Iraq Vets for Congress (Republican ones)
Written by Alex on February 8th, 2008In 2006, a group of Democratic anti-war veterans got tremendous press coverage for their candidacies for congress.
In 2008, a number of Republican pro-troops Iraq war veterans have gathered together to run on a message of victory in Iraq.
The group, led by Kieran Michael Lalor of New York, is called IraqVetsforCongress.
Mr. Lalor stopped by and chatted with me here at CPAC a few minutes ago. He is running against a first-term Democrat in New York’s 19th district. The group includes a number of veterans, including Duncan Hunter Jr., who is running for his father’s seat.

Interest that a couple of the candidates in that group are running against incumbent Republicans. I was most surprised to see someone running against Bill Sali, Sali supports the War doesn’t he? So why run against him?
