Netroots 1, BushDogs 0

BlueAmerica and BlogPac were going to run this hard-hitting newspaper ad against Bush Dog Baron Hill (D-IN) because he voted with Bush on SCHIP.

But guess what? After a few days of hard-hitting robocalls to voters in Hill's district, Hill cried uncle.

Matt Stoller nails it:

Pressure, real pressure, works.  Hill felt it.  And now Jim Marshall, in Georgia's eighth district, is feeling it.  The Georgia blogs are aflame; at Tondee's Tavern, they are pointing out that Marshall has earned the primary challenge(s) he's getting.

From the betrayal of Lamont to the FISA capitulation (and upcoming FISA capitulation) to the failure to move net neutrality or end the war, Democratic leaders and Bush Dog Democrats have created a toxic relationship with activists, one full of bad faith, mistrust, and outright dishonest condescension.  Now we're saying enough.

We sure are!
