Draft McEachin!

Great work by JC over at Richmond Democrat. JC's gone ahead and set up a Draft McEachin! site with the goal of encouraging Del. McEachin to "agree to challenge Lambert in a Democratic primary." Lambert, of course, is State Senator Benny Lambert, the Allen-endorsing turncoat who claims he's a Democrat. Well, sorry, but if you endorse a right-wing Republican and campaign intensively for him against the Democratic nominee (not to mention an American hero like Jim Webb), you aren't a Democrat. No way, no how. In contrast, Donald McEachin is a great Democrat who strongly supported Jim Webb and who richly deserves to take Lambert's State Senate seat. So, head on over to Draft McEachin, leave a message of support, and put a Draft McEachin badge on your site. Thanks again to JC for doing this!

I Met Don McEachin at Jim Webb's Pre-Swearing In Party (Catzmaw - 1/15/2007 10:04:10 PM)
and was totally impressed with him. He's a loyal and energetic supporter of Jim Webb, which alone would make him okay, but I also get the sense that he's not about the same old same old. He wants to work for change and has the energy to do it. Wish I could vote for him, but all I can do is promote his candidacy.
Does he need to be drafted? (vadem - 1/15/2007 10:15:00 PM)
Thought it was almost a foregone conclusion that he was going to run against Benny. If we continue to over-do these drafts, won't they become meaningless? We can show support in many ways besides promoting a draft-especially if he's already planning to do it and just hasn't made it official.
McEachin is first class. He's upstanding and humble and a real loyal man. I don't live in his voting district either, but will do what I can to support this effort.
Go Donald Go! (DukieDem - 1/15/2007 11:26:03 PM)
Delegate McEachin is first class all the way. His election should be one of the top priorities of the netroots (if not the top).
It's up there, along with... (Lowell - 1/16/2007 1:02:30 PM)
Chap, Janet, and whoever the nominee is against Jay O'Brien. Also, there are several right-wing delegates we need to take out, starting with "Sideshow Bob" Marshall.
