is rockin'!!!!

My hat is off to Judy and her staff - this is very impressive.  

I'm voting for Judy Feder on June 10th

The Democratic congressional primary is fast approaching.  In the 10th Congressional District there is a primary to decide who will face a Republican who has for all intents has been a rubber stamp for President Bush, and for all intents and purposes supported the him at all costs.

Judy Feder is my choice in the 10th for two huge reasons.  Her health care background is stellar and the administration's (and Frank Wolf's) lack of addressing this issue is a very critical failure to me.  Not only is it important to figure out how to insure 48 MILLION Americans with out health care, but it's also important to deal with the outrageous costs associated with health care that are added, for example, to every product produced in the USA.  Judy is the clear choice to deal with this issue.

Then there is the war.  Judy has been right on Bush's misguided policies from the beginning just like our next president Senator Obama.  Speaking out and opposing the war in Iraq was not popular, nor respected three and four years ago, but Judy was there with a firm understanding of what is really needed to protect America.  As a Vietnam veteran I fully support her.

A vote for Judy in the primary will be my initial support for her, prior to her election and taking a well deserved seat in the 111th Congress.

Her reaching $1 million has been without me so far, because I am under a tighter budget, and because I sense a tougher primary battle in the 11th than in the 10th; but Judy has my vote and will be getting my contributions after the 11th is secured for Leslie Byrne.

...has anyone even LOOKED at Mike Turner?

I was at the debate last week in Sterling and the Turner really out-performed her there. I'm just saying, check it out and decide for yourself:

To me, the difference was really clear. Turner gave though-out, nuanced answers, while Feder spoke in platitudes. While I'm sure Feder would be a reliable progressive vote, I don't trust her to actually analyze a problem and come up with a solution. I very much appreciated Turner's ability to get past the sound bite (such as "lobbyists are bad") and get to the actual root of the problem, because you can't solve a problem if you don't know what the problem actually is.

Look, I like Feder. I worked for her 2 years ago. I was at her post-election party 2 years ago. But after watching that debate, I'm convinced that the only thing that Feder has over Turner is money. And while that's big in politics, it was pretty clear 2 years ago that money was not enough to make her electable, because she didn't come close, and I don't see much reason to think things will go differently this time.

So I'm going to vote for Mike Turner on the 10th. And I think that if you really watch the debate with an open mind, you'll come away with the same conclusion.

(By the way, I am NOT in any way associate with Mike Turner's campaign.)

Two more years of failed Wolf and Bush policy.
Two more years of Judy Feder's name getting out there.
Two more years to organize her campaign and line up support.

Huge Democratic groundswell of support this 2008 election, much, much larger than 2006.

Obama coat-tails.
Warner coat-tails.

I have nothing bad to say about Mike Turner other than he is completely unknown, which is half the damned battle.  The 10th district is full of people who just don't vote for someone they've never heard of.  It was an impact two years ago, and it will impact Mike Turner this time.

I do hope he stays involved in politics, and continues to get his name out.  He has some good points and is very smart... but his chances are not very good in either June or November.

Mike, if you are listening, please, please, please stay involved after the primary.  Continue getting your name out there.  Continue working side-by-side with Democrats in the area.
