Heh. I've been depressed about politics most of this week, especially given the push to name Condi Rice as President and self-described "conservatives" who do the left's dirty work for them and say stuff like "Good to see President Obama embrace marriage equality" (you NEVER see self-described liberals repeat conservative talking points like "Drill, Baby, Drill!")... but, when things are observed from that perspective, I guess it's been a very good week overall for our guys.

I never heard of the guy until today, but after looking at his website, I came away quite impressed. He's new to the political stage but has an excellent resume, inspiring life story, and unapolgetically conservative values. He's also not making me nervous he might embarrass us in the future. Some the "true conservatives" the tea party backed, like Sharon Angle, Ken Buck, Dan Liljenquist, etc., have said things that make me cringe and given the RATS ammo. I've never been sold on George Allen's "comeback", so I'm definitely leaning in E.W. Jackson's direction now. There is a third GOP candidate, VA state legislator Bob Marshall (Jamie Radtke is running as well, but seems to have faded) Jackson seems to be the best of the bunch.
What did Walker win on Tuesday besides the meaningless primary?
I wouldn’t worry about Rice. While it is distressing anyone would think that’s a good idea it’s not gonna happen.
