Darcy Burner is tan, rested and ready and resuming her perennial campaign for Congress.
Check out her two new campaign videos.
The first was recorded in the car on her road trip to Wenatchee.
The second was recorded in the car on the way to the Kingston ferry terminal.
Maybe one of these days she'll campaign in her own district.
Yet another reason to leave....hurry up and sell before the housing market drops another 8 percent...

Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on April 25, 2007 11:02 AMIf this is all the Dems have to throw at the 8th this time, Reichert must be chuckling.
I'd like to see her driving around the Microsoft campus in Redmond and talk about how she used to be an "executive" of the company.
I don't think it's too wild of a prediction to say that the "blue wave" that hit the normally conservative Eastside districts last year is going to be pushed back across Lake Washington in 2008 due to what Eric Oemig has done in this legislative session.
Burner's anti-war, evil Bush screeching isn't going to carry her far in the next election, due to the Bush exodus. If she continues to harp along those lines, she's going to be associated with the loons like Oemig, and she will suffer in the polls because of it.
Posted by: Smoley on April 25, 2007 11:17 AMYeah, at that point everyone will be more than happy to be rid of him and Reichert too since he really doesn't have any influence anymore due to the GOP blowing the 2006 elections.
So what exactly is this woman campaigning on, besides the idea that people who have no previous experience with politics should become involved in it? (I've noticed that this is a recurring theme with Democrats, this urge to recruit new voters -- what's the matter, can't convince people who have been around the block a couple times to vote for you? Why IS that, do you suppose?)
Maybe one of these days she'll campaign while not under the influence of controlled substances -- geez, was it just me, or did she come across as suspiciously mellow, giddy, and just a bit "out of it" all at the same time?
Oh, nice, big, Earth-destroying SUV she's got, BTW =)

"I just love that there's a link for a website called "horsesass.org" in a Congressional candidate's video. That was a nice touch of class there."
I noticed that too.
Perhaps some choice posts from KLOWNsteins den of fools (aka LEFTIST PINHEADED KLOWNS) to show voters her "affinity" for wretched, foul-mouthed Bloggers.
Nothing against EZ's, but Dusty's four meat/four cheeser is a must anytime one stops in Wenatchee. Best. Burger. Ever.

...or perhaps she's initiating a canonization drive as patron saint of irrelevant causes...
FWIW, murray has actually won multiple elections, much to this state's discredit. Shooting for, but falling short of the mark, in emulating the dimmest bulb in the Senate is beyond pathetic.
Posted by: scott158 on April 25, 2007 01:14 PMWhy do you think she's driving around? She's trying to find it!
I don't know how many trees she killed last election with the number of flyers slamming Reichert, but it was A LOT. I used them as kindling =)
Posted by: Palouse on April 25, 2007 01:34 PMThe Dems like to say just get involved. Is it because they know that if you plea for people to "just get involved" and not educate them or let them research on their own that they will react emotionally (like dems do) and not think it trhough and act logically and with purpose (like reps do)?
As far as an update, the Ames Lake Community Club ( that esteemed institution ) held it's annual meeting and food handout to the few attendees on Sunday. A new "board of directors" was "elected" - NOT. I am happy and relieved to report that Darcy Burner has no involvement in our neighborhood for this year, other than being one of 1400 residents of the area. Several months ago, she did send out an email voicing an opinion on our failed school levy, which was in turn, corrected by some more informed neighbors. If anyone cares to see this, respond in this thread, and I'll post on the Public Blog.
The Seattle Weekly has a story out today on Burner at :
http://www.seattleweekly.com/2007-04-25/news/burner-wastes-no-time-going-back-after-reichert-s-seat.php
They have a very funny caption under a photo of her, and mention her campaigning in Uptown Espresso. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think there is an Uptown Espresso in the 8th District.
Anyway, I'm still here, watching. Will contribute when and if relevant.
Posted by: ameslaker on April 25, 2007 02:43 PMAs a neighbor in the School District, I would be very interested in seeing Ms. Burners musings on the topic. Please post them here for review...this should be interesting. I have never seen her at any school board meetings, boundary review meetings, fundraisers, working groups, volunteer boards. But I am sure that will not keep her from having an opinion.
Posted by: Huh? on April 25, 2007 03:36 PMAhh man, not another Darcy candidacy. What about Ventrella or Hunter? They've got to be able to do better -- but considering the other mediocre elected's the Dems have to their credit, it doesn't surprise me this is the BEST they can put up.
I don't care what Darcy does, she'll never overcome this BRILLIANT AD that even today (esp. considering Darcy's YouTube "dear diary drivel") rings true.
Posted by: Patrick on April 25, 2007 05:22 PMIn this day and age, we know politicans care little about their constituents. The last thing the 8th district needs is a "Hate Bush" style schmoozer candidate that name-drops key National Democrats. Darcy is more concerned with her clout amongst Democrat movers and shakers than she is about her district, or even as AmesLaker summarizes, about her own neighborhood.

All across this country?!? So what was she running for in '06? I thought she was trying to unseat Reichert. Apparently, she thought she was running against Bush.
This woman is such a lying boob (no pun intended). I'm just really at a loss as to how she managed to give Reichert a run.
Sheesh.
In other words, the perfect liberal "woman" {snicker} for the stylized and neutered metrosexual femi-men.
