The P-I and others
report that Southwest Washington's DINO Congressman will be packing it in at the end of his term.
Known for supporting Bush's Iraq adventure and, most recently opposing healthcare reform Baird's departure should provide a welcome reprieve for a state party that is struggling to find its its message and its soul.
Now that the imaginary "Tea Party" is oupolling the Republicans among all voters and even outpolling Democrats among Independents, Nuts and Morons, there is a real chance for Progressives...
...to get a real Progressive candidate running in Washington's 3rd district. The time is now to take advantage of a Republican party split between the
Eggheads and the
Abyss.
Will we do it?
Who will run?
Will the top-two system screw everything up as, indeed, it was designed to do?
Why do I keep asking questions here rather than in the poll?
