 There are days when I regret the fact I have a rule I (almost) never violate. I never check the home e-mail account when I’m at work, and I never check the work e-mail account when I’m at home.
Today is a day I should have been checking the home e-mail. For one, I caused a panic among some Greens with my incorrect post about John Eder. I think they are hanging me in effigy tonight for that one. The other reason I wished I would have checked is Kevin Zeese was kind enough to e-mail me with a scoop.
That was this morning. Now, I think I’m the last person in America to report it. Kevin Zeese has launched an exploratory committee to consider a run for the U.S. Senate seat in Maryland.
Zeese is planning on running a united third party campaign, bringing together people from the Green, Populist and Libertarian parties to oppose the candidates from the two corporate parties.
Zeese is a 1980 graduate of George Washington University Law School. In addition to his anti-war work at Democracy Rising, Zeese is President of the election reform organization, Vote Trust USA ( www.VoteTrustUSA.org) and a co-founder of TrueVoteMD.org. He is also President of Common Sense for Drug Policy ( www.csdp.org) and a co-founder of the Treatment Not Incarceration Coalition in Maryland ( www.TreatNotJail.org). Zeese served as press secretary for Ralph Nader in the 2004 presidential campaign. This Saturday he will be hosting a “Downing Street Party” as part of his work in the After Downing Street Coalition of which he is a co-founder. (Details on www.kevinzeese.com.) The Exploratory Committee website includes a more detailed biography and many of his published articles.
The Republican candidate is expected to be Lt. Gov. Michael Steele. The Democrats, surprisingly enough, are in disarray. U.S. Rep. Benjamin Cardin will probably come away with the nomination.
