You are right in that big money helped "centrist" Duckwork narrowly beat out the local Democrat. What is a "centrist?" I have no clear idea except for the fact that a "centrist" does not want to be an FDR-type Democrat. (E.g., "I will always remember that my oath of office will be to serve the people of the United States and not any political party of interest group."
On her web site, she says that she favors governmental austerity, payroll tax credits, revising the Tax Code, accountability in the classroom, "investing in safe and responsible domestic oil while moving towards a clean energy future," opposing terrorism around the world, etc.
