Today is Blogosphere Day, a good time to take stock in what the liberal blogosphere has accomplished. One of the major pieces of this is supporting progressive candidates, which ActBlue has done so well. So let's take a moment to congratulate them, especially in light of the breakthrough we had in 2006.

And in that vein, a personal friend, all-around great guy and influential blogger, Juan Melli of BlueJersey, is having his name floated as a potential candidate for Congressman Rush Holt's seat, should Senator Frank Lautenberg step down and Holt then run for the Senate.

Not only is this important, in that The NY Observer's blog is doing it, and they reach a wide variety of folks in NJ. But also it is apparently pissing off the local idiots at RedJersey (must apologize, don't link to trash). So please go vote for Juan immediately, he is within 5 votes as we speak!!
