A win for progressive liberals

I still have some concerns about whether she will be the stronger candidate against Burr, but I'm glad Elaine Marshall won the Democratic primary in North Carolina. I liked Cal, he worked hard, but he was the establishment's hand picked choice and she won decisively. It sent a good message to the DC Dems. And it seems they heard it. National committee is talking to her now and Cal's already pledged his support.

In any event, I'm happy to support her. Even happier to finally have a candidate. Runoff elections make you wait a long time.
