Lubbock DFA: 2006 Sneak Peek: Barbara Ann Radnofsky for US Senate

Lubbock DFA: 2006 Sneak Peek: Barbara Ann Radnofsky for US Senate: "Earlier in the month many of us Lubbock Democrats had the opportunity to meet three of our states most promising candidates: Chris Bell, Barbara Ann Radnofsky, and the indomitable David Van Os. I've already talked up Bell, so now it's Barbara's turn.

The first thing you should know about her is that she has an excellent blog that she updates -- herself -- from the field (Blackberrys are indeed the politician's tool of choice). And I'm not just saying this because she did a good job of plugging Lubbock in her blog; this child of NASA scientists really is on top of the modern political zeitgeist.

You should also know that she's one hell of a speaker. (She has this in common with Bell and Van Os.) For example, her talking points on abortion are fantastic. Her goal: zero abortions, without taking away a woman's right to choose. How do we do this? Through education, healthcare, pre- and post- natal care, childrens' programs -- all the high-prioritiy issues that progressives share. It's brilliant how it all flows together. I am reminded that, as Democrats, we are not a divided party, but a party of strongly connected, socially responsible interests."
