The drumbeat grows louder.

From the Chuck Pennacchio blog:

From John Nichols, writing in The Nation about the growing resistance to Pro-War Democrats:

Ignoring calls for party loyalty, three county Democratic parties in Pennsylvania have refused to back the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee's favored candidate, Bob Casey, Jr., over progressive Chuck Pennacchio.

And it appears we're not alone. Pro-war Democrats across the country, from Lieberman and Clinton in the east to Maria Cantwell and Jane Harman in the west are facing progressive challenges. Harman, a Blue Dog Congresswoman from California, is up against Marcy Winograd, who describes her contest with Harman as "an iconic struggle that asks, Who does the Democratic Party represent -- grassroots Democrats of the Bush Administration?" Good question.
