BILL RUSSELL for CONGRESS Ping!
To: smoothsailing
Russell is what is known in the political biz as a third tier candidate. 1st tier candidates are those who have successfully run for elective office and have demonstrated an ability to raise money and win elections; or they are well known businessmen who can self finance. 2d tier candidates either have money or name recognition, but not both. 3d tier candidates are guys like Russell: no money and not political hacks.
The conventional wisdom is that 3d tier candidates can’t win. That rule of thumb is likely to be turned on its head during this cycle for the simple reason that the GOP’s favored 1st and 2d tier candidates are exactly the kind of people that we’d like to throw out of Washington.
And the RNC wonders why we don’t want to give them any money.

The RNC is the same as the DNC. It’s a one party cartel. No one wants to stop the gravy train.
