You have to wonder when the "Republican" Tribune loves to write up characther assissinations on any Republican candidate (especially conservatives) who are not part of the status quo and don't have the blessing of the party machiniary. This was the only "mainstream" paper kooky enough to endorse George's soulmate Corrinne Wood for Governor, after all. How did that help Republicans?

I think this is BIGGER than Dr. K. He's not polling high enough to be seen as a threat yet. He's not going after any of the choosen ones. None of his primary opponents have had anything negative to say about him either. Notice this hit piece occured right after ANOTHER CONSERVATIVE Indian-American won an huge upset in Louisiana and scored the GOP nomination. This is about the even increasing amount of minorities voting for and running on conservative principles -- and how the status quo doesn't like that. Goes against their theory that the GOP must be more LIBERAL to win, not find more qualified minorities who believe in CONSERVATIVE principles. Even if Kathuria didn't win, he might assist Jack Ryan in bringing minorities into the conservative fold for the Senate election.

Can't have that, eh Tribune?

Excellent analysis, once again.
