A bit of candor

There's not much new in this story about the recent special elections, but it is nice to see a Republican who is dealing with reality instead of spin. Senate Minority Leader Dick Day is honest enough to say that Ochsner's loss in Saint Cloud has nothing to do with the Sue Ek controversy, unlike some other spin doctors.

Of all the Republican leadership, I think I like Dick Day the most. He seems less willing to play spin games than anybody else, which is refreshing.
