Burner and the National Netroots
Some of the major national political blogs (the liberal ones, of course) are currently trying to decide which Democratic candidates to add to their ActBlue page, which so far has raised over $140,000 for six House and Senate candidates.
Not surprisingly, there’s a strong local push to get eastside Democrat Darcy Burner added to the page.
The idea of adding Burner has been getting a lot of support on MyDD and a good number of endorsements on DailyKos, too. She recently told reporters that it could cost her $2 million to unseat freshman Republican Congressman Dave Reichert, and there’s no doubt that being added to the national bloggers’ ActBlue page could help her, since it would mean contributions from liberal blog readers across the nation.
Horsesass makes the case for nominating Burner here. If you’re persuaded, you can vote for her in the comments here or here.
Eli--Just get up the nerve and ask her out. Start small--get together for a cup of coffee, get her to talk about her life (law school? really?) and then tell her about yours. Leave it at that for the first date, call her up a couple days later, let her know what a great time you had, and see if she's up for dinner or a movie.
If she gets a restraining order against you, that means she's probably not interested. How about Rodney Tom? He seems like such a nice young man. . .
