From Red to Blue; Is the DCCC putting their toes into water that they shouldn’t?
Friends, there has been a lot of Jon Powers news on the looney liberal blogs as of late. It almost appears as if one of them is being run by the folks in Power’s campaign, but that is just my hunch. Since they don’t allow me to question them without giving my social security number and mother’s maiden name, I figured I’d ask here.
Two sites have discussed that the Powers campaign has received the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Red to Blue distinction. This is a distinction that goes to Democratic challengers of Republican held seats in Congress. Other Red to Blue candidates have been Eric Massa and Dan Maffei (I don’t know after their losses two years ago if they’ll be given the distinction again).
My question is did Jack Davis and Alice Kryzan and Kathy Konst (although I now hear shes going to challenge Senator Dale Volker for his seat) get this distinction? How can the DCCC, and the DNC for that matter, come out and endorse a candidate by placing them in an elite party fundraising program when the primary hasn’t taken place? The Democratic voters in the 26th haven’t had an opportunity to vote for any of these candidates. So far it has merely been liberal party bosses in a couple counties. When other members of a party are still trying to gain the nomination, it is irresponsible for the national party to favor one person over the others. Maybe it because half the field for the nomination is women and god forbid that Western New York members of the Democratic Party support a female candidate.
The Democrat Party claims that they represent the people, but this latest move seems to indicate that they want to prevent the voters from having a say of who the candidate will be. For once maybe the Democratic/Liberal/Progressive/Socialists should embrace this thing called Democracy and allow people registered with their party to embrace this crazy thing the Athenians came up with.

Powers is the endorsed candidate. Kryzan can’t raise enough money to buy a pot to piss in, Konst only got in for either a - name recognition or b - the republicans told her too, and Davis LOST TWICE!!!!!!
The Dem’s see the writting on the wall because Powers is a fresh face who is honest and what we really need in Washington.
