It's Never too Early to Take Back Congress in 2012 - Candidates We Can Support Now

[liskddksil]

These progressive candidates have already announced that they will be running. Significant fund raising help now will ensure that they can be competitive next year.

CA-3:

Ami Bera, a medical doctor, ran for this seat against Dan Lundgren in 2010, and came up short. With the increased turnout generated by the presidential election, this race could be winnable this time.

MI-8:

Lance Enderle ran as a write-in after another Democrat dropped out against long-time incumbent Mike Rogers. With re-districting possible to shake up many of the races, and the unpopularity of Gov. Rick Snyser and buyer-remorse setting in, any Democrat has a chance this cycle.

NH-1:

Carol Shea-Porter represented this district from 2006 to 2010, when she lost to Frank Guinta. However, the dynamics will be completely different with 2012 being a presidential election, and the significant over-reaching by the GOP house, (Guinta like all but four Republicans has voted yesterday to privatize Medicare.)

NH - 2:

Ann Mclane Kuster came up just short against Charlie Bass in 2010 during a bad year all-around. Kuster ran a progressive campaign last-time and beat Katrina Swett in the primary election, who attacked Kuster for being too liberal for the district.

1. I don't live in any of their districts, but I'll send them what money I can spare.

Sadly for me, my choices will be between candidates who try to out conservative the other. Corker is a terrible representative.

4. Ohioans better be supporting Sen. Sherrod Brown!

I realize he's an incumbent, but I wanted to add him in here anyway. Love him!

5. I support Sen Brown!

I don't live in OH but I will send him what I can. He's a good man!

9. Just curious, how is Ohio's other senator?

Is he a progressive? I only ask because of the rumors of Kucinich being gerrymandered out of his district.

6. Thanks, liskddksil.

While too many are worried about the GOP's non-contender contenders for POTUS, you have correctly identified a more useful area to focus on.

Obama is a two-termer. Who will he be working with is the big question.

Good on you!

7. No problem-i'm stealing Emily's List's phrase

"Early Money is Like Yeast".

The Democratic Party has really disappointed me over the past 5 years. I say third party!
