named Donna Edwards, a single mother who overcame struggles to become a lawyer. Edwards is an anti-war Democrat who nearly toppled longtime entrenched and corrupt DINO (Democrat in name only) Al Wynn in District 4 two years ago.
She's been one of the stars of the Act Blue campaign to elect more and better Democrats, "primary" the bad ones out of office. Yay, netroots, who raised more than half the approximate $400,000 she got for her campaign.
On Tuesday, she beat Wynn in the primary, 55 to 39 percent, despite the fact that Wynn got a sudden influx of $150,000 in so-called "walking-around money" from his corporate buddies the day before the primary. Walking around money is used to pay off your helpers in the district.
I gave Donna $25 a couple months ago, and I'm proud of that. It's a Democratic district, she's not likely to need any extraordinary help to win the general in November.
