For whatever reason, Democratic turnout was at rock bottom and as a direct result the 1CD Democratic candidate nominated to battle Paul Ryan is a right-to-life, flat tax advocate. <br /><br />You can't blame others for losing when turnout is this low, but thanks to many gambling on using a Tea Party candidate to weaken Paul Ryan, the Speaker is now getting to run against someone who holds many of the same views Ryan does.<br /><br />Hard to see the win here for 1CD Dems, but then again it's hard to see any 1CD Dems at all. The CD is allegedly +4 R, but it seems much redder than that.Mark Gislesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264508885194574116noreply@blogger.com
