Go to CSPAN Now!!! Dem Veteran Candidates...
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 03:29 PM by speedoo
It's a VETPAC press conference on the Mall in DC.

VETPAC Exec. Director says "these people have courage,,, they know they will come under fire again.. that's the way the opposition operates."

Jack Reed speaking now.

edit: it's from yesterday.

1. I hope the swiftboaters crank it up this summer
and fuck with a bunch of dem candidates just off the battlefield in Iraq. Please Young Republicans give it your best shot.

5. Yay!
Will this be on the CSPAN site later? My congressional canidate is supposed to be there. So far nobody is running against him in the democratic party. Usually it's this other guy but I guess he's taking a break or something.
