Delaware Liberal

Delaware Liberal Endorsements – Part 4

United States House of Representative:

Jerry Northington is a principled opponent of the Iraq War and desires to tackle poverty. He has thought out the issues facing us and speaks fluently and in detail on how he would help to address these issues in Congress. Since fundraising and basic campaign performance up to this point indicates that neither of the three candidates has any chance to beat Castle, we prefer to reward Jerry with our support rather than Karen Hartley Nagle or Mike Miller.  Indeed, if either Karen or Mike had used the primary season to lay a glove on Mike Castle this might have been a more difficult decision to make. As it stands, there is no need to pick between heart and hustle in this contest.    

Finally, Jerry is a longtime friend of the netroots and the blogosphere (although we note that none of the candidates took advantage of or tried to energize the local netroots which is puzzling). He is known as “Possum” on Daily Kos. He heeded the call to action to have progressive candidates run in primaries across this land so that we can slowly retake our party from those who are afraid to be Democrats in the first place, and from those who have voted for the war and with the Bush Administration. We must reward such personal dedication. Delaware Liberal endorses Jerry Northington.
