Actually . . it does. If these early replacement (mid term) elections go Democrat that is a signal the region supports Obama's politics. If the opposite occurs, say . . . a Repub is elected . . that is an good slap in the face for Obama style politics.
This special election has become a referendum on Obama and his economic policies.
Nancy Pelosi and Obambi are sending in their helpers and former Pres Clinton is campainging to bolster the Dem candidate Scott Murphy. The Repubs are sending in Michael Steele, Rudy Giuliani, and House Minority Leader John Boehner.
Problem is, this district shouldn’t have sent a Democrat before, it’s a Republican one (it only went rodent in ‘06 because the incumbent Republican was damaged and the ‘08 candidate was a RINO flake). Winning actual Democrat districts in specials, such as the upcoming vacancy of the Tauscher seat in CA will be the real challenge and signal of areas being upset with the amateur-hour destructiveness of the False Messiah.
“Nancy Pelosi and Obambi are sending in their helpers and former Pres Clinton is campainging to bolster the Dem candidate Scott Murphy. The Repubs are sending in Michael Steele, Rudy Giuliani, and House Minority Leader John Boehner.”
Wow!
Scott Murphy is making a big deal about Tedisco not supporting the economic stimulus plan, which is another reason to support Tedisco. I heard the majority of voters in the 20th district like the stimulus plan, so maybe they’re not as conservative as they used to be. People come and go.
Anyway, it might be good to write a letter to the editor about the negativity of the pseudo economic stimulus plan, if you live in the 20th district.
Here’s some ammunition:
“includes $30 million for wetlands restoration that the Obama administration intends to spend in the San Francisco Bay Area to protect, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi represents the city of San Francisco and has previously championed preserving the mouse’s habitat in the Bay Area.”
