Joe Nation jumps into state Senate race

Former Marin Assemblyman Joe Nation made it official Saturday morning, announcing he's challenging state Sen.

I'm glad Joe Nation has decided to "throw his hat into the ring." This could be a huge victory for both the North Bay and California. Again, Joe takes on the status quo.

Glad to hear that Joe Nation is jumping into the race. Joe is the type of liberal Demo we need, not the old angry tactics of the past we get from Migden and Leno. Just as Obama is creating a new approach to politics, so too will Joe. I hope my fellow Democrats will give him a good look.

I'm glad that Joe is jumping in the race. Let's hope that he loses handily and becomes politically inviable. I still remember his campaign signs: "This Nation's a jerk!"

GOOD LUCK !

Gawd! Joe is so hot and always says the right thing. Oh how I love him so very, very, very much. I can't wait until he gets elected and we can do... uh... stuff.

Howdy Frisco!
Greetings from the Lone Star State, birthplace of your greatest cowboy politician since Ronald Regan: Joe the Loper. He never runs, just lopes. He has issues with the climate and he's a rootin'-tootin' carbon monger. He's loping because he needs a job where the state gives him a Land Cruiser and a lot of perks that, in his mind, will make him your better.
His recent contest against Woolsey had all the excitement of a day at the petting zoo. Old Joe loped out and said all his magic words: "carbon expert" and "Stanford" and "experienced" (he refused to sign a letter against the war in Iraq.) And he's loping for health care, too. He voted down the state's last healthcare bill because he didn't like some of the words in it. To pick out words we don't like, we must never run but lope.
Woolsey spanked The Loper. Now his bottom is red and he can't sit down. So he lopes in hopes that someone might think he knows what he's doing. But he doesn't. He just doesn't want to get a real job unless he really has to. Anybody can understand that. Don't you think?

Me too. But I'm sad that he got mad at Marin County and moved to Sonoma just because he was the loser

I've taken a second look and it would be better to elect Migden. At least she has experience in the community and people know her, or Leno, who is also more familiar with the community. Come to think of it, I don't know what the failed Nation would tell the district. Don't pollute?

[Lars Roberts the Castro]

If Nation is to represent all of the district, San Francisco, as well as Marin; wheres's the interest in gay rights going to go? Nation has no record whatsoever of inititiative
that would show him to be interested
in continuing to make
gay rights a legislative priority.

[Concerned]

Take your hat back out of the ring.
