Good news from Democracy for America!
Howard Dean's old outfit, Democracy for America, has announced the first winners of their recent poll to name their Progressive Villain Anti-Endorsements. Mitch McConnell was the lucky Senate winner — and Ohio's very own (even though we wish he'd go someplace else, like Oklahoma) John Boehner was selected as the House Progressive Villain.
As DFA's e-mail said, "These two represent the worst Washington D.C. has to offer. Their Republican Party is more interested in doing the bidding of corporate lobbyists and racist tea baggers to repeal, overturn or defeat President Obama at all costs than they are in doing what's right for America."
But the really good part is that they're not just blowing off steam. The e-mail continues,
"Today, DFA is endorsing Boehner's Democratic opponent, Justin Coussoule, for Ohio's 8th district. We'll contribute volunteers, money, and campaign resources to support Justin's uphill race to defeat the House's biggest Villain."
Alright!!! DFA now joins Hillary Clinton's Legacy PAC in sending resources to help Justin out.
Do I hear you saying, "He can't win?" Please. Assuming all is lost is the first step to losing. We can decide in advance to lose, or we can take the fight to people like the arrogant, lazy Boehner. Personally, I prefer the latter. I loved it yesterday at Tri-C West during Obama's speech when, on his first mention of Boehner, my section started hissing.
I urge you to go to Justin's website, read more about him, sign up for updates, and maybe even donate something. Justin is working hard, and he will make the contributions of the Legacy PAC and DFA go farther than a John Boehner golf swing.

Maybe Justin won't win. But maybe he'll do so well, he'll wipe that smug smirk off Mr. Boehner's orange mug. Wouldn't you like to see that? And you never know. Miracles do happen sometimes. We keep hearing people are fed up with incumbents. Why should that just apply to Democrats?
