Darcy Burner continues to pick up steam
Following George W. Bush's recent visit to the Evergreen State (on Karl Rove's orders) to raise megabucks for incumbent Republican Dave Reichert, the Darcy Burner campaign, which is working to topple Reichert in November, is pressing ahead at blazing speed.
Darcy was recently featured at an event put on by the House Democratic leadership, and has received support from Senator John Kerry. Last Friday, the campaign announced it had surpassed its goal of $75,000 raised in just a couple of short weeks, to offset the Bush fundraiser.
And today, Darcy was added to the sidebar on Daily Kos along with other select candidates who are also "Netroots Endorsed". Additionally, Markos made this announcement:
A reception is being held tomorrow for Darcy in Renton by the King County Democrats. If you can make it, be sure to come! I'm planning on going on behalf of NPI and I hope to see you there.

The Netroots ActBlue page, maintained by MyDD, Swing State Project, and Daily Kos, has added a bunch of new candidates in the past few weeks (while I was distracted by the end of the book tour and YearlyKos), and is about to grow by four candidates today.We of course are looking forward to seeing Darcy featured on the DailyKos front page. While the traditional media pundits are wrong that Markos is some sort of gatekeeper or blogger king, he and his fine guest bloggers do decide what goes on the front page - and DailyKos is the world's most popular progressive community.
The recent candidates are Darcy Burner in WA-08 and Patrick Murphy in PA-08. I'll write more about them soon.
