STEVE YOUNG FOR CONGRESS UPDATE-- TOM TANCREDO HELPS WHERE RAHM EMANUEL GETS READY TO DO WHAT HE DOES BEST: NOTHING AT ALL

>

Recently I spent some time with a roomful of well-connected Democrats. We pretty much see eye-to-eye on most stuff-- although hardly any of them would agree with me that Inside-the-Beltway Democrats are as useless and harmful to America as Republicans. And when something pops up that we DON'T agree on, I KNOW they're getting their bad ideas from those Inside-the-Beltway connections. The pathetic DCCC seems to have already written off Chris Cox's old Orange County seat, even though a Special Election could well see a progressive Democrat triumph. If the DCCC would pull it's head out of its ass long enough to take a look at the rules of this election they'd realize why their counterparts at the GOP are freaking out. In fact, the only thing calming Republicans down about the race is how lame the DCCC is! Take a look in the Archives at the story I wrote on September 15-- "CAN A DEMOCRAT WIN IN ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S REDDEST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS?" The answer was yes and it's the story of how Steve Young is going to become a Congressman from Orange County. The DCCC should be out in full force for this. But they're even more pathetic and into proving what complete losers they are for this one than they were in Ohio's 2nd district where Paul Hackett's grassroots campaign surprised them as much as it did Republicans!

In fact, Steve Young, is getting great news about his race-- not from the professional losers at the DCCC, but from a most unlikely source. One of the Republicans' craziest and most extreme elected officials-- and, believe me, with that lot that is saying A GREAT DEAL-- could have just made Young's job of getting elected (without DCCC help) quite a bit easier. (Fortunately Young has plenty of money, being personally wealthy, and plenty of expertise, having virtually Hackett's whole team working for him.) Anyway, Congressloon Tom Tancredo (R-CO), a 2008 presidential aspirant from the Party of Hatred and Bigotry and a leading congressional advocate of imposing a radical crackdown on immigration, broke with the GOP and formally endorsed his pal, the American Independent Party nominee Jim Gilchrist. There are 10 Republican candidates in the race but Gilchrist is the founder of the Minuteman Project (citizen border patrols/vigilantes). "I need Jim Gilchrist with me in Congress. Together Jim and I can fight to stop illegal immigration," said Tancredo. Tancredo has pretty much guaranteed a 3-way run-off in the GOP district that will pit Young against a right wing Republican and this KKK imbecile, who will cannibalize each other's bases. Go, Tom, go!


FRIDAY UPDATE:

If Orange County neo-fascists and xenophobes were still unconvinced that Gilchrist is an even better bet than the corporate GOP has to offer, another off-the-edge Republican extremist has weighed in. The always whacky wing-nut Alan Keyes, currently collecting unemployment but still hopeful that someone will find him something someday somewhere, somehow managed to get himself to California and is about to endorse Gilchrist in Tuesday's primary.

Young is PDA's First Endorsed Candidate Leading to Mid-Term Elections

(IRVINE -- Sept. 27, 2005) -- Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) has endorsed Steve Young in the special election for the U.S. House of Representatives seat in California's 48th District. Young was endorsed this weekend by the national grassroots organization as well as by the 69th and 70th Assembly Districts of California.

"Progressive Democrats of America is thrilled to announce we have officially endorsed a real progressive candidate, Steve Young, in his race for California's 48th Congressional district," said Tim Carpenter, executive director of Progressive Democrats of America. "This endorsement, the first of more to come from PDA as the 2006 campaign season gets closer, was affirmed at the grassroots strategy session that took place this past Sunday, Sept. 25th in Washington, D.C."

PDA joins a long list of supporters who have already endorsed Young, including the California Democratic Party, the Orange County chapter of Democracy for America, and the Teachers for Excellence, among many others.

"I am proud to have the support of PDA as we look towards the primary election and beyond," said Young. "We have the opportunity to return Washington's focus to America's middle class with the 2006 midterm elections and it starts here in Orange County."

Young is running in a special election on October 4th to fill the seat vacated by Former Rep. Christopher Cox. A run-off will be held on December 15th should no candidate from the field win a majority of the vote.
