It's great to see the gang at the Barry Welsh campaign updating their 2006 congressional races page:

In particular welcome back "Rex".
I wrote these diaries:

to keep the ball rolling to get 434/435 districts filled (again damn you TX 11).
However the gang over at Barry Welsh have not listed all of the candidates I have as is their perogative so below the fold let me run through why they should be counted. Oh yeah and a newby enters the fray too.
1)I think these candidate satisfy the burden of proof.

Add to that these links:
http://www.delawarestonewall.com/ (scroll down a bit)
http://kyw.com/... (ditto)
and his under construction web site:
www.spivackforcongress.org/
and I reckon he's to be included!

Patrick Pillion

including a parked website:

The blogosphere seem convinced and whilst I admit the lack of any media mentions or DCCC or actblue mentions is not great but methinks he is in.

Deborah Watts
A recent candidate declaration but with her own website up and running she is in.

When the candidate says hi i'm running that's good enough for me.
2)These ones require some faith but should be included anyway IMHO.

The DCCC like him (is this an 04 link?)

3) And of course no candidate list would be complete without a newby.

An odd address for a candidate but a legit one nonetheless.
