AKAKA KICKS SOME RIGHT WING ASS

Earlier today I talked about what a dipshit excuse for a Democrat the DCCC's Baron Hill (IN-09) is, a follow-up to a similar piece on another right-wing quasi-Democratic challenger, Mike Weaver. Another reactionary Democrat, Ed Case, who has a disgraceful record of coziness with big bribing corporations-- and in support for the Bush agenda-- was soundly defeated by progressive incumbent Daniel Akaka, 55-45%.

Case closed? Probably not. Cousin of right wing religionist nutcase/robber baron Steve Case (who founded and later gigantically ripped off AOL), Ed Case has every intention of running again, probably for the seat of octogenarian Daniel Inouye. Hopefully, he'll be beaten again, as the Democratic Party grapples with its soul and figures out it's the party of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and Paul Wellstone, not the party of Al From and Joe Lieberman.
