It's called Obey Out and frankly, I was wondering why Congressman Dave Obey (D, WI-7) had not drawn more interest from the internet community.

Dave Obey is among the meanest dudes in Congress and he's got a hot temper at home too. I suspect this is why so many Republicans take a pass on challenging him, and why so many conservative Democrats live in fear of not towing the Obey line.

Creative internet strategies is what is needed to defeat a congressional incumbent that was first elected back in 1969; build a cyber groundswell and use ensuing symbolism to craft an image of how Obey is woefully out of touch with his district and the country.

Then again, ya can't beat somebody with no body - especially with one of the largest House Districts east of the Mississippi.
