Peggy Lamm vs. free vodka

There is a trick to blogging about Drinking Liberally. Wait until TBTH posts his extremely long, painstakingly detailed report on the evening at Soapblox. And then link to it. Done.

This time, that may not be the wisest course of action. Last night, our guest was CD7 candidate Peggy Lamm. TBTH volunteers for Ed Perlmutter, who is also running in CD7. So his report is sort of biased.

Did I say sort of? Because I meant extremely.

That's not a bad thing. I respect TBTH's passion for his candidate. But it leaves me with the awkward task of actually writing a neutral account of the evening. And since a charming young lady was walking around Double Daughters with free samples of green tea vodka, I was, uh, a bit distracted.

Fortunately, I wasn't distracted all night, as this photo courtesy of Andrew Hyde attests. (You can read Andrew's blog here and see more of his great photos here.) That's me, second from the left.

Peggy definitely convinced me that she has the backbone to further a strong Democratic agenda in Washington. If she is the choice in CD7, I know she can go toe to toe with Republican candidate Rick O'Donnell. And win.
