Big news indeed, as it hardly ever happens. Good evening everybody.
Regarding the Barone comment from the other thread, he also was compeled to mention that Angle "lacked a certain smoothness". Huckabee questioned him on it, saying didn't voters often times like a candidate that was down to earth, showed they knew what the voters lives were like, etc.
Barone acknowleged yes, this can be desireable but then he had to go on and insist that voters can also think that a candidate's positions are just too far away from theirs (extreme, IOW)
The media is certainly persistent in it's demonization of Tea Party candidates. Perhaps they see the writing on the wall all too well and are generating controversy to create a story.
We can hope.
I have special regard and respect for Barone. He knows the individual states down to the district level...those are facts. And he's pretty conservative in his opinions. He mixes the 2 pretty well, IMO.
