Ed Case voted with Republicans on almost every single vote relating to taxes as a Congressman
- “You know, maybe he’s not so bad after all”

Shalala had a dispute with a union as president of a large university
- “She’s a literal demon”

They are both terrible. See, that wasn't hard.

I don’t think there’s merit to completely capitulating to unions. If you’re the leader of a large organization that has a highly unionized workforce, sometimes you have to draw a line & decide, no, we can’t increase wages anymore without having to cut spending on things like more faculty hidings or renovations.

I don’t think politics is a zero sum game where the two only choices are “will you say yes to anything a union asks for” or “unions shouldn’t exist at all”. There’s a middle ground, my ideology leans much closer to the former, but I definitely don’t think that anybody who ever said no to a union is a completely demon, because context matters.

Context: the janitors were asking for $8.55 an hour.

Context: this $2.15 raise amounts to $4,300 a year.

Context: for 200 janitors, the total annual cost to the school is around $900k.

Context: the University of Miami's renovation of their baseball field in 2007 cost $3.9 million.

Context: the University of Miami has an endowment of $3.2 billion.

Just be honest Jeppe, the reason you support Donna is the same reason you support Nixon, Pressley, Graham and Riamondo.

I mean, both are in at least the Top 5 worst Democratic candidates this cycle, yeah.

Sounds like a 70s European glam rock singer.

Wow, I had no idea Shalala was that awful. Really hope she goes down next Tuesday, we should never elect candidates solely for their gender.

I think the Miami Herald as jumped the shark. Rodriguez Aguilera isn't beating Shahala in the General...and that's if she wins the primary.

The two leading Republicans declined to meet with the Herald's editorial board. They chose Rodríguez Aguilera because she was the only vaguely credible candidate who was willing to take questions from the eboard.

Tomorrow I'm going to go vote for Matt Haggman. I can't stand Richardson and I like Shalala but she is just too connected to the past for my tastes :/

I would go with Richardson just to block Shalala, but it is your vote.

Must have got lost in the Gillum hysteria, but Donna Shalala narrowly won last night.

If elected, she'd be one the oldest people to enter congress for the first time? I can't say I'm too enthusiastic about a 77 year old Cabinet Member from the 90s running in a seat like this, but I don't think she'll be bad to lose this seat.
