“Darcy Burner is exactly the kind of candidate in the past that the DCCC would have let die,” said Rep. Ellen Tausher, D-Calif., a leader of the moderate New Democrat Coalition.
That is the most important message to take away from Joel Connelly’s column in today’s Seattle P-I about the close contest for WA’s 8th Congressional District. The Democrats failed to recruit a high profile candidate, thus this was a seat that only a few short months ago the bigwigs in both parties assumed was safe for Reichert.
Not anymore.
Worry-free last winter, Republicans are far from sanguine in the spring.
“This is where they think they can flip a seat,” KVI radio host John Carlson warned 1,200 people at Reichert’s re-election kickoff breakfast in Bellevue.
On that, there is bipartisan agreement.
Through sheer will, hard work, smarts and force of personality, Darcy Burner, an unknown “third tier candidate,” has turned WA-08 into one of the hottest races in the nation. This is a remarkable feat, and is in itself a huge blow to the GOP’s efforts to retain control of Congress, as Burner has forced them into sinking money into a seat they hadn’t budgeted on defending.
Reichert still has many of the advantages of incumbency, not the least of which being name ID and access to lobbyist and PAC money. (Thus far, Reichert has raised over 42 percent of his contributions from PACs, whereas PACs comprise only 7 percent of Burner’s funds.) But both these gaps are closing… and here is where the grassroots comes in.
Burner shocked the political establishment by out-raising Reichert $334,000 to $268,000 in the first quarter… but that still leaves Reichert with a $725,000 to $357,000 cash on hand advantage.
I expect Burner to spend her money more wisely than Reichert, but she needs to at least keep pace with his fundraising from here on out to keep this race close. And to do this, she’s going to need a lot more help from us.
If every one of my readers donated only $200 to Burner’s campaign, we’d wipe out the money gap overnight. Of course, I don’t expect it to be that easy (though you’re all welcome to prove me wrong,) but if only a hundred of you signed up to host a house party or fundraiser, it could easily put Burner over the top. We really can make a difference.
A lot of local Republicans were awfully damn smug about this race heading into 2006… wouldn’t you like to play a role in wiping that smile off their face?

END QUOTE
The bipartisan agreement isn’t that the Democrats can flip the seat. Instead, the bipartisan agreement is that the Democrats THINK they can flip the seat.
“If every one of my readers donated only $200 to Burner’s campaign, we’d wipe out the money gap overnight. Of course, I don’t expect it to be that easy (though you’re all welcome to prove me wrong,) but if only a hundred of you signed up to host a house party or fundraiser, it could easily put Burner over the top. We really can make a difference.”
By all means, go right ahead. If you folks can divert Darcy Burner into attending 100 house parties in Seattle — hopefully raising no more money than gets put into a “Drinking Liberal” festival — this should have a tremendous impact in the 7th (whoops, I meant 8th) congressional district race.
I Know it’s threatening to you Pope-a-Dope, but Darcy is a real candidate with a real chance at winning. She isn’t a a lame joke with a sad punchline like you. . . .

Only stupid political insiders even care. Raise a lot, spend it wisely and win. Money is not a taint in capitalist America. WE all must deal with that topic.
It is interesting how candidates try to claim virtue in fundraising, when it is a not issue at all – and delivers no votes.

A good start would be Mark the Welsher paying the $100 he owes you, Goldy. Sounds like Burner could use it even more than Cantwell, so if Welsher Mark decides to reclaim his tarnished honor by paying his gambling debt (don’t hold your breath; knowing Mark as we do, you may have to enforce it with the traditional washtub and sack of concrete method), I think you should accept a donation of $100 to Burner instead of Cantwell as payment in full.

I went to get my “pet license” today so I would be, you know, legal and all that. It went like this:
ROGER RABBIT: Good morning, I need a pet license.
CITY BUREAUCRAT: Yes, sir. Who is the license for?
ROGER RABBIT: Me.
CITY BUREAUCRAT: Very well, sir. I’ll need this form completed, twenty dollars, and proof you’ve been neutered.
ROGER RABBIT: Neutered? Of course I’ve been neutered!
CITY BUREAUCRAT: I’m sorry, sir, but I need PROOF you’ve been neutered before I can issue you a pet license.
ROGER RABBIT: Proof? What proof?! I oughta know whether I’ve been neutered or not.
CITY BUREAUCRAT: I’m very sorry, but it needs to be documented.
ROGER RABBIT: I lost the paperwork. Why can’t you just take my word for it?
CITY BUREAUCRAT: We can’t rely on your self-serving statement.
ROGER RABBIT: Huh? Are you calling me a LIAR?!!
CITY BUREAUCRAT: Now that you mention it — yes.
ROGER RABBIT: Wanna see my scar?
CITY BUREAUCRAT: Not really.
ROGER RABBIT: Well, since you’re calling me a liar, I’m gonna show you my scar anyway! I’ve got my honor to defend!
CITY BUREAUCRAT: That’s a butt crack!
ROGER RABBIT: Is not! It’s a surgical scar where I was neutered when I was a little bunny!!!!
CITY BUREAUCRAT: I’ve been married long enough to know a butt crack when I see one!
ROGER RABBIT: Oh yeah? Are you married to a rabbit?
CITY BUREAUCRAT: No, and leave my wife out of this.
ROGER RABBIT: Unless you’re married to a rabbit, how do you know what a rabbit’s butt crack looks like?
CITY BUREAUCRAT: Security. We need security down here.
ROGER RABBIT: Fuck you!!! I’ll just KEEP my $20 and run around unlicensed!!! FUCK you!!!! Moron!! Monster!! BUREAUCRAT!!! I’ll FIX you — I’m gonna vote REPUBLICAN and then you won’t be PAID anymore!!!

Roger Rabid….every penny of state pension benefits I’ve ever received is MY MONEY that was DEDUCTED from MY PAYCHECKS

Well we know Sheriff Davie’s wife won’t be giving him any money. After the way he treated her during the divorce, she’ll probably vote for Darcy.
We need to make sure Darcy has enough money to run extensive TV ads detailing how much and how often Sheriff Davie went to the DeLay / Abrahamoff till and showing how tightly Sheriff Davie is tied to the failed GOP White House which stands at 33 % approval, lowest in history!
Maybe Darcy Burner needs Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.) to come here and help her raise money. Mollohan has done an excellent job of fundraising for himself, and his talents could do wonders for Burner.
Not to mention that Mollohan will have plenty of free time to campaign for others, now that he has stepped down from the House Ethics Committee. And if he gets replaced by a honest Democrat, then the Democrats on the panel might finally stop blocking ethics investigations, like they have for the last 16 months.
“The top Democrat on the House ethics committee, Alan Mollohan, will leave the panel _ at least temporarily _ while he defends his own financial conduct, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday.
Mollohan’s decision comes in an election year when his party is accusing majority Republicans of allowing a “culture of corruption” in Congress.
Mollohan, of West Virginia, will be replaced by Rep. Howard Berman of California, a former ranking Democrat on the panel. Mollohan has denied any wrongdoing.
The only evenly divided panel in the House, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has been divided along partisan lines for the past 16 months and unable to launch any major new investigations. If Mollohan had stayed while under his own ethics cloud, the chances for the stalemate to end would have been almost impossible.
The Wall Street Journal reported two weeks ago that Mollohan steered millions of dollars to nonprofit groups in his district _ with much of the money going to organizations run by people who contribute to the lawmaker’s campaigns.
Also, a conservative group filed a complaint with federal prosecutors this year questioning whether Mollohan correctly reported his assets on financial disclosure forms.”
http://www.breitbart.com/news/.....KC1G9.html
BTW Richard, in the candidate questionaire you filled out when you ran for Port Commissioner in 2005, you only listed King County Assessor, Port Commissioner, and State Attorney General as offices you ran for but did not win.
You didn’t reveal that you ran for King County Prosecutor in 1998.
Why this omission? You listed offices you ran for in 1996, 2000, 2001 and 2003. Don’t you want to know of your attempt to unseat Norm Maleng? Is there something about this campaign that you are ashamed of?
Don’t you want the people to know?
LeftEqualsStupid @ 27
What is this crap about Dave Reichert BEING DIVORCED? There is no divorce case filed whatsoever. Dave and Julie Reichert are both registered at the same address in Auburn. And Reichert’s official biography still has him as married and living together:
“David G. Reichert, 55, was born in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, the oldest of seven children and grandson of the town marshal. His family moved to Washington state in 1951, living first in Renton and later in Kent, where Reichert attended Kent Meridian High School. He graduated from Concordia Lutheran College in Portland, Oregon, where he played football and met his wife of 35 years, Julie. The Reicherts currently live in Auburn and have three grown children, Angela, Tabitha and Daniel, and six grandchildren.”

Take a look, in case you’ve forgotten.

VoterAdvocate @ 29
The Municipal League questionnaire only contains three lines for offices that I ran for and didn’t get elected to. It isn’t possible to add another line to the form — at least with my computer abilities.
So I listed previous runs for King County Assessor, Port Commissioner, and State Attorney General, since I had made it to the general election for each office at least once.
When I ran for King County Prosecutor in 1998, I was eliminated by a very narrow margin in the primary election.
I did provide the Municipal League with additional material, including disclosure of my 1998 candidacy for King County Prosecutor, since there was not space to list that on the form.
Also, the year of election only allowed for seven characters to be entered. So I had to write “99 & 01” for Port of Seattle and “96 & 00” for State Attorney General.
If I run again for something (and the Municipal League does not change their form), I will have to simply put “Various” for Port of Seattle, since it would be impossible to list three years in just seven characters.
VoterAdvocate @ 32
It was a very close election. I lost the primary by only 0.16% of the vote. It was the one election where I regret not doing any campaigning.

“The reference was obviously about the fact that 1/2 the money (or more) in your paycheck was subsidy in the first place. Commentby hillary— 4/21/06@ 3:25 pm”
If you’re referring to the fact I was paid for my work from tax money — I say, so what???
Let’s say Assus works for a business and gets out of money spent by customers. His wages don’t belong to the customers anymore, they belong to him. Same with my pension checks — I did the work, and part of my pay was withheld to fund my pension, and ALL of the pension checks I’ve ever received came out of MY CONTRIBUTION to the retirement fund. State agencies also pay contributions into the retirement fund, although so far, I haven’t received a penny of employer contribution money, because when you retire, they pay you out of your own funds first. This money doesn’t belong to the government. If I die, Mrs. Rabbit will get the balance of what I paid in, and the interest earned by my contributions. She would NOT get any of the employer contribution money, though. Only if I live long enough to go through all of my own contributions, then go through all of the employer contributions, plus all of the interest earned by both my contributions and the employer contributions, would I get any money from the retirement system’s earnings. In no event will there ever be any taxpayer subsidy, because the state retirement system pays its own way from emploee-employer contributions and investment earnings.
Now, I realize there’s talk in the legislature of “funding” a retirement system “shortfall.” But what they’re actually talking about is making up employer contributions that weren’t paid because of the tight state budget during the Bush Recession. Instead of appropriating enough money to pay all of the state’s payroll expenses, the legislature saved money by setting employer contribution rates artificially low — in effect, they borrowed from the pension fund. All they’re talking about doing now is repaying what they “borrowed.”
Taxpayers DO NOT subsidize state pensions! It’s true state workers have better pension benefits (and get more vacation days, etc.) than many private sector workers, but this is offset by drastically lower pay for similar work. There’s no free lunch anywhere, guys! Nobody is giving away free money, least of all the state, which is notoriously tight-fisted when it comes to compensating its workers.
Let’s do a little test. I wonder how many of our indignant righty trolls who think they’re getting ripped off by state taxes would be willing to give up their salaries and accept state pay for the same work? The line forms over here.
Well … if state jobs are so cushy — you know, high pay, great pensions, terrific health benefits, etc. — THEN WHY AREN’T THEY WORKING IN STATE JOBS?
There are only two possible answers. One, their private sector jobs are a MUCH BETTER DEAL in terms of the whole package of pay, benefits, and perks. Or, two, they’re too stupid or incompetent to get a state job.

Well, well, well … Richard the Dope ran against Maleng as a DEMOCRAT. Isn’t that interesting. Was Richard afraid to take on Norm in the PRIMARY??? Was Richard LYING about his party affiliation? It certainly looks that way!!! Hey Richard — if you’re a Democrat, I’m the Easter Bunny!!!
Rabbit @ 35
I see that you are a selfish rabbit. You didn’t want to provide for Mrs. Rabbit to have a survivor pension after your death. It must be nice to get about 10% more pension while you are alive, instead of having Mrs. Rabbit continue to receive your check after your death. But what else can you expect from a Democrat?
http://www.drs.wa.gov/Member/P.....iciary.pdf
I’ve looked for that USA Today article about Dems going to North Korea and I cant find it. Maybe you can provide a link or the title of the article…if it exists.
Rabbit @ 32
Yeah, that was a really close primary. Lost by only 476 or so votes out of 310,000 ballots cast. Too bad I picked the only Norm Maleng re-election campaign in the last 28 years when he had any opponents.
Is anyone going to run as Democrat against Maleng this year? If 2006 is supposed to be such a good year for Democrats that someone has a chance in the 8th district (the weakest area of the county for Democrats), then county-wide ought to be a cakewalk.
And since we have the new primary system, where someone has to pick one party ballot or the other, whoever runs as a Democrat against Maleng will get far more votes in the primary than Maleng gets.
Even if the alleged Democrat was a total bozo, he or she would still get the votes of nearly every person who chose a Democrat ballot. After all, 410,718 people voted for Will Baker in the GOP primary, out of 557,106 who took GOP ballots. Which isn’t so bad, considering that GOP incumbents Sam Reed and Doug Sutherland received only 448,945 and 433,077 votes respectively.
Maybe Stan Lippmann would be a good candidate for the Democrats for King County Prosecuting Attorney this year :)
Hey Poop-
Why don’t YOU run as the GREEN candidate?
I think we’re on to something here. It looks like the GOP has another IRONS-style in Sheriff Davie. Could there be some wife beating going on that led to the divorce?
And by the way POPEADOPE since when do you believe what’s written on a candidate’s web site? PROVE Sheriff Davie’s never had a divorce. Prove it.
And if you’ll believe the lies on Sheriff Davie’s website then maybe you should not worry whether or not Darcy reported that she got straight As in law school on her own web site. Can’t have it both ways POPEADOPE but you righties always want to pretend you can.
Have you been divorced POPEADOPE and isn’t that a sin among you bible-thumpin, right wing taliban types?
33.
Well, I guess if it were me, I’d leave off the run for Assessor in ’96, but it was your decision…
I think, however, that omitting the fact that you, a very conservative Republican, ran as a Democrat should sufficiently make you a resident of a glass house to deter you from throwing stones at Darcy Burner over the content of her biography.
Roger Rabid…THEN WHY AREN’T THEY WORKING IN STATE JOBS?
Because it is very difficult to work in an inefficient system where laziness and counter-productivity is rewarded. It takes “special” people to endure that work environment for an entire career.
Roger Rabid…If you’re referring to the fact I was paid for my work from tax money – I say, so what???
No, the reference is to how much extra is paid to govenment workers for a job done poorly. The market value of the work quality (not quantity) is well below half that paid. i.e. subsidy.

Roger Rabbit likes bunny bucks? What would Mrs. Rabbit think?
Goldy: I am sure the PACs from Mooron.Org, “Hilary PACs”, George Soros’ “Overseas Political Investments” or some other moonbat leftist librul 527 PAC will soon be sending Burner her monies. When George Soros delivers, will Darcy Burner be forced to admit she “supports marijuana decriminalization” to accept his money? George does!
That 7% number will increase astronomically when that happens. Please be sure to repost those PAC funds when they come through later this summer! Ooops… that assumes Goldy is fair. NOT!

I believe Mrs. Rabbit is what they in Hollywood call a “beard.” It is really sad, actually. Roger doesn’t understand that if he were simply to be honest with himself and with us, he’d still be the same ol’ Roger Rabbit to the folks on HA. I wonder if the venom and vomit that spews from his keyboard is simply suppressed rage about being in the closet. The irony is that if Roger were a Republican, many (though, admittedly not all) would welcome him — “as-is” — under the big tent. But he knows that as a Dem he must hide in shame because their overtures to the GLBT(?) community is merely pandering. As I said, I feel bad for the guy.
CHARITABLE FUNDRAISER
I would hereby like to start a charitable fundraiser to buy “WAKE UP PEOPLE” a keyboard without a broken CapsLock key. Please send your donations to Goldy and I’m sure he can forward them appropriately (after, of course, taking his union contract authorized “skim”).

You are asking a lot of Goldy. You’re asking him to be intellectually honest and to bit the hand that feeds him. Would you ask or expect the same from someone like Rush Limbaugh?
Both Goldy and Rush are blind partisans who will even attack a member of their own party for not falling in with the official party line. While each has made some real contributions by “breaking” stories, they’re really more self-styled crusaders who get their talking points from their respective parties.
What is interesting is that Rush is clearly “conservative,” while Goldy professes to be “progressive.” Goldy fails to realize that blind partisanship is just more of the same old thing. The only difference between the Dems and GOP are the names of the rich, white, power-hungry men who run the parties. The MorOn.org crowd is just the Left’s answer to Young Republicans (albeit with worse bathing habits).
Goldy, when you stop being a shill and start being intellectually honest with your postings and commentary, THEN you will be “progressive.” Until then, you’re just a “Democrat.”
