I think Barone is the best political analyst in the USA, and Sean Trende is a close 2nd, IMHO. If you enjoy numbers, they have them.
I volunteered for McCain in 2000. He became toxic after 2000 with his gun show loophole crap and campaign finance reform, ditto global warming crap.
I’ve been in AZ since before McQueeg was a Congressman, and he was toxic with me since well before 2000. That’s true for a lot of people when it comes to him. Sometimes it just takes a little exposure to get soured on somebody. Not only is McQueeg a backstabber, but he’s a mean, miserable little toad. As I mentioned earlier, he’s been a reptile since he was born.
It’s like that old commercial, but in reverse. “The farther you are, the better you look.”
I agree with you about Barone, he’s probably the best, but just because this ignorant Trende person is working with him on a scholarly work, doesn’t mean the dweeb is credible to me. Demonstrating a breathtaking lack of grasp of political history about McQueeg isn’t helping.
