re: #216 exelwood
This excuse to me has an almost “whistling through the graveyard” quality to it. I know it’s part of the punditry’s narrative but we’re all pals here, don’t you think the massive leftward lurch might have a teeny bit to do with it?
Actually it’s a political rule, one which hold regardless of political party. The Dems like to see their buddies elected (Sherrod Brown) and the Reps like to see their buddies elected (Rand Paul). Ok, I’m less well versed on the Republican side but I wasn’t making a partisan point. The old boys network works in business as well, or so I’ve heard.
