(31,233 posts)a couple of decades old. Unfortunately, resting on those laurels didn't help him last night. Look, as I said earlier, I have nothing personal against Dennis, I just find him too Michelle Bachmann like for my tastes. He would be great as a talking head, but as a legislator he's been abysmally inept.
It's fine to "speak to truth to power" if you have a record of accomplishment, but "speaking" just for the sake of "speaking" is still just "speaking". I know his fans think that if more people got to know Dennis, they'd love him as much as they do, but I just find that hard to believe. If there's any Congress person with a high national profile, it's Kooch. But that didn't help him last night. The people of the newly drawn OH-09 have spoken, and Kooch's fanbase will just have to get over it.
