I'm blithely reading Daily Kos, and there's another post on a Congress race that's looking like it might be competitive for the Dems. Not unusual this year. Huh, that name rings a bell for some reason. Wait. Darcy Burner?

That'd be the same Darcy who I knew at Harvard; who filled the co-chair spot at HRSFA after I stepped down; and who was one of my four roomates at the House on the Borderlands back in whatever year that was. (And then I bumped into her again while I was working at Alexa, which is not a very interesting company unless you know that the non-profit side of Alexa was the Internet Archive before Alexa was bought by Amazon.) Well, cool. She's an awesome person and I have a huge amount of respect for her.

She's not in my district, but it's the district where I work (i.e. very close), and the race is getting a lot of press. Reichert is a first-term rep who doesn't have a strong hold on the seat. The district is historically moderate Republican, but has been drifting liberal; Reichert ran on a "I'm not going to vote the party line" platform, but has ended up basically voting the party line, so the thinking is that he won't hold on to all of his votes.

It's nice to hear that she's actually a good person (~= good candidate), rather than just better than the alternative.

Nifty. I wouldn't have recognized the name otherwise, due to the name change.

Go her!

For your information, she has now conceded. In case you'd not caught that, that is.
