Her focus on corruption in Washington and on Wall Street is what our Country needs right now. No more politics as usual." --Richard Painter, ethics lawyer, George W. Bush administration.
It’s a pretty old trope, bringing out some apostate from the other party in an effort to validate your own. The I-didn’t-leave-them-they-left-me gambit.Quote:

There is a virtual army of "apostates" to choose from. Men and women who still see some role for ethics and character in government.Quote:

Fast forward a few days and I get an email that I must make a separate trip to their NH campaign headquarters to pick up my ticket. I don't know what sales pitch they had in mind for me, but I declined. I have been to events for 13 other candidates and never had to go ahead of the event to their office for a ticket. The one other event involving a ticket I got an e-ticket. We are in the 21st century after all.
Remember, "Which one of these just doesn't belong?" on Sesame Street? If when you watched the last debate you thought Tom Steyer, you're right. Not only is he a little off, but so is his campaign.
I didn't think he was so bad. Honestly, I would take any of them over the current office holder.
The early results are in and Michael Bloomberg won in Dixville Notch despite not being on the ballot. Three of five voters wrote him in. He got votes from both parties.
Well that's weird. So it's an open primary?
