The
DCCC has added
Mike Callaghan, the Democratic candidate in WV-02, to the "emerging race" list, which should mean more campaign funds and national exposure to this race.
I've written once or twice about Mike Callaghan and Shelley Moore Capito.
Many of you have already contributed. Thank you.
Many others are still holding back, maybe because this race is too much of a long shot to win.
Let me tell you some reasons why you should support Mike Callaghan.
1. If Shelley Moore Capito wins, she might celebrate by throwing this kitten into a pool of water filled with sharks with frigging lasers attached to their fins. Now I do not know this for certain, but as Republican Rep. Patrick Henry would say, I have NO evidence that it is not true so here it is. So it is speculation on my part. But as WSJ columnist Peggy Noonan would say, it would be wrong not to speculate.
2. Mike Callaghan loves animals.
3. Shelley Moore Capito has taken money from Tom Delay and Bob Ney. I bet her father has contributed to her campaign too. She's voted more than 80 percent of the time with George W. Bush. Do we need a representative with this many ties to law breakers and suspected law breakers?
4. Mike Callaghan, as a federal prosecutor for nearly a decade, put law breakers in prison.
5. Big oil companies gave Shelley Moore Capito money they took personally from me and many of my friends. The bastards.
6. Mike Callaghan was secretary of the environment trying to make the air and land cleaner.
7. Shelley Moore Capito claims to support the troops. The association representing Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans listed her as C+. That grade might be good enough to become a Republican nominee for president, but it ain't good enough to honor those that served their nation.
8. Mike Callaghan wants to bring the troops home as soon as possible.
9. Shelley Moore Capito is a Republican, although she's trying to keep that a secret by not listing her party on her signs or her campaign web site. She's also trying to keep her position on issues secret by not listing them on her web site. Of course when you were one of the first touting President Bush's privateer plan for Social Security, you'd want to keep your stance secret.
10. Mike Callaghan is proud of being a Democrat. And he wants to protect Social Security from those attempting to loot the treasury.
