The Randy “Duke Stir” Cunningham saga will eventually come to an end. A happy ending script would have a Democrat taking that seat. Yes, the 50th Congressional District is a very Red-Leaning District. And the person to do that just might be Francine Busby.
I had the chance to meet Ms. Busby while I was in San Diego last week. She happened to be dining at the same local bakery (Bread and Cie in Hillcrest…fantastic muffins) and I introduced myself before we headed off to the beach. She was terrific, and was very excited about bloggers.
The flip is nigh…
In the coming weeks as we go live, I will be hitting the Duke Stir story hard. And in the course of that, I think the promotion of a Democrat for the seat will be vital. I look forward to working with her campaign, and any other local campaign.
This blog is as much for community organizing as for anything else. I want progressives in San Francisco and Sacramento to know about that San Diego race. And vice versa. This is an excellent opportunity to encourage the best candidates to organize throughout the state.
So, good luck Ms. Busby, and hopefully we will be seeing a lot more of you in the future.
