Krystal Ball zings Nye
By JR Hoeft | Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 | PoliticsBlue Virginia has the thoughts of Democratic Candidate for Congress, Krystal Ball, who gives the equivalent of the cold shoulder to Congressman Glenn Nye (D-Virginia Beach) on the Bill Press Show:
“I think [Congressman Tom Perriello] is in a much stronger position going into 2010 than Congressman Nye, who’s been on the other side of all those issues. Because, first and foremost, people really respect, on either side of the aisle, people really respect someone who stands for something, who sticks to their convictions, believes in something and goes out there and does what they think is right…Whereas Congressman Nye, there is a lot of apathy among the Democrats in his district. My district is adjacent to his, so we share some of the same localities, and people are not happy with him….”
Yeeowch.
I feel bad for Glenn. It’s almost like the popular girl in school (Ball is gaining a lot of traction amongst progressives) basically calling you a dork when you ask her out. Or worse, just calling you a dork in general, whether you ask her out or not.
Wow. I hate high school.
And this statement was pretty sophomoric.

To bad for her that she isn’t running against Nye in a primary, or at all for that matter. I hope she keeps spoutong her liberal lockstep dogma, it will make it much easier for Wittman to end her career before it even starts.
Govgirl,
Like Whitman needed help on this? Is anybody in the country a bigger electoral lock this fall than Wittman? He doesn’t even need to campaign to win, just put up a couple of posters. A Democrat CAN NOT win the 1st District as currently drawn. Not possible.
Nice to see the Democrats have their own Sarah Palin.
Anyone ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, she asked Nye out on a date and he turned HER down? She’s another jilted woman getting even on national radio show…
As she looks over the water, she maybe can see Maryland from her house.
I’m not fan of Krystal Ball, in fact she’s one reason why I’m so disgusted with the Democratics, but I hate Glenn Nye even more!
Douche-bag!
This woman with the name of a Vegas stripper, Krystal Ball, is finally someone who really is a douche-bag and has earned the moniker by her misconduct.
Steve – not really, I said it would make it easier, not that it isn’t going to be easy already. Ball is facing a primary challenge from a guy who has said he believes that single payer is the way to go. Now it seems she is falling into the same trap – not sure why either one of them is wasting their money, not only is Wittman from a fairly safe R district (always good to exercise caution – take a look at the Dems in Mass) but he is popular, his constituents like him. Waste of time and money on their parts – but oh well, two less progressives who are in play for elected office, the happier I am.
I’m not sure which one is the stupider sounding name in this election cycle… Krystal Ball or Eileen Filler-Corn.
Heh.
She’s gaining traction with progressives in Virginia, but she’s running in a district where progressives have no traction. Her impending loss in November is not speculation, it is what one would call a fait accompli
She’s bashing Nye because Nye is not “ideologically pure” like she feels a Democrat should be. It’s stuff like this that will push Nye to jump parties (like some feel he may do). While that would make him a liberal Republican instead of a conservative Democrat…it’s still one more vote the Dems won’t have.
What a moron. Way to alienate the moderates, Krystal…you know, the people you will have to appeal to in order to have ANY shot at breaking 40% in November.
Everyone here is assuming she wins the primary – or has her opponent dropped out?
