MoveOn is considering Dan Kohl-6th District for an endorsement.

They’re polling members, and I will vote yes because the perfectly awful Glenn Grothman must be defeated. My biggest problem with Kohl is his “disavowal” of Nancy Pelosi for Speaker. I submitted this comment on his web site’s contact page, for what it’s worth:

“Dear Mr. Kohl,

My single-minded consideration for the upcoming mid-term election is to be part of a blue tsunami that washes every Republican out to sea for a couple of generations, till we clean up the mess they’ve made of America. You have my vote. That said, I am concerned about reports that you have “disavowed” Nancy Pelosi as Speaker. As thrilled as I am about the new blood coming into the Democratic Party, we still need wise elders with institutional memory and proven track records of success, to keep us from crashing on the rocks. Diversity is strength.

Instead of allowing yourself to be cowed by the relentless, ageist, misogynist attacks on Nancy Pelosi, I encourage you to show more backbone and valor. One of the most frustrating, infuriating traits of the Democratic Party is the tendency to be herded over the cliff by right-wing bullies.”
