Ruling class RINOs are remarkably tone deaf. We'll probably have to settle for them in places like Massachusetts with a Scott Brown, but I hope Olympia Snowe gets a primary challenger from the right. The Tea Party had excellent results in Maine in 2010.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Tammy Baldwin is the frontrunner now that Feingold has decided not to run. She can’t win against anyone imo. She’s openly gay - and she’s in your face about it - and as liberal as you can get.
Why run Thompson who will probably stay for one term for a little bit of more personal glory when we can run a conservative who could hold the seat for many, many years?
