  1. Reshma Saujani Vs. Carolyn Maloney (New York, House, D)
  2. Alan Mollohan Vs. Mike Oliverio (West Virginia, House, D)
  3. Trey Greyson Vs. Rand Paul (Kentucky, Senate, R)
  4. Blanche Lincoln Vs. Bill Halter (Arkansas, Senate, D)
  5. John McCain Vs. JD Hayworth (Arizona, Senate, R)

Reshma Saujani is the top political news in America this election season. 2010 is to Reshma what 2004 was to Barack Obama. She has not reached that mainstream imagination yet, but consider yourself lucky if you know her already, either in person or in name.

It is amazing she topped this poll in May when the list includes also Senate races including the Senate race of the guy who I think just ran for president not long ago.

This list includes all races for both the House and the Senate and Reshma is top of the list. This is Reshma's year. And if Barack Obama recognizes that fact, he gets to keep the House in November. I say starting from September 15 just completely take over her schedule. Call her up and say, Reshma you are coming with me, you are crisscrossing this country with me. Last I checked I was still leader of the party.

Reshma Saujani Is The Second Stimulus Bill This Country Needs

"Thousands gather at the Subtreasury Buil...Image via WikipediaNew York politicians in Congress who have raised gobs of money over the years from Wall Street have not known how to do the nuance thing. They have not known the difference between enacting Wall Street reform, which has been necessary, and refusing to demonize Wall Street. The Wall Street reform bill they have passed is weak, and their demonization of Wall Street has gone too far and has hurt the chances of this country bouncing back to low unemployment levels.

One politician in this country who has been able to do the nuance thing is Reshma Saujani and she has done it when she has not had the power that a Congressperson has. Reshma Saujani winning on September 14 has national implications. That is why the New York congressional delegation needs to do a fundamental rethink. It needs to distance itself from Rangel/Maloney, and it needs to come out in support of Reshma Saujani.

Because it is about jobs. It is about creating jobs. It is about the number one issue that will decide if Democrats or Republicans will take the House in November. The voters across this country are angry enough that they just might make the entire New York congressional delegation go stand in the corner.

Standing by Maloney is outright the dumbest move any New York politician could make right about now. To stand by Maloney is to wish a permanent 10% unemployment rate upon the American people. You will not be forgiven.
