This is just pitiful. Obviously I’m a Sullivan fan, but Lipinski should have been able to raise a half-million without much effort. He obviously isn’t making calls of any significant amount. Just more evidence of why he’s a hack.
The only reason Sullivan has a shot is because Lipinski is a horrid, horrid candidate.
I’m getting the feeling being out in the hustings, that even the party regulars aren’t too enthusiastic about Lipinski Jr. I mean, if I had run around with Lipinski Sr. for years and years, you’d figure that I’d want a chance at bat once the old man retired. The last thing I’d want to see would be the old man’s son come in out of nowhere and take over.
I’d be pissed.
I’ve seen Lipinski on the stump. Nice guy, lousy politician. It’s painful. I’ve never seen a candidate look more uncomfortable.
I couldn’t help but think Dad forced him into this and he wishes he was back on campus. Like I said, a nice guy, no dummy either. I almost feel sorry for him.
I know a lot of folks who know Dan from political science circles–generally everyone likes him and can’t figure out what the hell this is all about.
And they think he’s right wing, way right wing.
