Special Blue America PAC Live Blogging Event Saturday 10am PST/1PM EST with Marcy Winograd

On Saturday we'll have a special live blogging hour with LA's own Marcy Winograd. Blue America has a special announcement at the same time so please join us.

I've been thinking about running against Jane Harman for a long time. I've had reporters quiz me on it and many readers ask me to run, but I've decided not take part in 2010's Congressional election in my home district of CA-36.

There a few reasons why I've taken this path. I think I can do more good for my country and the state of California by concentrating on CrooksandLiars in these troubling times and continue my work for Blue America PAC as the 2010 election comes upon us.

David Neiwert, C&L's Managing Editor and I are putting the finishing touches on our new book we have just about finished titled Over the Cliff, which will require time to promote it, but there is also another important reason which made it so much easier for me to drop out of consideration for the upcoming election: The fact is we have a great progressive candidate already in the race and her name is Marcy Winograd.

She's taking the fight once again to the Blue Dog in our district and I'm putting my full support behind her campaign as she moves forward in 2010. Marcy stands for progressives and since she lives in a progressive district, I'm confident she will fight in ongress for those principles and represent her constituents without compromising as we've seen Jane Harman do so many times before. So please join me in supporting Marcy Winograd for California's 36th District.

Please donate if you can.

And we'll see you tomorrow.

I hope she's successful in her campaign. She sounds like a winner to me.

I'm kinda glad you decided against running, John. We need you here!

About sums it up.

Wile E. Coyote theory. As long as you never look down after running off a cliff chasing the roadrunner, you can keep treading air for a little bit.

You should run. You really should. I haven't researched Marcy yet. But on face value, I'll take your word for it.
But, we all know you. You've already proven your creds to us.
We know where you stand on almost every issue. As a Californian, I can honestly say, we need someone like you. Yes, absolutely, Harman has got to go. I trust you would best represent the people of your district better than anyone else. Again, I'll take your word about Marcy.
But I wish you would reconsider. Is there any chance in the future?

Unfortunately, I won't be able to be here for the q&a. But I will check the comments to see how she feels about any number of things.


What is your conceptual, continuity?

Maybe another time....

So far so good. I wish I could make the q&a. I'd like to speak with her. I like what I've seen so far. Where is she from? I wonder if she's from Torrance or RB ? I grew up there. I know the area very well.
If I had only one question I could ask her.
I think I'd ask her, What she thinks of Jane Harman? Yeah. that would be it.

Right now, the Blue America PAC better start getting concerned about the Massachusetts Senate race to replace Ted Kennedy. The polls are showing the candidates neck and neck, and turnout is going to matter.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/01/15/massac...

“A Suffolk University/7 News poll released Thursday night indicates that 50 percent of likely voters back GOP state Sen. Scott Brown. Forty-six percent support state Attorney General Martha Coakley, the Democratic nominee.
...
Brown's lead of 4 percentage points is barely within the survey's sampling error.”

Kiss goodbye the 60 vote thing in the Senate if Coakley doesn't win.

Which I have...This is a big race...

I assumed the Democrat nominee was a shoo-in. Since the religious folks are going to turn out 100%, it's going to be a scramble to get our side to turn out. Without the victory, the Senate loses its 60 vote "majority", assuming Lieberman.

You absolutely made the right choice. Marcy is a great candidate and what you do at C&L is way important.

Are you tired of the so-called Blue Dogs and DINO's and RINO's ? Then vote them out ! ! ! Here's your chance ! Vote out these Republicans in Democrat's clothing. In California and throughout the rest of the country. That means people like Max Baucus, Mary Landreau, Ben Nelson, Bill Nelson, Joe Lieberman (I), and all the rest of the whores to the Republican Party.
