It&#8217;s very late in the day, and I&#8217;ve only recently gotten around to researching any of these candidates.  That said, if you haven&#8217;t voted yet, and you&#8217;re interested in a pseudo-informed opinion, here&#8217;s who I&#8217;m going for this round.

I&#8217;ve been getting progressively more worked up each day the last few weeks and it finally spilled over into this letter I just wrote to my congresswoman and senators.
On consideration, I think the analogies here (trite as they seem) are worth sharing precisely because they are so very obvious and applicable.  At any rate, [...]]]></description>

Dear editors,
Most Americans understand now that health care reform is necessary.  Most of us, eighty percent according to some polls, support a public option.  The economic analysis and historical precedents have been examined; nobody proposes we go where angels fear to tread.  No death panels, and no debt inflation.  The public [...]]]></description>

Dear Senator Durbin,
I am a Michigan transplant who has been living and voting in Chicago for the better part of the last ten years.

At the end of the day, this is a great city, and it is events like these that make cities great.  In the late 1800s Chicago suffered a devastating fire that tore it to its foundations, and less than twenty years later, it dreamed up the skyscraper, gave the lake to the public, and [...]]]></description>

My renewal of support.
Dear Ms. Schakowsky, 
In the last election I voted against you because I didn&#8217;t think you had taken as strenuous a stand against funding the war in Iraq as I thought was possible, given the level of support (and strong, progressive support) you&#8217;ve enjoyed here in Chicago. I was also disappointed by [...]]]></description>

New York Times: Health Plan Opponents Make Voices Heard.
This is one thing that the new (meaning post-1994) generation of conservatives have excelled at; compensating for numbers with virulence.  I&#8217;m nont saying that progressives should strive for such shrillness, but we should at least be emphatic.  I&#8217;ll be looking for evidence that Americans in [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m really annoyed at myself for not having covered this more in the past several weeks.
Here&#8217;s an astute argument from Uwe Reinhardt:
A &#8216;Common Sense&#8217; American Health Reform Plan.
And here&#8217;s an unabashedly emotional appeal from Jeff Danziger:

Almost to the end.  
I&#8217;m allowing myself a closing argument.
Flint has been in decline since before I was born, and very soon almost the entirety of its residents will only remember the city&#8217;s downfall.  In the last fifty years, the population has halved, and Flint has gone from an expansionist vision of a [...]]]></description>
