Have you gotten your personal call from Andrei asking for funds even tho you don't live in the great Az Congressional District of 9? Have you received your letter from Terry Goddard supporting him and lambasting Kyrsten Sinema? Or have you received anonymous emails questioning Dave Shapira's qualifications to hold a congressional office?
Well, I have, and for what it is worth, here is what I think: When I was running as a candidate for the House in 2010 both Kyrsten Sinema and Dave Shapira were there most months working at Dem Headquarters and helping us with running our campaigns, bringing sharper focus our messaging, and generally being accessible. They were there for us and for the party.
Yes, I know Andrei was State Democratic Party Chair, but unlike with Bill Roe or even Don Bivens, I never ran into Andrei; he just wasn't that visible.
But, that is not my current beef. I periodically go over to the Daily Kos and see what is up in Liberal Land. And if you do and put in Andrei Cherny in the search bar, eureka, this is what comes out:
Poke around on some of the links in the post of the Daily KOS, particularly the YouTube video of Andrei's views on ACA (Obama Care) and other issues like immigration.
Makes you wonder "who exactly is Andrei Cherny?"
Even before he was State party chair, and certainly during his tenure, Andrei was at tons of party functions and events. And if you didn't see him around party headquarters in 2010, that's because he was running a statewide campaign. The other 2 candidates have been calling lots of donors outside the district and one of them rarely has events in the district. And neither of them has responded to Andrei's call for a clean campaign--instead attacking him (in fact, the email you brought up regarding Terry Goddard's "attack" of Krysten Sinema is actually in response to a baseless attack against Andre from her campaign. I am still undecided in this primary, but the more of these misleading blog posts I read about Andre, the more my vote goes to him. Do your homework, be responsible, and don't rely on anonymous completely misleading posts on Daily Kos.
