“We’ll see. We don’t know what he’ll do in office. If he wants to be re-elected, he’ll need GOP help.:

Ah...he’s getting it now BEFORE being elected. What he does next is on the GOP’s head.

What's he gonna do that's so damaging - vote like his liberal Democrat predecessor? We know that Tierney is a turd on wheels - this guy's on probation and *could* vote differently. We just don't know. At worst, he follows Tierney's lead, and the RINO plutocrats who backed him with Super PAC funds waste the few million dollars they spent getting him in office. And then we primary him in the next election.

By the way, John Tierney, the incumbent, has a 0 American Conservative Union rating, along with Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank. He gave GWB fits about the Iraq War and is a staunch opponent of missile defense funding. How much worse can the GOP guy be? The hardest part is turfing the long-term (8-term, in Tierney's case) incumbent. Once that's accomplished, it's a lot easier to go after his successors or primary GOP successors who don't toe the line. Tierney's district will never be very conservative - he beat his opponent by 14% during the watershed 2010 elections, so the GOP guy who's looking like a winner may be the best we can do in that seat.
