| From today's House Race Hotline:
Emboldened by their role in the Dem sweep, liberal bloggers are now targeting Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-CA 10), a Bay Area centrist, pro-business Dem in the mold of Joe Lieberman.
When Berkeley Bubble wrote on Tauscher, guess who showed up?
And MyDD's Matt Stoller gave us a shout out:
Calitics is doing good work tracking Ellen Tauscher (including video). She's a real problem for Democrats, and should face a serious challenge.
UPDATE: While DC seems to get it, this is stoopid talking:
But defenders of Tauscher note that Kos and some others in the blogosphere sharply targeted the moderate Lieberman -- and got credit for getting him defeated in the Democratic primary -- only to find their influence was viewed as profoundly weakened when he was handily re-elected as an independent in the mid-term elections.
Tauscher can't run as an independent once she loses and it was the same blogs that BEAT LIEBERMAN that also put Tester and Webb over the top. I don't know who views flipping the senate as "profoundly weakened" influence, but Marinucci should stop listening to them.
UPDATE II: Ruck Pad goes in-depth on Carla Marinucci |
