The invitation to another round of voting for a Progressive Patriot to receive some cash support from Russ Feingold's PAC is in the "In" box. As in each such slate, there are some welcome faces that make a huge amount of sense, and a few surprises.
The roster is below the fold.
The names this time:
Tim Barnwell, TX-26
Phyllis Busansky, FL-09
David Gill, IL-15
Jim Hansen, ID-02
Larry Kissell, NC-08
Chris Murphy, CT-05
Patrick Murphy, PA-08
Ed Perlmutter, CO-07
Joe Sestak, PA-07
Nancy Skinner, MI-09
Carol Voisin, OR-02
Patty Wetterling, MN-06
For myself, neither TX-26 nor OR-02 have been on my radar at all. I'd need a lot of persuasion to take a practical interest in either, this late in the cycle. The others are all on the radar. I can imagine a good argument for each. I predict that the Pennsylvania candidates will cancel one another out in the voting (deadline Aug 23) and that Skinner's friends and supporters will make a determined bid for the $5,000.
I left a little hint in the formatting as to which candidate strikes me as the best, but I'll be listening as folks discuss. One of the best things about these friendly sparring matches is that it gives the mentioned candidates exposure.
