This is such a stupid waste of time and money and seriously annoying to the voters in the first district.

Also, please go away Darcy Burner.

You mean Darcy isn't going to be a "team player" when her "team" is actively trying to screw her over in favor of the establishment DINO? Quelle surprise!

Great, this two for one deal allows Darcy to lose yet another congressional race. Kind of like a two for one deal. Agree with @1, she needs to go away. If she couldn't win Reichert's district in 06 or 08, arguably the two beat cycles for dems in 40 years, she isn't going to do it this year or in that district. In a lot of ways, close loss in 10 was more impressive given what a shit year that was for dems.

Boy, really mangled that comment. Take out the double "twofer" reference and insert "DelBene's loss in 10..."

Ms. Kucinich, party of one?

Democracy, bitches!

And if elected, she's unlikely going to be a "team player" when other Democrats cave on Social Security and Medicare.

And how do you know that when she's never served in politics? She may not cave, but she may be as ineffectual in Congress as Jim McDermott.

As much as we don't need DINOs in office from a liberal district, we don't need more Democrats in office who never push through their own legislation.

@8, As long as we don't select progressive Democrats to run for office there won't be enough of them in congress to push through progressive legislation (Doh!).

If sell outs in congress are a major problem, should you select candidates more likely or less likely to sell out?

@9,

I want candidates who can actually get things done. Even if that means pushing through not great, but better-than-the-alternative legislation like Health Care Reform.

But the point is pretty moot anyway, since I regard Darcy Burner as a milquetoast corporate type in the vein of Joe Mallahan, except perhaps slightly more liberal.

@10, It's interesting that your example be Health Care Reform since all progressive Democrats voted for it, which isn't mutually exclusive with having progressive Democrats arguing for putting single payer on the table (in agreement with the majority of the population).

As for Burner being a corporatist in sheep clothes, that would be quite a stunt considering her progression.
