I agree that Lake made a mistake with McCain fans but that election was so obviously manipulated that nobody can tell what the effect was.

Carilee @ 6:40am,

“It’s like the Republicans have total amnesia…”

It’s also like it’s all a game and the Democrats and Republicans are coordinated in serving the Swamp, the Military Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, China and whomever else lines their pockets.

One of the two.

Aggie and Barry,

Although I agree with you that I like what little I know of Sinema and it was refreshing to see a Senator who doesn’t seem to be beholden to Party or K Street, the point of the Senate is to be a sort-of House of Lords where each state’s Senator is mostly beholden to the elected leaders of his or her state.

When a state’s governor and legislature are in sync a Senator should typically function like a rubber stamp to their wishes. We don’t need more “independent” Senators, we need more Senators beholden to their states. Independent means you can get Senators more interested in lining their pockets or promoting their own image than serving their state’s interests.

Re: Sinema.
Yes, yes, and YES!!!

…Except that she folded…at precisely the time she should have held firm…
…and it’s a shame because up until then, she showed a whole lotta spine.

Yep, she (and Manchin—wouldn’t want to forget him, now, would one?) GAVE “Biden” a TREMENDOUS gift.
Alas….

(Oh well. Can’t win ’em all…)

The new GOP wants to cut the government way down, not just manage it better.

Kate, I’ve been participating in boards like this for about 19 years now. Street-level Republicans have opinions, impressions, and reactions. The number who have a clear idea of what they’d like public policy and public administration to be and are willing to discuss that isn’t large.

Davemay – What’s wrong with Lake’s record? Well, I’m sure she was a fine newscaster. I have no problems with that.

As a politican, she kissed away a Governor’s seat in a purple-to-red state by less than 15k votes after she deliberately antagonized the voters of the state’s beloved six-term Republican Senator. Say whatever you will about McCain. She didn’t run against McCain’s legacy or his policy, she specifically told his VOTERS to “get out.” Running against McCain’s voters, as a Republican, in Arizona, is madness. And as a politican, that is Lake’s record.

Look – I’d vote for Lake if I lived in AZ, but I’m not bullish about her chances. Not at all.
