"For every action there's a reaction," Winograd said. Some members of the Democratic Party have swung to the conservative right, and "that has triggered an absolute reaction from progressives who say we want our country back," Winograd said.

Winograd cited other progressives who are running against conservative Democrats throughout the country, including Ned Lamont who's running against US Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT), Bob McCloskey running against US Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) in Pasadena, and Charles Coleman running against US Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA) in the Valley.

She said progressives can get involved in changing the character of the Democratic Party from within.

"We need to ask ourselves, what organizations do I belong to, do they endorse political candidates, if so, what is the process? Am I worth being heard in that process?" Winograd said.

The Democratic Convention which will determine the actual Party endorsement will occur at the end of April 2006. Voters get to make the ultimate choice at the primary on June 6th.

"I think I have a very good chance of winning. Because a primary is typically a low turnout, 27%, so I could win this race with 20,000 votes. And there's a majority sentiment opposing a war, and my campaign is resonating," Winograd said.

However, there has been virtually no mainstream coverage of campaign. Most of the existing coverage of Winograd's campaign has been on the radio, satellite radio, internet news, and blogs.
