19. she's basically the only Dem running

There was another viable candidate, but he dropped out and endorsed her yesterday, saying he did not want to dilute Dem resources in a primary fight and she had the better chance. There is still a guy in the race who has run every time for the last 20 years or so, and has never gotten over 25% of the vote.
The pitiful thing is my Congressman is Joe "you lie" Wilson, and he didn't even have an opponent this year. I send him a letter at least once a month, pointing out that what Obama "lied" about (that his health care plan would cover undocumented aliens) has never happened and is specifically banned by the law. I'm sure his staff throws them away unopened now. I don't even get the usual "thank you so much for the input" bullshit response anymore.

Is she running as a Dem or Repub? Cleita Feb 2013 #4

She's a Dem. Too many of these seats are being being abandoned by Democratic party. blm Feb 2013 #6

We have the same situation here. Congressman Kevin McCarthy has run Cleita Feb 2013 #8
