No. Grayson was worse.  It's not like the Insurance Commissioner is a huge name in state politics like Grayson and he didn't have the endorsements of Whitman.

It's hard to beat $80 million dollars in a primary.

Yeah none of those mentioned ones did anywhere near as horrid as Poizner.

But none of them had the deck so stacked against them as Poizner.

Very few candidates could have beaten $80 mil of advertising from Whitman plus all the party support behind her.

Yeah, I don't see how Poizner and Campbell can be faulted for being abandoned by their party and forced to try to outspend billionaires.

And I don't see how anybody could epic fail more than Vic Rawl in South Carolina.

Hey, now.  Vic Rawls was up against the Greene Machine.  60% is not luck, or so I'm told.

Debate of the 21st Century--Alvin Greene's Senate primary victory:  proof of the randomness present in our universe or the work of an almighty creator?
