#2 I live here. I know him, and support him, but this is deep into embarrassing uselessness, as Steve Chapman notes.

What he doesn't note is the remaining distinction between Kirk and Alexi - namely the flat out criminal negligence.

Lexi's family coincidentally paid themselves $80+ million in dividends before the recent economic turn, only for the feds to arrive and demand a capital infusion of . . . guess what, $80 million if they want to keep the bank.

They chose the cash.

At least Kirk's not in our pockets for that much, so far as any of us know, yet.

He should still win, unless the POTUS fires US Atty Fitzgerald and shuts down the Blago trial.

#3 They only ask the political gods to send someone who doesn't lie, steal or bargain with corrupt officeholders.

Vox populi, vox dei

You get what you pay for and tolerate.
