… I rather suspect it was always that way… but this WaPo tour d’horizon of the GOP’s dim Senate prospects seems all but Democratic cheerleading.

1. Milan:Yep, I saw this article and its wish fulfillment aspects jump out. It’s probably a good summary of local political positions now but is ignorant of larger issues and presidential dynamics including who the candidates are per se. The Republicans have a lot of work to do but their leading candidates are so much more substantial in their broad real-life experiential backgrounds than any of the Democratic candidates. I think the Republicans have a very good chance based on this difference.

The last United States senator to be elected president was John F. Kennedy—and he barely squeezed by Richard Nixon. Americans consider senators as essentially do nothing blow-hards. Governors and mayors of cities with populations of 8 1/2 million people actually have to earn a living. This is another strong reason why Rudy Giuliani has a strong edge over Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama.
