Wow! Well said.

Another point
Yes, a really good article. One could add that retrospectively Renee Hoyos or Mark Harmon look like a much better alternative.
Retrospectively?
(in reply to Mark Harmon)
They were better alternatives when they ran.
Agree
(in reply to Mark Harmon)
My thoughts as well. Victor played up Matlock, who is just more open about his wingnuttery, when he should look at who would best represent the constituents. Republicans aren't good at that unless you know their constituents are wealthy folks and corps.
Agree.
(in reply to WhitesCreek)
The reference to Matlock didn't make much sense to me either. Matlock campaigned to the right of everybody. Maybe we should talk to someone at Fisher Tire about running, if we're going to start electing tire merchants.
I will never ever buy tires
I will never ever buy tires from Matlock. Or Ashe. Or Burchett. Or vote for them.
