One of the hottest House races of the cycle next year promises to be in Connecticut’s 4th District, where Democrat Jim Himes is waging a progressive campaign to smoke out Republican Chris Shays from his Congressional hole.
If you like what you’ve seen from Himes, or if you’d like to learn more about him, please mark the date of Saturday, September 29 on your calendar. The Swing State Project will be co-hosting a blograiser and pub quiz for Himes in Stamford, CT (all the details can be found in Melissa Ryan’s diary here). Other local blogging luminaries from My Left Nutmeg, CT Local Politics, Spazeboy, and Connecticut Bob will also be co-hosting the event.
The suggested donation is a modest $25, and I have no doubt that it will be well worth the price of admission. The Swing State Project, led by people-powered prophet DavidNYC, will be fielding a full team for the pub quiz, and we intend to take no prisoners. If you’re brave enough to challenge us, and want to gauge your cranial repository for its supply of dusty political trivia, I encourage you to join one of the other blogs’ teams (or form an impromptu one at the event). They’ll need all the help they can get.
So read all the details, drop a donation to Jim Himes, and RSVP here. Pizza, beer, and progressive Democratic politics. I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend a Saturday night.
Of holy and mighty Pub Quizzers, I prophecy doom and despair for all others who might challenge us! But I prophecy even greater doom for those who do not even try!
