2008 Burner’s Money Getting National Notice
posted by on July 29 at 9:40 AM
CQ (not to be confused with GQ) looks at Congressional races in which the opposite-party challenger has more cash on hand than the incumbent, and finds that eastside Democrat Darcy Burner is high on that list:
3. Darcy Burner, Democrat, Washington’s 8th ($1.2 million). Burner, who was formerly employed by Microsoft, is taking on two-term Rep. Reichert ($916,000) in a suburban Seattle district in which she came within three percentage points of unseating the congressman in 2006. Burner’s challenge is one reason why Reichert is among the most vulnerable Republican incumbents; so too is the likelihood that his district will back Barack Obama over John McCain for president. CQ Politics Race Rating: No Clear Favorite.
Props to Burner for running again, and not quitting just because she lost the first time.
money does not buy what she needs to win, this no mom in tennis shoes, no political resume
Silver Fox law and order guy - Dave - will win again - narrow margin
even her kid is ugly
CQ is also "Camelid Quarterly" the magazine of a Llama and Alpacas support group:

Am curious, would you bet $1,000 on even odds? I am sure many would take your bet.
