Actually, Roberts wasn’t an unknown when he ran in 1980 for the House. He was the leading candidate and heir apparent to the retiring incumbent, Keith Sebelius. I’d dare say folks knew well about Roberts more so than Wolf now.
You’re not going to catch me disagreeing with you on dumping the party establishment, but I want something assuring me we’re going to have a reliable foot soldier for the cause.

At this point in time, I’m fresh out of “assurances” about anyone! I’ve been disappointed by the best of them. When Arnold the Awful ran for governor here in California when we recalled Gray Davis, I wanted to have Tom McClintock replace him. But when Arnold walked in and stole the show, I was pragmatic and voted for him. Talk about a dumb SOB. The only thing he did was knock out a kid with his maid!
