"You seem happy about it.
"
Do I? I'm not. What I'm really unhappy about is that he's the GOP candidate. I'd much prefer someone who can win the election. I'm unhappy about a lot of GOP candidates. Take Kennedy in Minnesota. He's going to lose, too. Fortunately, it's not a seat lost in the Senate, but it could have been a gain. Too bad.
You're unhappy that a 2-time winner and staunch conservative is a candidate?
Since Rick is the incumbent, in that case it was a given that he would be the candidate (unless he withdrew or was forced out in a primary). With the open seat in Minnesota I too feel like an opportunity was lost. Not knowing their politics too well, let me ask you, who could have done better than Mark Kennedy?
