Mickey Kaus, neoliberal blogger at kausfiles, will take on Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., in the Democratic primary, according to LA Weekly. Kaus is a strong supporter of national health care, though he harshly criticized the White House "cost control" marketing strategy.

Kaus is known for his honesty about the motivations of his allies, his opponents and himself.

Tsongas was opposed to nationalized health care.

Would be great if he’d run on a third-party ticket.

A shame he supports government run healthcare. I know he’s a liberal but I actualy like the guy for not being insane and helping kill amnesty. I don’t think California Democrat’s are smart enough to vote for him though.

He’s smarter by leaps and bounds than Barbara Boxer is, but then so is the average house cat.
