Brian Baird Needs a Primary Challenger -- NOW.

I really started to dislike this guy back in 2007 when he suddenly announced his support for the Iraq War. I always viewed it as nothing more than a publicity stunt, whereby he enjoyed being a novelty (i.e., a Democrat in support of the effort not named "Lieberman").

His vote against health care reform, however, is indefensible. Isn't there anyone out there contemplating a primary run?

1. His district is disproprortionately repub.

I think he would have voted for the bill if Pelosi had needed it.

2. He seems like he's leaving that open as an option for final passage.

Isn't his district just about 50/50?

3. By Washington standards, he has a wierd district.

He has the most liberal city (Olympia) as well as the site of the Centralia massacre; where the legionnaires who attacked the wobblies are today immortalized in bronze. It may be 50:50 but the bad half is batshit crazy.
