Howard Dean Supporting More LosersJust got an email from Democracy for America. Their "first DFA Grassroots All Star" is John Courage. Great name; Dan Rather used to endorse the guy at the end of every broadcast. But unfortunately for Mr C, he's running for Congress in Texas District 21, which
appears to stretch from Austin to San Antonio. The current incumbent is Republican Lamar Smith, who won
election in 2004 by a 61.5-35.5 margin over his Democrat opponent. With a 26 percentage point margin, Congressman Smith appears to have a reasonaby safe seat. As is typical of the DFA-types, they are more interested in finding candidates who are compatible with their left-wing agenda than candidates who actually have a chance of winning.
