Voting ends Wednesday, at Midnight.



Just from reading the bios, I'm partial to Jim Hansen, Ed Perlmutter, Joe Sestak and Patty Wetterling, but I'm voting for Carol Voisin because it's personal... Walden needs to go!

Who's your favorite?

1. Wetterling. She was the first congressional candidate to call for

bringing the troops home from Iraq.

Patty Wetterling

In addition, her opponent is a vile homophobe who cannot be unleashed in Washington DC! Bush is in Minnesota today fundraising for Bachmann, the Repuke. ($5,000 for a picture!) Rove and Cheney have already been here supporting Bachmann.

Patty on the War in Iraq
The war in Iraq is costing this country and Minnesota too much and we can no longer afford to continue down the path we are on.

Last October, I became the first serious candidate for federal office in the country to call upon the Administration to bring our troops home by a specific date — Thanksgiving of 2006. I am disappointed that this Administration has yet to begin. We need a strategic plan, measurable goals and a way to get our troops home. In addition, we need to launch a new generation of programs to honor the service of the brave men and women who have served so nobly. With Saddam Hussein removed from power and the now certainty that there are no weapons of mass destruction for us to fear, it is time to return our focus to making America stronger and safer.

Let me be clear: until the last American has left Iraqi soil, we must spend every dollar necessary to arm, support and protect our troops, but the time has come to bring them home.

I will take a back seat to no one when it comes to supporting our troops and our veterans. But I will not remain silent in the face of a war that both my heart and my head tell me is wrong for our country.

Three years after this war started, we still have not seen a plan for ending it, or even some reasonable benchmarks by which we might be able to track our successes and failures in Iraq. Enough is enough. It is time to bring our troops home and time for us to give the new Iraqi nation the sovereignty and independence it needs to combat the insurgency.

2. Nancy Skinner here in Michigan.

She was raising the rallying cry here for
Howard Dean WAY before anyone else had the
courage or the nerve to step up politically
and tell the truth.

She has a sense of humor, she's witty,
she's smart, and she's a SNAPPY DRESSER!

I LOVE HER!
