Josh Segall Runs Against the Bailout

by: Matt Stoller

Sat Nov 01, 2008 at 23:23

Better Democrat Josh Segall is running against the bailout in a lean Republican Alabama district.

Bush Dog Artur Davis, nervous about the anti-bailout sentiment in Alabama, has criticized Segall for going strong against the measure. Meanwhile, even Barney Frank is now whining about how it's implemented, of course being remarkably dishonest the whole time. Bailout fail.

Goldman Sachs is taking billions from the Treasury and handing it out in bonuses, with a little extra thrown in for the partners for good luck. I guess we'll see how this plays out on Tuesday.

There was a right way to do this bailout. Naturally, our Congress fucked it up. Thanks guys!

Hmmm - Old School? (4.00 / 1)

I'd say Josh is running with his district. They called in to Mike Rogers' office 95 to 5 against the bailout. Refreshing to see that in a potential representative to want to represent the people. It's so old school!!

clsoing the gap (0.00 / 0)

recent polling in the district has Josh closing the gap to single digits.

republicans are abandoning Rogers left and right and breaking left.

josh is running one of the most organized GOTV efforts Alabama's ever had, but he needs more money to put on the streets!
