I have received about a dozen text message now from the @CoriBush campaign and groups working on its behalf (e.g. @justicedems & @OurRevolution).

I've asked each of them if they could point to a single policy difference w/ @LacyClayMO1 -- not one has yet done so.

Lots of "this congressional seat has been held by the same family for 50 years" (with no sense of irony that Cori's dad is also a MO Politico), or "Lacy Clay takes corporate donations" (with no sense of irony that Bush is funded by out of state donors w/ their own agendas.)

I'm very much a lefty and should be a gettable vote, but a challenger needs to do more than engage in ad hominem attacks if they want me to jettison an elected official who's been a reliable progressive vote and whose office has always been responsive.

Update:

The Bush campaign has answered my question about the most substantial policy difference between them and Clay...
