The 9th District field gets bigger, but I see no winners yet

OK. I've heard of Ron Redwing, kind of. I met Ed Stanton (Jr? III?) in my precinct caucus earlier this year, and I saw Nikki Tinker at the Ford post-convention breakfast (oops, the PARTY breakfast, I get confused sometimes).

So, who the hell is THIS GUY? Lee Harris, a UM law professor, has announced his candidacy to succeed Harold Junior in Congress. According to the article, he's anti-choice, pro-voucher, pro-charter school. THAT should help him in the Democratic primary, shouldn't it?

Stanton seems ok, and I've never met Redwing that I remember, so they might be OK. Tinker is sweet and gorgeous, but she's a corporate lawyer. Harris is anti-choice, so we're still looking for a winner here. Jim Maynard, you ran as a write-in two years ago and got nowhere. You could get in this primary and maybe even win it.


'Nuff said.

Anti choice, pro-voucher, pro-charter school? This is the 9th congressional district not Lincoln Davis district. Are republicans so embarrassed by their own party, they are now trying to ran as democrats? To ashamed republicans, please stay in your own party or start a new one. Don't try to sell your crazy here. Does this guy think it's 2002?

OK, whom would you like to see enter the race?

Oh, I don't have a local focus on my blog (yet), but check it out and vote in the TV newsbabe contest, and I'll RSS ya.

Any thoughts on Tyson Pratcher yet?

David, I really don't know enough about him at this point.

The fact that he's leading a charge for HRC is NOT a point in his favor, though...
