House Democratic Caucus chairman Brian Moran will establish a new PAC Friday, according to this AP story. Moran will not officially announce his run for governor until after the General Assembly session is over.
So it seems were headed for an expensive primary, one I had hoped could be avoided. The Republicans are already gleefully rubbing their hands as the prospect of a Democratic primary, the first in quite some time.
The Republicans are quite proud of Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.” Democrats should adopt a similar philosophy. It is one thing to compare and contrast the candidates’ positions; quite another to attack them personally, as I have already seen some people do.
As for me – well, I said earlier that I wouldn’t be announcing my choice for governor until later. Today’s announcement changes that a bit. Just as I said in my presidential choice post, I will ultimately support the Democratic nominee. But for now, I’m supporting the man whose views line up closely to my own. For me, that’s Brian Moran.

I hear A-rod also released a statement through his agent in the middle of the Iowa caucus’ seventh inning stretch that he’s decided not to extend his contract with the New York Yankees and will instead seek a better offer from another ball club. Nice to see him finally declare and all, but lousy timing.

Posted by Tina | Friday, January 4, 2008, 6:17 pmI believe Mr.Kirwin is attempting to make a bad Jim Moran joke, but doesn’t seem to realize that the Morans are brothers. Thus, he once again looks both foolish *and* unfunny. As usual.
Here’s a joke for you, Brian:
“For 16 days Bearing Drift has been silent about negative campaigning by Mitt Romney”
Get it?
