2. Ellen, thanks so much for this. Powell sounds like a gutsy guy!

I'd be SO delighted if he won and sent Cantor to the lockers. I never want to see that ugly man's face again...

3. Great news.

I've seen Powell on MSNBC several times...he should be able to kick ass on Pinhead Cantor.

4. All the comments

were Pro-Powell, that has to be a good sign... How do things look this morning?

I wish I had money to float to every down ticket Dem who is trying to UNSEAT these fucking corporate fatcats.
I cannot believe nobody has been a viable challenger for ten years to this bastard.

Please pass on to Mr. Powell that even Californians are rooting for him!

6. Will do, First. Things look great,

huge twitter + FB activity, debate just rerun on C-SPAN, and Mr. Powell was in California recently raising interest and funds, and is going to Boston for same, soon.

Check him out on FB to read comments from EVERYWHERE!

5. Powell is completely impressive

love his vigor, fight, and way he has no fear of telling Thuglicans what he thinks of their sorry a$$e$.
