Iraq War Veteran Says He'll Challenge Anne Northup Next Year

:woohoo:

I was afraid that no one was going to challenge Northup

I don't know anything at all about him, except for the fact that if it comes down to him and Northup, he'd be my choice... and does anybody know anything about the other potential candidates? I know nothing about them either.

At least I will have someone to vote for now.

I've been hearing a bit the past week or so (on blogs and even once on WHAS11) that Yarmuth may be entering in to the race. I think most Louisville people on this board knows pretty much where he stands on the major political issues, so I think I can safely say that if he runs, I'd support him 100%... he is exactly the kind of person that I've wanted to see in an elected position ever since I began to even care about politics, and if he decides to run, will probably be the first politician that I could vote for without any reservations at ALL.

I wonder what he'll decide... I'm personally hoping that he decides to get in to the race. Since the filing deadline is rapidly approaching, we should know very soon...

on that show.

miss John Ziegler. He was such a complete and total asshole and very entertaining.

6. KEN HERNDON SUPPORTS A PRIMARY AND YARMUTH IN THE
3rd CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT (by Ken Herndon)

Call me a cult of one, but I believe that a spirited
Democratic Primary will, with the exception of the
money spent, help us in the fall. Mr. Yarmuth and Mr.
Horne are not far enough apart on the issues to create
a brutal, detrimental primary race. On the contrary,
an energetic airing out of Democratic values, all
aimed at Ann Northup will enable the eventual winner
to fine tune a campaign message before having to take
on Ann directly. And, since both candidates are
first-timers, they will get
experience and a win under their belt before heading
to the fall.

We will never be able to match the fundraising prowess
of Northup but we don't have to. She needs to
outspend her opponents to buy the race...it's what
she’s done for 10 years. Once the primary is over, we
need to dig a bit deeper and come together immediately
to take her out.

Ann is not an innocent bystander in the Washington
debacle as she likes us to think she is. She is
number 5 on the Tom Delay PAC money list. She
was one of the first in Congress to support George
Bush and has been his hand maiden ever since. She put
herself in the center ring of the circus she
helped create.

Our nominee's job will be to never let people forget
her fundamental dishonesty while articulating a way
out of the storm. Ours will be to do
whatever we can to help.

I'll be for John Yarmuth in the Primary, and I
will support the Democratic nominee with enthusiasm in
the fall.

Ron Weston and Perry Clark are about to begin what is
going to be a great year for Democrats at all levels
in 2006. We need to be ready to take advantage of the
larger forces that are moving in our direction.
