Does anybody know ONE SITE where we can find who the REAL progressive candidates are for the primaries next year? This is going to be vital going into the new year! Filing deadlines are coming up and we need to know who the up and coming Sherrod Browns and Dennis Kucinichs and such are. We don't need to be afraid to run liberals and progressives.
I'm a friend of Robert Watson, a former candidate for Congress in Florida's 22nd District against Clay Shaw. He ended his campaign after not being able to raise enough money and refusing to "get it from all the wrong people". His strategy was right and he ran a good campaign while it lasted.
His campaign was based on leveling with people and telling them exactly what was going on in this country. State Senator Rod Smith, who is running for governor, is doing exactly the same thing and he was elected to the State Senate in a district where 8 of the 9 counties voted for Bush... in 2000.
It's time for our party to get real and run progressives. It's time for our party to stop being afraid of primaries and let the PEOPLE decide, not the consultants. It's time for the GRASSROOTS to take back our party. Thank god for sites like these!
