This is the first cycle I could have run for the Senate. About 14 years ago I was plotting my future run against Durbin. ;p
Sadly, I’d have about the same chance that Uberdouche has at beating him.
There’s a third candidate, Jim Lawrence, who looks pretty credible on paper (Ex-State Rep., USAF Veteran, etc.) and solid on the issues: http://www.lawrenceforcongress.com/home.html I don’t know if he’s competitive in the polls, though. Not sure of his ethnic background either (Garcia is half spanish and half italian and 100% cutie)
Looking back at the earlier posts on this thread, it seems Garcia’s main obstacle to the nomination isn’t her squishiness on illegals, but her casino vote. NH-2 is a tough district for any Republican to win so I’d have no problem supporting her over the RAT in the general, but she wouldn’t be my pick in the primary.
