After Flooding The District With Cash, Barrow Wins The Primary In GA-12
regina thomas didn’t win her long-crack race against congress’ most bush-supporting democrat. nor was it shut off. as i write this, the georgia secretary of state’s site shows regina with 24% and barrow with 76%– positively what blue america’s pollster predicted last month. (i’m awed– even shocked– by the accuracy of the poll.) so if we knew regina has as good as no chance to win, why did we induce so hard for her? someone has to question up for reformer values and principles– especially against a craven and corrupt jackass like barrow. and regina was willing to. how could we not help her?perhaps she’ll be better known in 2010 if barrow continues voting akin to a republican. maybe even obama will realize the mistake he made by endorsing someone who will be opposing so much of what he tries to accomplish. and, believe me, numberless people want be reminding obama of his okay every time barrow votes against in unison of his bills. one thing i know object of unfaltering, we managed to scare out of one’s wits the bejeus finished of the doll-sized twerp. according to the fec, as of march 31 he had send forth $303,492 on the primary. once blue america and democrats.com made some altogether modest expenditures on behalf of regina’s campaign and raised her a little spondulicks, barrow exhausted another $500,000. according to tonight’s examiner, the panic-stricken “barrow eject more than $858,000 on the primary”– and that was with an seal from obama!in 2006 snotty and reactionary california titillating dog jane harman was dragged into a tough primary enthusiasm. she won by a wide margin but the fight itself made her a much more loyal democrat. her lifetime progressivepunch score is a dismal 79.66. her music since dynamic activist marcy winograd held her down to under 65% of the primordial elector is a much more working family-friendly 93.65. i don’t expect such a dramatic turnaround from barrow, but Possibly man phobia for sure, if he keeps voting like a republican he’ll probably be able to bank on another primary fight in 2010.update: tidings from reginaat the exact same trice i was putting up this fill someone in on, regina sent me the approachable of gracious and loving e-mail that has made me feel like she is family. she worked very bankrupt on this campaign and i hope she will be superiority treated next time. let me share some of her e-dispatch:hello my friend. we didn’t pull it entirely. that’s ok, he knows that i make be watching him. two years is not fancy. let’s talk about actblue. when the next check comes i dearth to donate it to democrats in other states who need the money. i look to you and blue america to labourers me interpret that not at home. i do not possess a campaign deficit (thanks to indelicate america and the others). post-haste i transmit slyly the allowance that i borrowed to qualify ($3,050.00) i will send the rest to progressive candidates who we count on out can use some help.i am fine. the lord’s will was done and i am ok with that. i have so enjoyed our talks and getting to separate you. i will miss that. but…anything can happen in two years.for rarely.. i command take protect of some personal things– get my board in order, complete my senate term and enjoy my grandchildren.i just got off the phone speaking with her. she said she was glad to have given the voters a choice and to have run an issue-oriented campaign. “even if i knew the upshot, i would do the same thing. tomorrow i’m going to move ahead in my truck and steer around picking up my signs. i haven’t had a vacation in 14 years and my husband just told me he’s glad to get his helpmeet perfidiously.”my moving spirit is richer for having gotten to know regina thomas. i consider myself very lucky for the duration of the moment.
