Kos: “[Rick Noriega] is the sole true people-powered 2008 Senate effort”
Kos blogged today on Rick Noriega:
The Texas netroots is launching their effort on behalf of Rick Noriega — an ambitious effort that will be easily the most difficult challenge tackled by the netroots to date. They’re launching with an effort to garner 800 contributors to their ActBlue page for Noriega. I’m in.
As things currently stand, this is the sole true people-powered 2008 Senate effort. Others may arise, and it doesn’t mean some of the existing candidates don’t rock, but a people-powered candidate, by definition, is someone who couldn’t run (because of a lack of name recognition and/or ties to big political money sources) without mass popular support, and is generating that mass popular support.
Rick Noriega promises to be an exciting candidate in a part of the country that hasn’t had many Democrats to cheer for in a long time.
