"Although Nancy Skinner ran as the Democrat in this race in 2006 and after she showed that the incumbent Joe Knollenberg was vulnerable by coming within 6 points of him (his closest race in 14 years), the traditional Democratic machine became interested in the District. They didn't give Skinner a cent or even any help in her race and have since complained that she wasn't good at fundraising. She was outspent by 3 to 1, but still came closer to winning than any democrat in the district. (I'm not endorsing Skinner, I'm just setting up the background here.)"

You know, me and Mr. Brewer need to have a mano e mano talk one of these days, so I can talk some sense into the MDP.

Sheesh.
