DINO Lunsford Joins KY Dem Senate Primary

The incompetence of the Kentucky Democratic Party never ceases to amaze me. And the DSCC and Chuck Schumer (D-KY) are just as bad. They've decided to back millionaire Bruce Lunsford (D-KY), a real DINO (Democrat in Name Only) instead of Andrew Horne in the battle to Ditch Mitch McConnell! Idiots! This is the strategy that kept us with DINO Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) who is campaigning for John "I Love War" McCain in Florida, when we could have had progressive Ned Lamont in the Senate for us right now! The DSCC also, as Bluegrass Roots notes, backed established DINOs in place of Jon Tester and Jim Webb. The GOP would have retained Montana and Virginia in '06 (and, thus, control of the Senate) had not Montana and Virginia grassroots Dems worked overboard to give us Tester and Webb as frosh Senators.

Now, it's KY's turn. Ignore the KDP and DSCC folks. Even if Lunsford could beat McConnell, he wouldn't be much better. Let's work our collective butts off for Andrew Horne and both Ditch Mitch and get a real, progressive populist Democrat in the Senate for KY! Show Horne some monetary love, today! (As soon as we win the White House and a 60 vote majority in the Senate this November, there's some housecleaning to do. We need to replace Chuck Schumer (D-NY) with a DSCC head who doesn't fear grassroots campaigns and replace Reid (D-NV) with Chris Dodd (D-NY) as Majority Leader so we get someone with backbone as Leader.)

We need progressive populists, not party machine hacks. We need Andrew Horne for U.S. Senate!
