A super-PAC for nurses that has spent more than $1 million in support of Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign has endorsed a primary challenger to Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.)

National Nurses United on Wednesday announced their endorsement of Florida professor Tim Canova, who is trying to to unseat Wasserman Schultz in the Democratic primary.

Canova is mounting the first intra-party challenge to Wasserman Schultz since she was first elected to the House in 2004.

“On issue after issue, Tim Canova lines up with the concerns of nurses and our patients while Debbie Wasserman Schultz has turned her back on these concerns,” said Deborah Burger, the NNU's co-president, at a press conference Thursday.

Awesome!

1. Go for it...

I hope she can be unseated.

2. Neither one is photogenic, but I'm damned tired of seeing DWS's mug in every article about Tim.

Thanks for posting this endorsement.

14. He would look super cute with hair.

[Buddyblazon]

34. As a bald man who is sexy as fuck...

I feel great disdain for your post. Bald-baiting? Not cool, man. Not cool.

[Dont call me Shirley]

38. I didn't say he was not cute bald, nor was I meaning to imply that. Bald is cute. Hair is cute.

[PWPippin]

21. Looks shouldn't be the most important thing about a person, but first impressions do count.

i like his smile and he seems to have "kind" eyes. Nice looking man. My son is balding and my son in law is bald, so I'm quite partial to men without a head of hair.

[ancianita]

24. My dad was bald, too. Bald is fine. I just get tired of seeing photos of HER in articles about HIM.

[PWPippin]

27. I understand and would be happy never to see her image again.

[closeupready]

39. ??? I think he's hot.

I mean, facewise.

[stuffmatters]

3. Great news!

[houston16revival]

4. Grassroots progressives

have been mumbling for 16 years

Began with old time Democrats in 2000

Nice to see there is finally a movement

to counter DLC and Tea Party vocals

[valerief]

5. Woo hoo! nt

[red dog 1]

6. Kick!

This is great news!

A defeat of DWS in the Democratic primary is probably the only way to get her removed as DNC Chair, since President Obama will never remove her otherwise.

[SoapBox]

7. Yes!

As always, money is needed...donate a few bucks if you can.

36. Now you tell me! I'll donate through there next time!

[Lordquinton]

10. Will the DNC do it's job and help him out?

Rhetorical question, they haven't even been helping Sanders out like they should.

[Cassiopeia]

19. I doubt Debbie is going to help her opponent.

[Lordquinton]

30. She would also have to be doing her job

Which is something she hasn't been. I wish I could have her performance record and keep it rolling in.

[ancianita]

25. Nah, the DNC doesn't ever give money to progressive candidates. We must be the donators.

[hopemountain]

32. sounds like an outright

conflict of interest.... grrrr.

[Uncle Joe]

11. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Cassiopeia.

[lark]

13. DWS must go!!

Backing Tim Canova in this one and donating to get rid of the demon pretend Dem.

[Dont call me Shirley]

15. Go Tim!

[Ferd Berfel]

16. Great News

Her political career needs to be over. Time for her to openly become the smarmy lobbyist she actually is

[NCjack]

28. Tim's photo is infinitely better. Debbie looks like she just lost a bar fight. /nt

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

37. Oh God, I can't stand looking at that evil woman!

[maq-az]

18. Bernie's super-pac

[Cassiopeia]

20. Bernie set up this Super PAC and is working directly with it?

I would love to see something that proves that.

[mucifer]

26. Yeah a bunch of nurses and our billions of dollars

we need to get DWS the hell out of Washington. She's destroying what's left of the Democratic Party.

[redruddyred]

31. i've been following these ladies on twitter

and am more than impressed with their political efforts. go nurses!

[hopemountain]

33. he gave a great support of bernie

interview yesterday on msnbc with chris hayes. chris hayes was hammering on him about his reasons to come out in support of bernie - just before the primary. duuuuuh. tim was very upbeat.

sidenote: chris was also relentless and very disrespectful toward alan grayson regarding his announced support of bernie. this was on the same wednesday show. chris just couldn't shut up about it and kept talking over senator grayson.

40. Phhht. She'll land on her feet, in Clinton's cabinet.

Or ambassador to a "first-world" country somewhere.

She's paid her dues to HDRC.

[Cassiopeia]

42. Clinton is going to have a cabinet

when she retires from politics in 4 months or so?

[warrprayer]

41. No gnus

Like good gnus!
