Politico ^ | 9/4/10 | Ben Smith

The NRSC sends over this passage from an interview with Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Scott McAdams:

In the interview with RealClearPolitics, [McAdams] demonstrated an unwillingness to answer some of the most basic policy questions that have permeated the national debate in recent months.

Asked if he would have voted for national health care reform, McAdams paused for a full 10 seconds before replying, "Let's see. One moment please." Another 15 seconds of silence came next, before McAdams finally asked to hear the reporter's next question.

Another 15 seconds of silence came next, before McAdams finally asked to hear the reporter's next question.

Asked next for his views on Afghanistan and TARP, McAdams said, "Why don't you let me get back to you on that."

When is the debate.

And yes it’s a rhetorical question.

This guy sounds like Alaska’s answer to South Carolina’s Alvin Greene, don’t ya think?

Must have been hand-picked by the Murkowski camp, when they thought she was a shoe-in for the nomination.

As rare as a blue moon when even Leftist Politico droid, Ben Smith manages to publicly note the ignorance that is constantly on display by 99%+ of his favorite D-Rat politicians. Hopefully someone will post this on that crap site...Politico?!?!
