Joe Blackburn, who is waging a primary challenge to Sen. Walter Stosch, has launched his campaign web site. There’s not a lot to it yet and, as with so many state-level candidate sites, it lacks a blog.
In December, Jim and I wondered whether the Blackburn candidacy would offer anything new and different from the usual GOP pap. Given the content of his first “Point of View,” the answer is no. If anything, the rhetoric is straight out of the 80s.
Fortunately for him, Blackburn has a great opportunity right now to offer a critique of the transportation bill, Stosch’s role in its creation and what he would do differently. Now that would make for some genuine campaign fodder.
