Howie Klein: Robin Hayes Follows Michele Bachmann Off The Rails
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Earlier today, at DownWithTyranny, we discussed how the Republican brand is so tarnished nationally, that even in deeply red districts in The South, voters are turning away from the hatred and divisiveness the GOP represents to embrace the Democratic message of change and of shared prosperity for working families. Nowhere is that more obvious than in North Carolina's 8th CD, where progressive Larry Kissell is successfully challenging Bush rubber stamp Robin Hayes to a rematch. Hayes is best known in the district for crying like a little girl when Tom DeLay forced him to change his "no" vote on CAFTA, an unfair trade bill ...

"We see," he said, "that your PAC has been raising money for Larry Kissell longer than anyone and that you've been pushing him since 2006. Can you help him now? Hayes is pouring money into negative TV spots and we're getting clobbered." I offered him a deal. Since the terrible, job-killing trade policies of ...

Is Larry Kissell sending out résumés for a teaching job in 2011? Thursday I started getting urgent e-mails from several friends on Capitol Hill. I would have rather heard from Blueberry Hill. Larry Kissell, a freshman Democrat from North Carolina, was making noises about killing the health care bill. Why would they be ...
