Op-Ed Contributor - It’s Still the Year of the Outsider - NYTimes.com: "Indeed, it will be extremely difficult for Democrats to use their “failed policies of the George W. Bush administration” strategy against Republican Senate candidates who were nowhere near Washington during the Bush years. These include Mr. Buck, Sharron Angle in Nevada, Carly Fiorina in California, Linda E. McMahon in Connecticut and Rand Paul in Kentucky."
Note that this argument doesn't hurt, and helps, Steve Driehaus!
I don't buy the argument anyway.  Anybody who runs as a Republican perforce is beholden to the party deregulators, Right-talk radioers, or could be.  We cannot risk our society again.
