Point taken.

When I wrote that "I don't understand why you don't slip Darcy Burner a few bucks right now…," this comment set me straight…

Because some of us need to slip Peter Goldmark and/or Richard Wright even more bucks since they probably won't get much support from the Democratic party money bags. Cathy McMorris and Doc Hastings have to go and spend the rest of their Republican lives with their families.

bluesky's right, of course. We have an outstanding roster of challengers here in the upper left (don't miss Steve Zemke's excellent roundup of recent coverage for all of them at Majority Rules), and while Darcy's no doubt the headliner right now, they each deserve their share of attention and support. Of course, some of us have our pet incumbents, and every one of us should include Maria Cantwell in that category.

Correspondingly, I've updated the Upper Left ActBlue page to include Goldmark and Wright, along with Maria and my own personal Congressman (anybody know how to get ActBlue to include Jim's defense fund?). Give to any one. Give to everyone. Give what you can.

But please, give something to someone.
