Dark Horse Kentucky Derby Winner in Rhode Island US Senate Race?
State Democratic Endorsement process on Monday - a day following the 31st anniversary of the Vietnam War's ending (May 7). We did very, very well.

The Providence Journal carried the specific portion of our progressive message about Bush's impeachment and bringing our troops home now.

The hilights are at the below links.

I want to thank the DU'ers Kat and Pat who helped me to craft our message.

The photo is our new billboard to coincide with our Be Patriotic Impeach Bush billboard that now faces Southbound traffic along I-95.... Your contributions have helped keep these messages up. Thank you.

Please kick this message across the blogosphere. It's been a team effort since February and we deserve to be recognized as making things happen in Little Rhody and across the nation.

Carl
Sheeler for US Senate

2. Congrats, Carl! Great speech!
Four rounds of applause must have felt pretty good:. )

Now I'm going to look for the link to the ProJo article.

5. That speech made me tingle all over!
And that was just reading it. Did anyone tape it?
I'd love to see it!

To know that there are real people out there
fighting for us give me more hope than I've had
in a long time. Thank YOU!


Carl Sheeler- People first!

7. Rhode Island is a state where we should be able to get a true Dem in.
Jack Reed is pretty good. I hope we can do as well in this upcoming election. As I understand it, Whitehouse is a little disappointing in this regard.

11. But But, is Carl a true DEM? Until recently he was a PUB...Then, 2 years
ago, he run for an elective office as an INDEPENDENT....

Now, he is trying out the DEM Party for a very high seat...The US Senate...without any experience....

The DEMOCRATIC PARTY was 3rd Pick for this guy.....He is not a true Dem in my eyes. He might even be a fake Dem as far as I'm concerned.

13. That Do sound kinda fishy?
I just had to deal with the very thing you're talking about just the other day. A dude named Robb who was a repub mayor here in WV switched over and ran as a democrat for the US house of representatives. It didn't work because the man came in third in a three man race! People don't trust Repigs or X repigs anymore...DO YOU BLAME THEM? I don't, and I never voted for the guy. Someone that was silly enough to have EVER voted for Bush, or anyone like him, is too stupid to govern. Look at all the other GOPers in congress who STILL put their crooked party ahead of their love for their country. Not a single repub in congress, will say a word to Bush, in defense of the country! Low life, wimpy, spying, COWARDS, every one!

I have trouble even supporting a DLC democrat! If they agree with republicans, they don't agree with me.

14. For the Wannabe's to run for elective office: what Party? what
Party should I run in?

Presently, the Pubs have made it hard for themselves....they have revealed too much about their greed/selfishness/and lack of concern for the Masses.

For a better chance, The choice is reduced to 2, Democratic or Independent/Green/Obscure

Many Closet Pubs will choose to run as a DEM cause the odds are higher for success...and if they don't get elected, they have a chance to muddy the waters and weaken a true DEM in primaries...giving the Pub opponent better odds come the General election. Kinda Roveseque? could be...

I'm not saying Carl is a closet Pub...but look at his record here on the DU...He evades questions, has weak ideas for solutions, and misspells alot. Poor grammer for a candidate is one thing. Poor Grammer for a PhD is another.

Paininthearse asked him a question...still no answer.

I rest my case...
