Sigh. I have to agree with you about being underwhelmed.
My congressman, Mark Green, took his name out of the running a while ago.
Both Green and Ryan are up-and-comers. Either would make an excellent opponent for Russell. Welch is OK. Farrow is no loss. I don't get the Michels thing.
So he has $$. As Mark Belling would say, "Whoopty doggone do!"
