I believe the average person who sees that headline will think it is a dumb idea. Whomever came up with it is already giving this guy bad advice.I like the idea of new young guns coming in and trying to get rid of these career politicians. Heck, currently I think I'm a big fan of one of those in the 6th. But headlines like the O'Brien is trying to get does not win me over. Party Chair,

We need another “Symbolic” move like we need Bush back in office. I believe the average person who sees that headline will think it is a dumb idea. Whomever came up with it is already giving this guy bad advice.

I like the idea of new young guns coming in and trying to get rid of these career politicians. Heck, currently I think I’m a big fan of one of those in the 6th. But headlines like the O’Brien is trying to get does not win me over.

Until we see Corey with significant money in the bank or legitimate polling showing him beating Kanjo in the primary there is zero reason to think he has a snowball's chance in he'll of winning.However, winning in 2010 may not be Corey's goal. He may be looking to raise his 11th district name ID in an effort to set up a run when Kanjo retires. Corey will get out fundraised and will lose–nobody with half a brain should disagree with that.

It's symbolic. Paul Kanjorski hasn't been door-to-door in a primary campaign since 1986. He hasn't visited the people that matter. Average working people and that's why he's going to lose. He has never faced a fight from his own party and has been able to move to the right on issues like immigration, choice, labor, etc...and the netroots are going to make him pay for it.

He's taking a page from the 2008 Dem playbook that sought to raise questions about McCain's age.
