Donna Edwards beats Al Wynn in MD-4 Primaries

[rpannier]

This is good news as progressive Donna Edwards has beaten 'bush-dog' al wynn in what wynn referred to as "The vast leftwing conspiracy."

Some stories from the campaign:

Al Wynn in the Baltimore Sun:
There seems to be a vast, dare I say, left-wing conspiracy designed to circumvent campaign finance laws,” Wynn told reporters during a conference call. “Within this scheme, her supporters are coordinating efforts to exceed fundraising limits and engaging in illegal campaign activities.”…

From Donna Edwards Campaign:
Donna Edwards, the insurgent candidate from Fort Washington, has defeated the odds and unseated an eight-term incumbent Rep. Albert Wynn in the Democratic primary in Maryland's 4th Congressional District. Edwards' message of change in Congress and Washington resonated with voters who came out overwhelmingly to support her. If elected in the heavily Democratic district in the November general election, Donna Edwards will become the first African American woman in Maryland's Congressional delegation.

This how we do it folks. Get 'em in the primaries.
They (the Dem establishment) may not like us (Grassroots Progressives). But the ignore us at their own peril.

4. Mookie!!! What's up???

Thanks for the info.

It helps to know these things when someone comes whining to me about the 'divisiveness within the Democratic Party."

8. We, in the Greater DC area are thrilled...

by her victory.

Folks carrying signs for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama at Friendship Heights metro station in the morning had a great time together. Really nice. The Dems are going to smush McCain flat as a bug.

Donna Edwards didn't just beat that tool, she beat him Big Time.

7. AHA!!!!

A member of the 'vast leftwing conspiracy' has been ferreted out.

So how deep was this 'VAST' conspiracy?

How far into the depths of society does this "Left wing conspiracy go?"

I have heard the "Vast Leftwing Conspiracy" was on the Grassy Knoll in Dallas. Is this true?

Matt Drudge will want to know.

On a serious note:
Good for you fellow "Conspirator"
