Kurita keeps up the fight!

Jackson Baker profiles state Senator Rosalind Kurita (D-Clarksville) in her quest to become the next US Senator from the Volunteer State.

Here's an excerpt:

Kurita acknowledges that on the war issue she's to the left of Ford, who voted for the war in 2002 and, though critical of President Bush's management of the war, has never disavowed his original support. Kurita has a concrete proposal: Take our ground troops out of the cities, where they are "magnets" to the growing insurgency, and maintain air support for the struggling new Iraqi government. It's a strategy that's arguably a prelude to orderly withdrawal.

Kurita's increasing forthrightness on the war and on Iraq itself ("Let's face it. Iraq ought to be three countries, not one," she has said on other recent occasions) is one of the factors that make her at least a theoretical alternative to the nationally ballyhooed Ford.

Larry, it's rare when we have a candidate that the NRA can't lay a glove on, and this makes her VERY electable in my opinion.

the GOP won't know what to do with her..
