If a decent Green standard-bearer could be found to run in the congressional race, it would be a good way to ensure that voters have a progressive option in the general election.<br /><br />Perhaps Harman won't run, or will lose the primary in 2010. I wouldn't bet on it, though; corrupt politicians have a way of coming back again and again.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191765471206225563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497138.post-71785554113786499932009-04-20T10:45:00.000-07:002009-04-20T10:45:00.000-07:00Well, Harmon won this race in 2008 as follows:
Ja...Well, Harmon won this race in 2008 as follows: <br />Jane Harman DEM 171,948 Percent 68.7%<br />Brian Gibson REP 78,543 Percent 31.3%<br /><br />While the need is obvious, Greens have been singularly unsuccessful running Congressional races, especially in LA County where the Democratic Machine is very much in control.

Jane Harman, D-CA?<br /><br />http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/04/20/harman/<br /><br />Apparently Harman is a major pusher of police-state policies. The CA Greens should run someone against her in 2010.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191765471206225563noreply@blogger.com
