He was also the most unpopular prior to the 2012 re-election. Sounds like he had some help from his RINO buds against that evil “tea party” candidate.
He didn’t need much help. That the GOP was stupid enough to put up a candidate even MORE unpopular than Dingy, a two-time loser and nutter, should’ve realized how it would turn out. A ficus plant could’ve beaten Dingy in 2010. Sharron Angle ? Not so much.
