Darcy Burner Love
Over at HorsesAss, Goldy suggests that I have a crush on Darcy Burner and warns that she has a husband.
(Confidential to Goldy: What with me being a homo and all, I don’t think Mr. Burner has much to worry about. I will admit, however, to loving Darcy’s power suits and pearls.)
Goldy goes on to say that a lot of people are becoming infatuated with Burner lately—or, at least, with her candidacy. And he echoes The Stranger’s excitement about her:
This is a seat the Democrats must win — a blue district in a blue state — if they’re to have any hope of regaining control of the House. And as The Stranger makes clear, the Democrats have the strategy, the circumstances, and the candidate to do it.
Well... it could be the gay man/straight woman equivalent of a man-crush, couldn't it?
In any case, I just wanted to play up the palpable sense of excitement surrounding Darcy, that you not only reported on, but seemed to actually inspire your reporting. Darcy has the potential to really excite voters. She can not only win... she can win by a comfortable margin.
