#1 The denizens of the MSM are just blindly following precedent: Pravda didnt have to mention Stalins party affiliation every time they wrote about him, after all.

#2 Interesting to note that the Dems were going to throw him under the bus anyway.

From Democrats.com:
On 5/10/07, Rep. Allen Boyd betrayed the voters and troops of Florida's 2nd Congressional District by voting to continue George Bush's disastrous Iraq War forever.

Democrats.com is looking for an "aggressive progressive" Democrat who will challenge Boyd in a Democratic primary in 2008.

Read our Candidate Guide.

If you are interested in running against Boyd, or know a good candidate who could run against Boyd, post a comment below.

#3 As I understand it, Boyd's a blue dog and not one of Nancy's pets. Still, there is nothing in this story to hang on him. I hope his constituents vote on his merits and demerits and not his wayward son's. Sonny charged $15,000 to bring 5 people in. A motive may be the meth found in his pickup truck. We will see, as time goes by.

#4 The service probably included filling out voter registration cards for our new guests as well.

#5 He's a Comb-Over BlueDawg. His district includes Leon County (hai!) and 2 old black belt counties. He has to walk a delicate balance between TLH and Madison.

So... he's good on guns and peanut subsidies and votes for Nancy. Also sucks down a fair amount of farm dough his own self.

I trust the judgement of an old huntin' dawg like Hatfield more than that of some people I know.
