Congresswoman Tubbs Jones' November ballot spot filled

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

Warrensville Heights Mayor Marcia Fudge, mentored in politics by the late U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, grabbed the inside track Thursday night to take over her seat.

Fudge won a landslide victory in a vote by Cuyahoga County Democratic Party officials to replace Tubbs Jones as the party's nominee on the Nov. 4 ballot for the 11th Congressional District.

The heavily Democratic district covers much of Cleveland's East Side and many eastern suburbs.

Fudge, 55, said she hoped the vote showed unity and consensus within the party as she heads toward the general election.

"I always said I wanted to find someone who is a consensus candidate, and I believe I'm that candidate," she said as she was mobbed by media and supporters after the vote at Euclid High School. - Plain Dealer

The next step will be on October 14th when a special election will be held to fill Tubbs Jones' seat through January.

If the American People are willing to allow the slandering and lies of the McSame camp to
continue without any retribution they would have just handed the Republicans a strategy that
will NEVER be ignored ...

Think about it ... If McSame wins this election without producing any substantial ads about
his policies and just goes on making up libel about his opponent and other issues that have
nothing to do with our current situation as a Nation in Need, WHAT is to stop the GOP from
using these same tactics in FUTURE elections ... ?

If we the American population cause enough uproar about these Tactics, we will be doing
ourselves a favor because as Sen. Obama said, this election IS about US. This is No American
Idol contest where the winner goes on to BENEFIT from winning. If Obama loses he goes back to
the Senate. If McSame loses he goes back to his 7 houses. If the American Population lose we go
back to a guaranteed 8-16 years of GOP Policies that have been proven to be a FAILURE ...

It is time for the People who have the most to lose in the Election to stand up say we NEED
more Intelligent discourse in our Election Process ... It is time for us to show that we the
American People indeed CARE about our country and are willing to disregard ALL the libel being
perpetuated from the McSame camp and VOTE for the policies we see BEST to Improve the Condition
of Our Country ...

It is time to VOTE for REAL CHANGE ...

Democrats '08 ...
