Well, David,
I think the DNC is probably using the money they would get from me to “support incumbents”- I think they are as non-progressive as Wynn and Pelosi.

You can’t blame the DNC for what Nancy Pelosi does.

Chris is always around. Al wynn was invisible – and useless -before Donna Edwards challenged him. He is still useless but visible. What was Pelosi thinking to endorse him? I told the DNC to never call me again and never ask for money again.

Unfortunately those of us east of Georgia Avenue north of the CBD weren’t liberated from “that buffoon named Al Wynn.” We’ll just have to vote him out.

I think the Maryland state assembly voted to change the district boundaries back in 2001. Ousting Connie Morella (R) from the 8th District was the primary reason for this gerrymandering. The 8th District took over downtown Silver Spring and Takoma Park; very strong activist liberal areas of the county. That re-districting move was the death knell of Morella’s Congressional career. Furthermore, we were liberated from that buffoon named Al Wynn. YAY DEMOCRATS!

Last I checked, I was in Chris Van Hollen’s district. And if I’m not mistaken, he’s up for re-election, too. Yet I haven’t seen hide nor hair of him — ever!

Yo, Chris, holler at your Penguin!

OK… TOTALLY off topic here.. but how wacky are our congressional districts?? I voted in the wrong district last year (woops) becuase who would have thought moving from Georgian Towers to Twin Towers would change your congressional district!!?? I mean, come on! I realize “Silver Spring” and “Downtown Silver Spring” are unincorporating areas… names with no legal bearing – but you’d think these things would follow SOME sort of logical path! And yes, I realize the reason is that the partisans (uhm.. that’d be the entire congress) somehow have the authority to move the lines back and forth all day long until they get the balance of power they’re looking for – in the process, effectively making some people’s votes more or less significant… but that shouldn’t bother us, we’re not a democracy or anything.

Anyway… I warned ya… totally off topic… but the story about Wynn reminded me of how furious I was when I looked at the district map after that….

I almost never agree with IHY, but he is right about Wynn and Donna Edwards. The sooner Wynn is replaced with a representative more interested in his (or her) constituents than in pleasing the special interests, the better off we will be. E.g., when I contacted him to support net neutrality, I got a response attempting to justify his opposition to it.

In 2008, vote for change. Vote for Donna Edwards for Congressional District #4. Wynn voted in support of the Iraq war. He sided with the Republicans in Congress and President Bush on many issues. I hope the voters of MontCo and PG Counties come to their senses and throw this bum out of office.
