Given John Kerry's email appeal for Linda Stender today (amongst others) I feel obliged to point out that incumbent Republican Mike "Mr. Embryo" Ferguson also faces one of the best single-district blogs around and almost certainly the best parody site around.

Kerry's message Vote Republican, destroy the environment — that seems to be the basic message of an e-mail solicitation on behalf of Democratic congressional candidates sent yesterday by Sen. John Kerry, who describes his goal to "defeat Republican candidates who have sold out the environment whenever it really counts."
"We have these anti-environment Republicans on the run. Let's keep it that way," the Massachusetts Democrat tells supporters in a fundraising e-mail "focusing on a handful of races across the nation that are absolutely critical to the environment."
Mentioning his fundraising "for three critical House challengers: Ron Klein in Florida, Francine Busby in California, and Darcy Burner in Washington state," Mr. Kerry says, "Today, we've added a new candidate to the list — Linda Stender who is running in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District. Linda is not only a strong environmental candidate, she has also fought to protect the right to privacy, and she has been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration's failed policies in Iraq."
Mr. Kerry continues, "I told you earlier that two of the GOP incumbents we're out to defeat,
Clay Shaw and Dave Reichert, had identical 28 percent voting records on the League of Conservation Voters' scorecard. Linda's opponent, Mike Ferguson, is even worse. In the last session of Congress, he voted pro-environment only 17% of the time.
