Extremely poor candidate with a horrific popularity number who was to stupid to step aside and allow a more personable candidate take the helm. Yes it was a win in the since that it should have been a slam dunk for the DimocRATS but it wasn’t. We had the same scenario happen in a senate race a few years back. Akin was the next in line and he muscled his way to the top spot. His foot in mouth disease was masterfully played by Old Fat A$$ Clairebabe who at the time was all but washed up. What should have been a landslide turned into a safe seat. Always remember if the DimocRATS can get the numbers close they can find the exact amount needed in the trunk of an abandoned car.
Politics is still mostly local.
