“Our Senator” (gag) isn’t as popular within her own party as the media pundits allude.

We commence absentee balloting in Maine this week…a boon for Democrats (esp. Tom’s race).

My ballot should arrive Tues. (assuming my city clerk’s office is on the ball).

Rack ‘em up, folks.

Thanks!

Jeff is the most progressive Senate challenger in the nation. If we really want to make a fundamental difference in the Senate, Jeff is our man.

He did it here in Oregon. Our legislature was in a horrible mess with Republican obstructionism and games. Jeff took the reins and brought even moderate Republicans along, passing incredible legislation at the state level.

This is a race where every dollar can make a major difference. The DSCC is definitely all-in here. But Jeff is still being vastly outspent.

We progressives are often very frustrated with the Democrats because they don’t fight and they don’t make the kind of headway we want to see. Jeff will be a Sherrod Brown-style Senator who would make Paul Wellstone proud. Please consider supporting him for Blue America.

I don’t think we’ve lacked for strongmen who played rough, but this last generation of go-along-to-get-along Democrats doesn’t measure up. I don’t think we should seek to emulate Rove or Atwater in any way, but a spine about our core principles would be nice.

That’s why all five of these Senate candidates are just swell. I can’t see any of them compromising on what matters most to Blue America: a responsible end to the occupation, civil equality, and choice.

If you are as excited as I am about this contest, please consider adding this post’s link to your facebook or MySpace or other social networking sites you contribute to.
