Scott Walker, republican governor of Wisconsin, dealt with the past union dispute in his state admirably. I'm impressed! He reminds me of Herbert Hoover or Hubert Humphrey, the senator for Minnesota in the 50's that made it to the VP spot serving president LBJ

FAUXTON posted:What's the chance that the seat flips? By that I mean to ask whether they will hit up some fuckup like Coakley or Sink who will just piss away the seat to some carpet-bag jackwagon with big money on speed dial like that witch lady. Basically none, given 1) it's a presidential year and 2) MD Dems have the very recent tanking of Brown to rember. Maryland hasn't elected a Republican to the Senate since 1980, and the state had only gotten bluer since. I expect the primary to be a knock down, drag out of unbottled ambition, probably among some DLC types (Van Hollen) and progressive types (Edwards, Mizeur?). The MD GOP is so marginal they'd have a tough time finding a statewide candidate for a federal office. Andy Stern ain't playing statewide.

Gingrich led the polls for quite a while until a personal failing brought him down. There's no evidence that his staff was anything less than exceptional throughout the campaign.

Gingrich's moment in the sun was all about his personal performance in several debates and had nothing to do with his campaign operation, who first quit en masse as soon as they figured out that they'd been hired to promote a book tour and were replaced with a skeleton crew who couldn't set up an office.

No, it'll be because Democrats are the real racists. I've seen it plenty before. Supporting Obama, but not Ben Carson, is cause Democrats hate black people who can educate minorities on how welfare is a Democrat trap.

It's a good excuse to watch Caucus, the documentary about the Iowa 2012 race. See if you can spot any staffers at the Gingrich appearances, other than the guy wearing the plushie elephant costume.

The dude was a joke whose campaign only got as far as it did by running on the fumes of Newt's unbelievable hubris. Such self-aggrandizement can take you a bit, but just that -- only a bit.
