.... I lived down there back when Richard Shelby called himself a Democrat. He voted to confirm Clarence Thomas, even though I called and wrote him not to. He didn't listen to me.
 Well, I was a Yankee lost in the deep south and I didn't know that Shelby really wasn't a Democrat until that moment. You learn fast down there, huh? Well, I live in a horribly gawdy deep red state just like you, so I'm in the same boat. I don't feel like I have any representation at all. Doesn't keep me from marching to the polls every two years, though. You go right on and claim Ashley Judd and Elizabeth Warren and heck, Alan Grayson! It's what I do. Welcome to DU!  |

Will they recognize that she may need significant funding help to be an incumbent? I would be surprised if they give progressive candidates more funding help than Blue Damn Dogs.
I recommend that those that want to see a new Senator from Kentucky, donate directly to her campaign or via the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. http://boldprogressives.org/ |
