Nussle presses for local control over location of factory farms
Huh? Part of me thinks this is a brazen move like all the Republican "ethics reform" we saw in DC last week. But if the traditional press is taking it at face value, it raises the bar for the Dems on this issue - especially Patty Judge.
Speaking of Judge, her fundraising numbers looked pretty low this week - closer to Fallon than to Blouin and Culver. And Fallon has an excuse since he's the anti-fat-cat guy. (My feline housemates take offense at that term, but they definitely need to lose weight.)
My experience is that candidates who take the "I refuse big money" approach have nothing to lose, because they wouldn't be getting any big money. But do Real People outside the journalist-politico-blogger echo chamber really care about campaign finance? My guess is a casual do your civic duty primary voter is relating to this race on the level of "maybe it's time for a woman" or "he looks just like his daddy".
