Rahm Emanuel: “A spoonful of sugar…”
At this time, my only interest in this post and its link is the involvement of Rep. Rahm Emanuel in vetting potential Democratic candidates to run for congress. I will ‘splain my understanding of the situation as best I can.
The Democratic Campaign has told us part of our financial contributions will go to support “down ticket races”. Rep. Emanuel is in charge of vetting the new “Down race candidates” and making recommendations to the campaign. Aside from the fact I have said, perhaps publicly, that I think Rep. Emanuel chooses Black candidates with certain physical and rhetorical characteristic and his lack of Black choices for Senate nominees is curious. Skimping on money also comes to mind.
If memory serves me correctly, prior to the ‘06 elections, there was some mumbling regarding Rahm’s choosing nominees who were clearly pro-war and in particular, not choosing a female quadriplegic candidate. That may have been “sour grapes” rhetoric from the quadriplegic’s campaign. I do not know if it was or not but the information was out there she was not pro-war. There was a personal identification I had with her eventhough I did not hear her make a speech.
I understand Mr. Emanuel has a duel citizenship with Israel which means a connection with the powerful lobby APAC which may in turn influence his vetting processes. I did not read the entire article “N Case you are tired of hearing….” but Rhan Emanuel’s name was mentioned kind of sarcastically so I just thought I would get these little black feet o’ mine a’runnin and tellin’ what I ‘member ‘bout him.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

N CASE YOU'RE SICK OF HEARING WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE DCCC FROM ME, LET'S GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A TURN: MEET STEVE HARRISON
Excerpt:
Yesterday the DCCC released the third round of their Red to Blue candidates and there were some really excellent choices like Joe Garcia (FL-25), Martin Heinrich (NM-01), Bob Lord (AZ-03), and Glenn Nye (VA-02). There were also some natural choices, people who have finished their primaries and are now candidates who have met the ever-shifting and mysterious, ill-defined DCCC benchmarks. But then there are also some extremely bad-faith decisions.
