Ideological purity doesn’t matter if the candidate loses. Must be some balance between that and the ability to campaign
I agree. I don’t think Saccone is necessarily a bad guy or really even a bad candidate (as I glibly said)
I think he was a stodgy appearing candidate running against a young, ambitious lawyer/leftist slimy ex-JAG type...the type of person our combat troops are concerned about, and for good reason.
