but I like this part myself

There are quite a few Blue America candidates who were elected Tuesday. One of our first endorsed candidates was Jerry McNerney, whose grassroots, anti-war, progressive campaign was fought by Rahm Emanuel, Ellen Tauscher and the Blue Dogs every step of the way– even after he had won the primary against their shill and even after Jerry was beating Dirty Dick Pombo, one of the most seriously dangerous Republicans in the whole House, in advance polling. Along with our CA-11 allies at SayNoToPombo, we helped raise awareness and seed money for Jerry ($25,000 of it) and rejoiced with the whole nation when he decisively beat the sleazy, corrupt Pombo. Jerry's an independent-minded fighter– and he owes the insidious Emanuel machine exactly nothing.
