Rick Noriega is a Democratic nominee to replace Bush rubber stamp John Cornyn in Texas’ U.S. Senate seat. This weekend Rick was a winner of a Blue America Senate contest, having inspired 947 donors (who contributed $20,500). We asked Rick to come by today, not just to congratulate him, but also to ask him how he would have Drunk Newsproached a Paulson bailout had he been in Washington DC. Please join us in a comments section to speak with Rick.

Even though a contest is over, Rick needs donations so he can compete with Cornyn’s huge corporate money machine. You can donate at a Blue America page.
