Eric Swalwell (total hottie) Wins Congressional Race!

[JayQueer]

OMG...

I have a such a crush on this guy.......he's so hunky! He's a 31-year old attorney who is a Democrat & is California's new representative for the 15th district (the suburbs of the San Francisco Bay area)

He will be the youngest congressman from California, and the 2nd youngest Democrat in US Congress.

He's such a hottie......You know he was probably a jock in high school

sorry, JQ


not feelin' it

[bankside]

They say he defeated another democrat. How is that possible?

Incidentally he is good looking.

[rareboy]

His skin is terrible.

But whatever rocks your boat.

California established a new system where everybody competes in one primary regardless of party affiliation. The two top vote getters then face off in the final election. There were some instances I had heard of where two Democrats faced each other.

[andysayshi]

He looks like a younger version of the Australian Leader of the Opposition a little.

Which is a BIG BIG no in my book, sorry JQ.

Brad Sherman versus Howard Berman is another example of that happening (Sherman won)... two veterans facing each other... neither were good looking lol...

Eric Swalwell? Not seeing it as far as attractiveness. But as long as he's a democrat and gets us a supermajority in California.

[JoeCatcher]

Line him up on the Capitol steps with the other California congressmen and he'd be the one that'd catch your eye, believe me.

[palbert]

JQ - for once I agree with you.

That is fucked up. I don't see how a state can prevent a party from running a candidate in the election. It just seems anti-democratic.

It is up to each party to decide who gets to carry their flag in the election, and it really shouldn't be the business of the government at all (or the other citizens who are not members of the party).

The people vote on which ever candidates the parties are smart enough or dumb enough to select, and it really isn't any of their business if the party has a vote of its members, or draws straws, or has the leader appoint the candidate. Their time to decide is in the election.

Guess I wasn't the only one who thought Eric Swalwell is the new stud in the US Congress. Although I was the first to notice

David Mixner has a crush on Eric Swalwell too:

"The Next Congress might have a new 'Hottie' and He is a Dem!"

[refujiunderground]

if he's hot, then there's hope outthere that another guy might find me attractive.

[GiancarloC]

Gavin Newsom is more attractive than him...

Bankside, the system works fine for us. It's basically a run off system... in Brad Sherman/Howard Berman's race there wasn't a republican that garnered even close to enough votes. It makes for a more competitive race.

He's def my type. Went to Maryland on soccer scholarship. Has that neck is too wide for collar look you see on so many 'formal' pictures of high-school and college jocks, esp. football. Very sexy!
