Looks like this is the only thing [...] Top Two Primary System is Flawed Citing a desire to not “thin the field of Democrats” in the primary, Deb Wallace withdrew from the 3rd district race to replace Rep. Brian Baird. This is yet another example of why the “top two” primary system is undermining the electoral process. If we did not have political parties, the top two primary would make sense. It would [...] Meet Craig Pridemore Take a look at his voting record. Craig Pridemore Follow Craig and his Congressional campaign on Facebook here and here. You can donate to his campaign here and here. I just did. We need more people like Craig who delivers what he promises and who will stand up for us in [...] Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) has been less than a quiet first term Congressman, to say the least. He shook up the MSM when he stood on the House floor and called Republicans out on Healthcare Reform, wherein he said, “the Republican healthcare plan is: Don’t get sick. They also have a backup plan: If you do get sick, die quickly. This was quite an introduction [...] Image of Craig Pridemore For those of you on Facebook, there is a Facebook group for those supporting Senator Craig Pridemore for the 3rd District US House of Representatives seat.
