Progressive Caucus Stuff

[Peter]

I will shortly be opening the Progressive Caucus endorsement poll for all the Senate races and other elections for next weekend. This vote opens immediately and closes at midnight Tuesday/Wednesday. Voting in this thread.

Given recent changes, I am also going to issue new advice (see this post for previous advice):

In the District 5 Special election, I recommend the endorsement of DanielX for the reasons I had previously stated.

In the District 4 race, I have given more consideration, and I stand by my original recommendation of John Dibble. I would however stress that I also support Ebowed highly, but I find the "No Abortion whatsoever" position to be too strong for me to recommend him over Dibble.

Whilst his ideological insanity is not that of neo-Conservatism,

Explain?

The quote if I remember my own speech correctly is a reference to PBrunsel. I do not find PBrunsel's particular brand of ideology as insane as neoconservatism. Quite how you categorise PBrunsel is not an easy task: He certainly bears some hallmarks of the Religious Right, but he is also much more economically conservative than most in that camp. If I knew more about Herbert Hoover, I would probably say that PBrunsel was a Hoover Republican, but I don't really know.

I know the context, but it makes no sense that you (or any other progressive) would say that PBrunsel's ideology is more offensive than mine.

My reasons are my own, whether others hold them, I don't know.

And what reason's are those?
