Scotty is doin' OK.

Good idea. The RINO run. Get Rossi in in WA and what's-her-name in in Cali.

Tecumseh said...

I'd be more than happy if both Rossi and Fiorina won their respective races. Look, one has to adjust one's expectations for the electorate of each individual state (that's how representative democracy works). Eg, Arizona could do much better than McCain. As for Scotty, he's the best I can hope for as Senator in Massachusetts.

In other words, you gotta take into account the partisan index of each locale. 538 explains this pretty well, if you can follow a 2-d chart.

I agree, but think Hayworth is a mongoloid.

Tecumseh said...

Not the brightest bulb in the universe, but hey, what do you want? Winston Churchill from Scottsdale?

Mr roT said...

Wasn't AuH2O from around there?

Tecumseh said...

Well, Phoenix. But that was from a time when men were men. At any rate:

* As usual, you skirted my main point: AZ is a much more conservative state than, say, MA. A state normally should have a senator who more-or-less reflects the (political) makeup of its electorate. But of course McCain is to the left of Brown, which is rather paradoxical, no?

* McCain spent a cool $21 million to beat back JD's challenge. If JDH was such a total moron as you maintain, how come McCain needed so much money and effort to put him away?

* Besides, how come McCain has invested more energy, and has been much more trenchant, in fighting against JDH than BHO, back in 2008? Goes to show, methinks, where his priorities are...

Tecumseh said...

You never address the point. It's a theorem.

Mr roT said...

Weren't you and AA pullin for Mac and Kerry a few years back?

Tecumseh said...

No. We wuz pulling for Axelrod. Whatever. A=>B.
