Drinking with Morgan Carroll

Here's what you need to know about Democratic HD 36 representative Morgan Carroll:

1. She's a smart, brave progressive. Last night at Drinking Liberally, she talked about the ways in which the system is rigged to keep lobbyists happy and regular people ignorant. She has taken principled stands on healthcare and immigration reform. And she's even spoken out against popular bills based on idealism.

2. She kicks Republican butt. HD36 overlaps Tancredo and Beauprez's congressional districts. Yet she still managed to win 55% of the vote in her last election. The Republicans would love to unseat her this year. But to date, they haven't found a decent challenger.

3. She looks a bit like Angie Everhart. Except Carroll was happy to spend part of last night sitting on the floor of Double Daughters. While Everhart becomes irate when hair salons shampoo her hair wrongly.

If this doesn't satisfy your urge to know more about Carroll (and I can't say I blame you), I suggest you check out TBTH's story on Soapblox. Or GRAPEVINE. DYD dude Mike Weissman was also taking notes last night, but I'm not entirely sure where he will post them.
