re: #252 exelwood

Perhaps I misunderstood your post. It was my impression you were blaming the candidate for the loss of the MA senate seat without acknowledging the enormous elephant in the room (forgive my pun!).

She was a terrible candidate. He was quite good. On the political professional level, it’s all about candidate recruitment. When Jon Tester won in Montana, it was mostly because he was a really good candidate. Voters as much as they complain about Congress almost universally return their representative.
