FRANCINE BUSBY-- A GREAT BET TO REPLACE TOM DELAY'S FUTURE CELL-MATE, RANDY "DUKE" CUNNINGHAM

>

Last Friday I introduced to two names, and, coincidentally... or maybe inevitably, they came together this evening. First was Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate who may be able to capture the "red" congressional seat "Duke" Cunningham will be resigning from in the next few weeks --after he gets indicted (see "GRASSROOTS, NON-DLC DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS IN '06"). And the other is my old bud, Rick-- see "FABIAN NUNEZ-- THE REAL DEAL." Rick had hosted the shindig for California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez at his home, and tonight he invited me to meet Francine Busby at a small get-together in B Hills.

You may recall that last week I thought Francine's statement for Democracy For America was outstanding and made me eager to write her a check. Rick's invite saved me the postage. And in person Francine was even better than the statement! Even though she's not an Iraq War vet, she comes across as a perfect candidate for the Democratic Party-- passionate, intelligent, well-spoken, VERY knowledgeable, great sense of humor... and she positively EXUDES "winner." You can check out her state of the art website at http://www.francinebusby2006.org/

If Howard Dean and the DNC and the DCCC, all of whom are backing her race, find more candidates of Busby's calibre, the Democrats will be looking at a major take-over of the House of Representatives in November, 2006. This is a race I'll be covering here at Down With Tyranny as events unfold.
