Baby Boomers remember this guy!! He an old school liberal Republican!

I don't know if this goes against DU rules but if you have friends in that CD and they don't want to vote Demo then try to get them to vote for McCloskey.

2. Yep!.....He's pissed...
I heard him interviewed last week on KQKE, 960 AM, Air America San Francisco affiliate.

He was trashing the repuke crooks pretty good.

3. I sure do remember him.

He stood (while a senator) with Kerry in the Anti Viet Nam war demonstration.

I believe he has spent the last many years working for environmental causes in Northern California.

6. As someone who remembers him well - I am wondering why
he doesn't join the Democratic Party instead of wasting his time in the repugs crime center.
