Looks like Dino has a masochistic side. Losing two narrow races to a weaker opponent, what could be more fun?!

ewwwww... He has always given me the impression of being a sort of slimy politician (just an impression of course but I always get the feeling that he is being even more fake than other politicians.)

He's going for a very interesting early strategy - anti-big business populism.  At least casually.  Rossi's whip-smart.  If he can get some populist, anti-corporatist types (not necessarily "Jesus is sure great, but the wages are low" voters - just Dem-leaning independents who don't like big companies) while holding his suburban base, he'll make it interesting.  If you look at the counties he ran behind Bush in, you'll get the picture.

Then again, he is a damn corporate-seeming candidate.  But he just might be affable and smart enough to pull it off.  I don't think it's likely, but we shall see.

Haha, I can't believe you're thinking about voting for him.

Winning a norrow race to a weaker opponent, which he seems to have already done.
