seeing as the press is ready to cannonize barak and everyone else is behaving like the guy is a vision from heaven, its unlikely that any republican had a chance. So might as well put someone in who will go down swinging.
Instead of putting up the usual feckless, bland, almost completely unimaginative choice that we have all come to expect from the Republican Party in situations like this, they've decided to come out with every gun blazing.
It's more than I can say for my own state's presumptive U.S. Senate nominee.
