And Wexton is opposed by a Republican and a former Republican running as an independent. This sounds like classic idiocy from the right and will insure a Rat victory. I wonder if there is any leftist funding going to the independent?

I wouldn’t consider the ex-RINO running (former state del. Joe May who was beaten in his last primary by a wide margin by now State Del. Dave LaRock and quit the party in a fit of pique when he failed to be given this nomination for this Senate seat) as an indie to be part of “the right” but his presence in the race probably eliminates any chance of winning this rat-leaning seat. (I think it’s rat leaning, Herring won it fairly easily)

Doesn’t help that the Republican John Whitbeck, once told a joke that was labeled “anti-semitic”. It wasn’t, just unfunny.

According to another WAPO article (endorsing the rat of course)

claims Whitbeck is “not a serious candidate” because of this joke. Yeah right.

I think my uncle lives in this district.
