The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto (Best of the Web) met Massachusetts Republican senatorial candidate Jeff Beatty at the Republican National Convention and was wowed by his impressive credentials. As he notes, in oh-so-blue Massachusetts Beatty has an uphill climb. Kerry has been in the Senate for 24 undistinguished years, occasionally popping up in Massachusetts news for wind-surfing and bar hopping in Nantucket. Kerry fatigue is working in Beatty's favor and the idea that Massachusetts would benefit from two-party representation in Washington could be catching on.
