The candidate is "immersed in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country."
When asked if he wants Bush to campaign for him says, "To be honest with you, probably not."
The candidate wore "a monogrammed shirt, French cuffs sprouting cuff links coordinated with his necktie."
The candidate was eating steak.
Linc Chaffee
Gotta be someone running in the NorthEast. I'm guessing Chaffee.
Of course, the compost wont run an article about Dems touting their monumental failures. Blame Bush, hate America, and appease terrorists, is exactly what the dems stand for, but it doesnt make good copy in a liberal socialist rag like the compost..
"If this race is about Republicans and Democrats, I lose."
In other words, his constituents would never elect a real Republican but a liberal with an "R" behind his name, maybe.
What a wuss- if you are ashamed to be a Republican, then switch sides, don't hide anonymously so that you can fool voters into believing that you are a Republican when you really aren't. Who is this person? I think voters have a right to know who they are dealing with.
Chaffee would make perfect sense, but as far as I can tell (I just skimmed), it was a Senate "candidate". If it were a sitting senator, I'd think they'd bring that fact up. Who knows?
Saying one is "down for lunch" must be part of the hip new wanker-ese that reporters use in conversation.
Either that or the author and the post's editor were high on crack when they let this article fly.
LOL, he is a liberal in a liberal state.
More MSM propaganda.
Something tells me that this quisling was never much of a conservative anyway. Since he's spouting so much of the standard Democrat catechism, I can't understand why he doesn't admit that he IS one, and wear their shameful cloak with pride.
This coward has to be the limosuine liberal Lincoln Chafee.
Unless of course Milbank was making stuff up.

Hmmm. That line from an unnamed GOP Senate candidate sounds familiar 07/25 09:54 AM I'm not saying that I know the unnamed Republican Senate candidate that is referred to in Dana Milbank's column, and is being discussed in the Corner.

But a smart guy told me to look hard at a certain quote from the candidate, and I noticed something.
From today's Milbank column:
The candidate looked the part of the contender, wearing a monogrammed shirt, his French cuffs sprouting cuff links coordinated with his necktie. He ate carefully, removing the gelatinous yolk from the four-minute egg in his salad. But he spoke with little caution as he ladled a heaping portion of criticism on his own party.
"In 2001, we were attacked and the president is on the ground, on a mound with his arm around the fireman, symbol of America," he said, between bites of hanger steak and risotto. "In Katrina, the president is at 30,000 feet in an airplane looking down at people dying, living on a bridge. And that disconnect, I think, sums up, for me at least, the frustration that Americans feel."
From a Robert Novak column, back on May 29:
But at Prince George's Community College with Principal Myrick at his side, [Republican Lt. Gov. Michael S.] Steele whacked President Bush's educational policies (especially defunding support for low-income college students). In his brief remarks, he could not find anything favorable to say about the president.
He was even tougher on Bush in talking to me: "In the eyes of blacks, [Hurricane] Katrina was a 9/11 event. You didn't fly over 9/11. You got on the ground in the rubble. You should have been on the ground for Katrina." Republican regulars don't mind this sort of talk. They know Steele, their former Republican state chairman, from fish fries all over the Free State. He can say whatever he wants to score a historic victory of national proportions.
I'm just sayin'.

Steele of Maryland?
"The candidate gave the luncheon briefing to nine reporters from newspapers, magazines and networks under the condition that he be identified only as a GOP Senate candidate. When he was pressed to go on the record, his campaign toyed with the idea but got cold feet. He was anxious enough to air his gripes but cautious enough to avoid a public brawl with the White House."
It will be interesting to see WHICH of the nine
reporters divulges his identity first! If there's
one thing you can bank on, it's reporters telling
ALL they know, never mind the veiled clues!
Based on the current direction of the GOP you wouldn't be pretending.
"The candidate gave the luncheon briefing to nine reporters from newspapers, magazines and networks under the condition that he be identified only as a GOP Senate candidate."
NOW the MSM keeps a secret. This is so much more important than keeping our national security program movements secret.
