Politics John Dougherty: "I'll be Back"
Posted by Mari Herreras on Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 10:50 PM
When John Dougherty walked into Hotel Congress tonight it was like Paris Hilton walked into your brother's eighth grade gym class - he was the Dem celebrity.
After pushing through the crowd to get to the podium, he said, "We're going to be around for more races in the future."
He said he'd consider running for U.S. Congress, as well as another turn for U.S. Senate.
"For too long folks we've been ignored ... money has been stolen from the middle class."
Then the Hotel Congress sea parted, and Dougherty tried to make his way to the lobby. Elvis, er, Paris, has left the gym.

Great job with getting out the votes! You had this one from Northern Arizona; would have paid to see you debate John McCain on our economy today as Arizona needs a good round of critical thinking. Please run again and put a link on your website for general questions in the future!

It was a great honor and a pleasure working with and for John. I wish Randy Parraz had thrown his support behind John. Together they would have had an unbeatable coalition. This go-it-alone stuff is more in keeping with rich Republicans. We need to come together to win these tough fights. Next time!...
