Hold on, I thought Bruce Pearl wanted that gig.

Okay, I sense some of youse want me to say it, so here goes: I, CrimsonJazz, do hereby declare by candidacy for Alabama's Senate seat. I'll run on the Boobs -N- Beer platform. Topless dancers at every polling place, handing out free beers to the people who vote for me. It's no less ethical than anything else happening in D.C.

Take a look at the alternatives. Political hack Steve Marshall is the most likely, along with another guy on Tuberville’s staff. Each of them will try to out-Trump the other.

I actually think Fxxxxx would be better than either of those guys, and am 100% sure he’d be an upgrade from Tuberville.

I know you've got this in blue.

But in a world where Hillary can run in New York while living in the White House, Al Franken can suddenly decide he's moving back home to run for the Senate (I'll at least give him a few points for living there a bit), or Tubs can run while living in Florida, this is hardly an issue anymore).

Don’t forget the HHS Secretary’s dad running from New York because he didn’t want to run against the incumbent from his home state.

No, but there was one slight difference: he at least had served in a Cabinet-level position. SURE, his brother appointed him, it was nepotism, but unlike Hillary, Tubs, Franken, or Finebaum, he HAD actual DC experience.

He didn't want to run against his own brother in 1964, no.
And he didn't want to wait until 1966.

The label "ruthless" as well as "opportunist" was rightly affixed to RFK Sr.

By the way, I don't even mind that given the minimal standards, just be honest.

"Yeah, I don't really give a damn about you New Yorkers, but I could never get elected in Arkansas, my home state of Illinois doesn't have a Senate race until 2002, by which time I'll be a bad memory,
and I want to be President someday, so please elect me to the Senate" would have been honest on the part of the Hildabeast.

And Scott Brown, too, for the Republicans, but at least New England is small enough that Portsmouth, New Hampshire (where Brown was born) is closer to Salisbury, Massachusetts than the World Trade Center is to JFK Airport.

Coincidentally, Brown won the Senate seat RFK Sr wouldn't run for because his brother held it.........
 
Hillary couldn’t have run in 2002 because Dick Durbin held that seat and still does. She would have had to wait until 2004. She probably wishes she had run for that seat when the only other candidate was some state senator with a thin political resume.

In the general election, she would have faced Alan Keyes, who actually liked in Maryland.

Probably not.

9/11 made her important as the Senator with the husband's name from the big state in the news from the tragedy.

I think the fact Hillary had not lived in Illinois since 1965 - and the state had nothing but Republican governors except for four years from 1969 to 2003 - wouldn't have helped.

But she could have at least gone back to ARKANSAS to run. At least she'd been the First Lady there for 12 years. But that state was flipping hard red, too.

That and there was no Senate race in 2000 in Arkansas.

Plus - Arkansas elected Blanche Lincoln in 1998 and let me tell you something: never have I ever seen the female version of Bill Clinton politically speaking (not referring to the extracurriculars) as I did with Lincoln. The woman was a master at not answering a question, looking sincere, and leaving everyone convinced she was on their side of an issue. Hillary would have been hard-pressed even with her name to be more than the #2 female Senator in Arkansas. Lincoln lost her career because the unions wrecked her in a primary in 2010, leaving her a corpse to lose in the fall.

I loathed Lincoln - but I won't deny she was a damn good politician.
