Fantastic ad by a WA DFAer for Darcy Burner's race. Fun to watch.

Darcy Burner lost, I believe, but it was a very competitive race. I think I heard they forced the Republicans to spend 6 million before it was over.

I love ads like this, and it is a great example of the kind of thing our party should be doing in the future with the tools like You Tube and other sides available.

It is done to the music of "Have You Had Enough."

1. that's great

It would be fun to see *'s face on the guy the cops have the first time and "shootum up's" face the second time. Who knows how to cut and paste such things? They could do a loop, put KKKarl, Condi, and all the gang in rotation.

2. How do you know she lost? What voting machines were used to arrive at the verdict?

Here's a write-up from cqpolitics:
http://www.cqpolitics.com/2007/01/fifteen_republicans_squeaked_b.html

"Washington’s 8th

"Republican Rep. Dave Reichert defeated Democratic former Microsoft executive Darcy Burner 51.46 percent to 48.54 percent, a margin of 2.9 percentage points, to claim a 2nd House term."

If there was a recount, I don't see any info. I know the race was close and all accounts I see say she did not win.

I was not being negative about her.??
