Primary Watch: Donna Edwards, Mark Pera

The IL-03 election is just a day away, and Dan Lipinski has decided to tag Mark Pera supporters as a bunch of far-left socialists. They papered the Southwest Side of Chicago with these flyers calling Pera supporters "left-wing extremists" from "San Francisco and Hollywood" (guilty, but I've also lived in Chicago), who are "political punks" that snicker at the military and old people. No, really:



This is a Democratic primary, mind you.

Meanwhile, Donna Edwards outraised Al Wynn in the 4th quarter of 2007, and has more cash on hand as well as support from independent groups like SEIU and the League of Conservation Voters.

If we get just one of these two races, it'll be a political shock to the system. I think we can get both, because progressives and Democrats are so disappointed in this Congress and these incumbents.

Go Mark and Donna!
