Hal Bidlack, after devoting a career to our national defense, took a year out to run for Congress because he wanted to help the nation get back on course.   OK, he lost that race.  But he didn't stop wanting to contribute all he could.

But what has he been up to lately ?  From page A1 of the New York edition for 4 November of the New York Times:

He is pitching in, doing some of the plodding grunt work to make Iraq safe again for Iraqis.  

Props, Hal.

In CD-5 (and CD-6) we have a thankless job for a volunteer. Run as the Democratic candidate in an almost impossible district. Oh, and we want someone who is professional, polished, competent, thoughtful, and has 6 months to devote full time to this quest. In return you will get dragged through the mud and called every dirty name in the book. What a deal.

To me it's surprising that we get anyone to do this. It's simply amazing that we get someone who is, by every measure, a really good candidate that we can be proud of to have represent the Democratic party. Hal Bidlack is a really good candidate. And candidates like Hal are one of the key means by which we implement the 50 state strategy.
