in our states Democratic primary. Mark Wilson has the spiel that we all want to hear and is not a wealthy insider. But without publicity and funding he won’t beat Miss Alito Gated Community and her white wealthy war chest. How come so much from “progressives” for Lamont and so little for candidates that are not “financially endowed”? Little bit of a discrepancy here? This is, after all, Maria Cantwell, traitor to every woman on this planet, pro Iraq war and proud of <a href="mailto:it@!!">it@!!</a></p> I appreciate the effort and necessity to unseat Liebermann.

I feel like this primary actually became more competative. Can you imagine the fall out if Ned actually did beat Joe in the democratic primary what kind of signal that would send to the entire party??? Every Democrat would realize no matter what state, be it New York, California or South Dakota, you’re not in a safe seat. This would force all those with presidential ambitions who try to have it both ways to focus on their state.</p> I have to admit, I thought it would have to come down to the signature drive but this is AMAZING.

One third of the votes against Liebo’s machine, by a political unknown, says something. Wait til we see how the actual grassroots–not the party insiders–vote in the primary. I can imagine Joe, after he loses, going crawling on his knees to Bush and saying, c’mon, about that secretary of defense positon, you promised me…and Bush saying, “I don’t know you, loserman.”</p> Joementum can spin it any way he wants, he was a loser tonight, and Lamont became a giant.

That someone was born with money and developed with a conscience? I think you should try to shove the chip off your shoulder and dig in to what really matters. Joe boy has been mighty priviledged as far as I can tell and has been a pretender to the throne he has been occupying for far too long, imho. My parents struggled mightily and I don’t judge people that way at all; only the asswipe pretenders!</p> <p>PS– I worked all my life in a service profession and made my own way with a great education that I earned and feel no ill will toward the rich and powerful other than against those who use their power to murder and conquer.</p> lemond54–
