Despite Re-Tweet by Alyssa Milano, Mickey Kaus Still Senate ‘Long Shot’

Posted on | May 17, 2010 | 8 Comments

Ever since Alyssa re-Tweeted him Oct. 28, Mickey Kaus has been the envy of bloggers everywhere (or at least, bloggers around here). However, that kind of New Media energy — dude, she’s got more than 830,000 followers — has not yet developed into an electoral tsunami:

In a year when Tea Party activists and the GOP are getting a lot of attention, self-described “common sense Democrat” Mickey Kaus is stirring up a little party of his own – challenging U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer in the Democratic primary over illegal immigration and public employee unions’ pensions.
“It’s clear that the unions own the Democratic party – and it’s going to be a disaster unless that changes,” says Kaus, 58 . . .
“Do the vast majority of Californians want to do away with the secret ballot in union elections? No,” he said. “And the huge number of voters here don’t want immediate amnesty for undocumented immigrants – until the border is secure.”
Kaus’ campaign against Boxer, who has been called one of the Senate’s most liberal members, is a longshot in blue California. But his bid underscores challenges for California’s junior senator. . . .

If the Alyssa Milano re-Tweet wasn’t enough to catapult Kaus into front-runner status, perhaps he should ask Ladd Ehlinger Jr. to do him one of those super-cool campaign ads.

    I guess celebutards have to be protected from themselves. I say why censor them? We should know the depth of their idiocy.

    @Joe,
    It’s shocking to see you out yourself as Toni Basil, but the day is already shaping up to be weird, so, why not?
