From Michigan:

Debbie Dingell is projected to win the 12th District primary, in the district her husband, John Dingell. Mr. Dingell is retiring from the seat he had held since 1955 (29 terms), when he succeeded his father, who had held the seat since 1933. Pretty close to a lock to win in November as well.

That's ****ing disgusting.

A Nixon grows in Mississippi.

By god, this young man McDaniel may just have what it takes.

The book about this race is going to be amazing. There's so much crime mixed with derp mixed with hilarity that at this point it transcends politics -- it is performance art.

This is gonna drive Kepler nuts! From Ann Coulter about Rand Paul...

“I think it’s a little like a compass,” conservative columnist Ann Coulter said Tuesday night on CNN. “It used to be whatever would please 15-year-old Ayn Rand readers was his position. Now, it’s whatever will please basically the mainstream media.”

I hate this stuff, no matter who does it. It's so unbelievably cynical. Just make every office off-limits to all relatives by blood or marriage of a prior holder, like certain Roman offices were.

Why? Other than the guilt-by-association of being a member of a Congress, you're hard pressed to find much negative about Dingell's career. It would have been a shame to lose him on some silly technicality. Maybe his wife will be a disaster, but I doubt it will be because of who she married.

Now if John Conyers' wife took his Senate seat....well, I'd pay to watch that.

It's not like there's a shortage of people who would make good representatives. No matter how good a pol might be, it would hardly be "a shame to lose him." And the bad effects of nepotism far outweigh any good that can come from the continuity.

Anything that actively chops at the roots of aristocracy is a good thing.

Yep. The Dingellberry Dynasty continues. His wife (who is almost 30 years his junior), is a real country club blondie of the highest order too.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Kerry Bentivolio used to teach CAD/CAM at my Catholic high school. Needless to say, he did not last long and was fired.

She's a Fisher (GM money). So, local yokel Michigan money, but all her money could still only get her into Georgetown, after which she started working for GM. She had the right breeding and boobs so they put her on the Hill, where she did her own interesting kind of lobbying... they met when he was 51 and she was 23, right after he divorced his first wife of 20 years. Must have been a touching courtship.

We could have the House of Lords with hereditary seats instead of the Senate.

Who would be Norfolk?

Are there any Lees still floating around?

Edit: Charlie Crist is the son of a VA Lee. How wild is that?

Mike McFadden was just on WCCO TV and hr has come off like a complete moron.

Host: You said you wanted to be seen as a right-center Amy Klobuchar. But senator Klobuchar and al franken have an almost identical voting record.
McFadden: Well, Al Franken has voted with the president over 92% of the time and Minnesotans want two hard-working Senators working for them.
Host: ok. Buy what about your comment that you want to be a right-center Klobuchar who has an identical voting record as Al Franken.

This continued for pretty much every topic. It was hilarious. And sad. I hope they post a video online.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 - Run-HRC? Honest Injun? Gott Mitt Himmel? RyanRubioCruzCrud?

Oh and just to add to the derp, this guy was asked why he wanted to repeal the portion of obamacare that Franken helped pass that required 80% of all premiums be used directly for medical treatments.

Hahaha. Here it is. Great stuff. I wish Esme had pressed him harder.

Example #2,347 why the GOP is now considered to be out of touch. They've become self-entitled when it comes to the government, they no longer need reasons other than, "just cuz" to oppose the Dems and as this guy demonstrates have zero desire to reach across the aisle. Really, that's your platform?
 
Re: Campaign 2016 - Run-HRC? Honest Injun? Gott Mitt Himmel? RyanRubioCruzCrud?

Finally got a chance to watch this. I'm still waiting for him to answer the first question she asked him. And, still waiting......................

There were at least two I can recall him specifically dodging:
1. The Klobuchar question
2. The Obamacare 80% mandate repeal

He's an idiot.

I looked up why he won't answer any questions and found some interesting tidbits.

Re: Campaign 2016 - Run-HRC? Honest Injun? Gott Mitt Himmel? RyanRubioCruzCrud?

That first link is mind-blowing.
Dahlberg says he’s “stunned” by McFadden’s “disregard for the intelligence of the people of this state.” In April, Dahlberg said: “As I’ve listened to the comments of Mike McFadden during his campaign, I’ve been stunned by the disregard for the intelligence of the people of this state.” [Dahlberg Press Conference 4/24/14] - See more at: http://www.dfl.org/election-coverag...n-not-who-he-says-he-is/#sthash.LwCkrk8E.dpuf

I just get the feeling that this guy doesn't give two shuts about the state. He's just in it for whatever the next step is. Franken, OTOH, knows he's pretty much peaked politically and isn't using the senate seat as a stepping stone.

I don't understand why McFadden... Of course, in the middle of typing that, I realized why he got the nomination. He had the money to spend.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 - Run-HRC? Honest Injun? Gott Mitt Himmel? RyanRubioCruzCrud?

That second link was brilliant.

I find it startling that after 6 years this is the best the GOP can come up with to run against Franken. And, I like Franken so I should be thrilled about it but I'm not thrilled I'm more appalled than anything.

I really think the DFL should just hammer him on the Klobuchar comment. It's such a puzzling comment. Why would a GOP candidate even say that?
