Local dems better get their shit together

[Union Thug]

In the past week I've received 5 attack flyers in the mail from the Republican party. Three of them savaged Darcy Burner and two of them attempt to vilify Pat Sullivan and Geoff Simpson. I've received NOTHING from the Democratic Party.

Why nothing from the Dems? It's not like we are in the minority here and are starved for local funding. Or is it?

2. Hey, you must be in my district!

You should be getting flyers from Claudia Kauffman, and Geoff has several coming out in the next couple weeks. I should be in the photos of the next set of Geoff's ads, too.

6. I just started receiving Kauffman flyers.

I think I saw one from Geoff S. recently too. So I guess it's starting to get better, but I'll be damned if I've seen any rebuttal to anti-Burner blitzkrieg!

3. I get nothing from Republicans.

Nada. But, I live in Montlake, so that's a given.

4. By the way, I hope you know about the Labor Neighbor days

The Washington State Labor Council is doing two Labor Neighbor days in our district for local candidates: October 14 for Darcy Burner, and October 28 for Kauffman/Sullivan/Simpson. http://www.wslc.org/cope/LN-sched.htm

Hope you can join us!

5. Me too...

I understand your concern, Thug. I get calls all the time from Repukes. I kinda enjoy them, as I gleefully explain how much joy it will bring me to vote against them, and why. Still, I worry that some people might be swayed by the wave of negative ads they're running.

7. someone else on DU suggested that the "October Surprise"

is simply the massive amount of capital the repukes are dumping into the '06 Hate and Fear tour.
