hopefully one day we can get an Iranian one to teach us not to be untermensch.
May be our only hope.
As our esteemed governor said on the night of his election, "This is an important election. This is the end of the beginning but it's just getting started again."
Like someone here wrote about their own situation, the Republican party in Connecticut is badly fractured and keeps coming up with candidates on the state level that dissatisfy everyone.
The terms "Socially liberal, fiscally conservative" (whatever their veracity/utility) generalize the Connecticut political mood of the money and infrastructure of the Republican Party here. But that's not where the base is and it isn't winning over outsiders right now. There is little appeal for the wealthy technocrat type who doesn't have any real political convictions but thinks he or she deserves a title because they were CEO/CFO of this or that and are now retired and bored.
It's exasperating to have to deal with the Democrat
voting games on top of the republicans sinking their own ship over arguments about whether a candidate is worthy enough to run if he or she's not a centi-millionaire.
