The Trib picks up the hard race story today.
Crane, the original ideological puritan on small government is actually running on bring back money to the District.
He also touts his seniority and conservative credentials, saying that the Democratic nominee, Barrington businesswoman Melissa Bean, 42, would vote with her party and have little clout to bring federal funds home to Illinois.
Sure, so when is he going to start? He’s a bit late after 30 years to decide he needs to take care of the District.
If we get a democratic majority, surely “voting with her party” won’t be a problem, will it? Crane would then be powerless, and possibly even punished. Democratic pork can taste just as good, tho thanks to the reps the pig is mighty skinny these days.
