1. Oh, yeah!

That's more like it, and they're way bigger than the Building and Construction Workers! Go, Virg!

2. Good news! n/t

3. Don't they know he doesn't have a chance?

:sarcasm:

Seems like it's "anybody but Bernero" as far
as the PARTY is concerned.

Today on OTR, they claimed that the party was
begging CHERRY to reconsider.

They REALLY don't like Bernero.

Which only makes me like him more!

Petitions are available (he needs signatures)
from his website....

4. Agree with you

After the primary fiasco ...

Virg reminds me of an old-school Democrat - pre-DLC. A man of the people.

5. Until the DLC is put out of bidness, good Dems won't have a chance.

I have stepped back from this stuff for awhile. This is partly for personal reasons; partly because of my frustrations over the condition of our state party. However, if Virg gets by the primary, I will get back into the fray. Virg is da man!
