Not fit? Won't fit?

Where's Darcy?

Dan Savage spotted a story in the NYT and looked for the local angle...

I quickly scanned the story, looking for Darcy Burner’s name—but she’s not in there. There’s an illo of “Democratic Women to Watch,” and Burner’s not in there either.

Hm. This is oversight on the part of the NYT, and not, I think, an indication that Burner doesn’t have a shot in Washington’s increasingly liberal, increasingly urban 8th District. Still, it would have been nice to see Burner’s name in the piece.

It sure would have been. Of course, if you agree, you can do something about it. Apparently Darcy's still about $60 thou short of the money she needs to earn the 'Red to Blue' match from the DCCC. She gets that and she'll start showing up in all kinds of articles. Five, ten, twenty bucks today is a down payment on a new Congress in November.

Go ahead and click. You know you want to...
