Politics / Woods Democrats Wish Upon a Star in 6th District
Posted by Jeff Woods on Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 11:04 AM
Lou Ann Zelenik is "the tea party candidate," he tells the Southern Political Report, suggesting that she's crazy. If Sen. Diane Black wins the nomination, Democrats could hit her for employing the staffer who sent the "Obama Spook" email, he says.
There's one small problem with this analysis: Democrats don't have a candidate. As for that, Forrester says. "We're in discussions with a number of different people about running. We certainly are working aggressively to recruit a candidate... We're hoping for a moderate, business-oriented candidate."

I'm sure a "moderate, business-oriented candidate" is exactly what will inspire the Democratic base to go all out with the fundraising, door-knocking and phone calling.

SB,
"Moderate, business-oriented" sounds remarkably like the Democratic base in the 6th District. If you don't think those are good Democrats, we will happily welcome them into the Republican Party.
You are welcome to all the "extremist, anti-business" Democrats in the 6th. All 6 of them.
Perhaps you should start the Leftist equivalent of the 'Tea Party' movement to purify the Democratic Party. You could call it the 'Brie Party' or the 'Chablis Party.'
I love the image (and imagine the pungent odor) of the Brie hat-wearing Brie Party rallies! Maybe it's a good idea seeing how the MSM is cowering before the Tea Partiers.
Seriously though, it's February for God's sake. If nobody's running as a D in the 6th now, we have to stop even talking about keeping that seat.
Chip Forrester is delusional. He lives in a "If wishing made it so" kind of world. What has he said in his entire illustrious tenure that has actually proven to be right?
Surely there is a gay SEIU member in the 6th ready to fight for a robust public option, comprehensive immigration reform, repeal of Don't Ask/Don't Tell and the defense of marriage act and to create green jobs? Someone Ms. Mancini and the progressive soldiers can march for?
