Message from a 4th District Liberal Blogger

Well, I guess its official. I am a liberal blogger. At least I support Donna Edwards for election to Congress from the Fourth Congressional District in Maryland, and I am unhappy that her opponent has received the endorsement of a prominent Democratic Congresswoman from California. I think it is time for a new class of Congressmen to sweep out incumbents and start a reform process, as well as to bring better order to U.S. domestic and foreign policy.

Read the article in the Washington Post that said

But for liberal bloggers across the country who have embraced his (Al Wynn, the incumbants) leading opponent in the Feb. 12 Democratic primary, Fort Washington lawyer Donna F. Edwards, it (the endorsement) had exactly the opposite effect.

"It reinforced what we like to call the incumbent protection racket," said Jane Hamsher, who runs the site Firedoglake.com.

I don't need a California politician who is really busy with a million other things telling me who is best qualified to represent my Congressional District!

It is nice to hear that my candidate, Donna Edwards, raised $100,000 dollars in a few days from lots of small donors! In 2006 she came close to getting the nomination, and I hope she will get it in February.
