Dropping Like Flies Edition

This week's Republican to decide he's had enough is Rep. Jim Walsh, who represents a pretty blue district in NY-25 (the Syracuse area), where there is a great progressive candidate named Dan Maffei already in the wings (he lost by a mere two points last time). That flipped seat will improve the government in major ways, and while the change in the President is obviously of paramount importance, what's happening in the Congress will have positive ramifications well into the future. Getting Donna Edwards and Mark Pera into the House over some bad Bush Dog Democrats would also help. You can donate to them here. I'm in for twenty bucks.
