Poll question: Are You In A Red Or Blue Congressional District - And Who Are You Supporting?
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 07:30 PM by Magic Rat
Is your congressional representative a Republican or a Democrat? And how do you think your choice for president will impact your congressional race in your district, should your choice become the nominee?

2. I'm a Kucinich supporter in a red district
and I'd say that most of my Democratic friends are as well. Interestingly enough, my conservative friends are big on Ron Paul.

11. why do you say that?
if it's a blue district, why would it go to the GOP?

14. In 2004 we elected a Democrat for the first time in decades, Bush got 58% of the vote as well.
Melissa Bean (IL-8) is a very moderate Democrat and is fairly representative of the district.

If I had to put money on it however, I would say that the GOP candidate will still carry the district.

13. Kucinich supporter in a schizophrenic district with a DLC warmonger Rep
And unfortunately I helped get the bastard elected. :evilfrown:

Though Brian Baird initially voted against the Iraq War, he has since fully immersed himself in the AIPAC KoolAid

.....From a strategic perspective, if we leave now, Iraq is likely to break into even worse sectarian conflict. The extremist regime in Iran will expand its influence in Iraq and elsewhere in the region. Terrorist organizations, the people who cut off the heads of civilians, stone women to death, and preach hatred and intolerance, will be emboldened by our departure.

Can't believe I campaigned for that bastard :grr:
