In one of if not the most Republican county in New Jersey, Democrat Jeff Grayzel won a special election for township committee. This was the first time since watergate that a Democrat has won in Morris township. This bodes well for the Demcrats in November.

Grayzel won 2361 to 1867 -- a 56%-44% margin a huge victory in every sense of the word. This was a special election do over as last november was ruled a tie (after two recounts).

The last the democrats won a special election, the following november they went on to win the assembly seat.

A big hand should be given to the Morris County DFA/PDA and their leader Chip Robinson for working really hard for Grayzel. They made phone calls and canvassed for Grayzel, working hard and long and it paid off big time.

Last Friday Chuck Norris endorsed someone for President. Sadly, it was Newt Gingrich and because of that here at Dailykos decided we need to choose a new hero to be an internet phenomenon.

The Criteria to be considered:

1.    Be able to defeat Chuck Norris in Combat

2.    Be Liberal

And now the Nominees are:

10. Senator Hillary Clinton

(Wikipedia)
Why she's number 10. Senator Hillary Clinton would probably not be able to defeat Norris in hand to hand combat, but you don't think she'd let it get that far do you? She'd have his brakes cut or she'd just shoot like Indiana Jones. Senator Clinton was able to convince an entire state that hadn't been in along time to vote her to the senate. And she got them to re-elect her and now she is running for president.

9. Brendan Fraser

Why he's number 9 Brendan Frasser is a true action star. He has saved the world from mummy and then again from a mummy. Watch out he will kick your ass and throw you to a monkey.

8. Matt Damon

(movie promo poster)
Why he's number 8 He's been bourne again as an action star. He has given some good money to a few Democratic candidates and seems to be a real liberal. He is a Massachusetts liberal who can kick some ass; we always need more of those.

7. Tom Dachle

(Wikipedia)
Why he's number 7? He needs to do something.

6. Sir Charles Barkley

(NBA.com)
Why he's number 6.  Listen to the man talk
 BARKLEY: I hope you sell a lot of books. And I never heard of "The Savage Nation," don't care about "The Savage Nation." I care about this nation.
 SAVAGE: What do you do? I don't even know who you are. I have no idea who you are. What are your qualifications?
BARKLEY: That makes two of us.

5. Jon Stewart

Why he's number 5? This video really sums up.

4. Rosario Dawson

(Movie promo photo)
Why she's number 4? Mrs. Dawson runs a great political organization called votelatino.org, which works to get Hispanic Americans registered to vote and she kicks some major ass. What she do to research her latest role? Dawson and her co-stars joined the real protests during the RNC, followed by cameramen who looked, of course, just like the real news cameramen. (Crooker in real life makes documentaries, so could shoot his character's own footage.) So effectively was this work done that Dawson was actually arrested, handcuffed, and held in jail for nine hours before convincing the police she was an actress playing an activist.

3. The Rock

(WWE.com)
Why he's number 9. He is a damn fine cook and an action star. I'm not sure if he's liberal though. He walked tall, coached football and beat up other men in shorts; you don't mess with the Rock.

2 Stephen Colbert

Why he's number 2? The Man, the Myth, the Legend. A man so powerful he got a bridge in hungry named after him.

1. Jennifer Garner

(Doanne Gregory)
Why she's number 1? Have you seen this woman? Garner was the lead role in Alias where she played a deadly secret agent. She went toe to toe with Collin Farrel and Ben Affleck in Daredevil and then in her own solo role. You don't mess with her.

I hate John McCain. I will do what I can't to prevent him from getting the Republican nomination and more importantly from becoming President. He claims to be a moderate, a maverik, a defender of the people, but he is of course nothing of the sort.

I have compiled a list of reasons why you too should hate John McCain.
