Not buying it. Ineffective blowhard.

So yes, McNeilly has won. In addition, he has also taken on some tough fights and lost - but we fight our fights because it is the right thing to do, not because they are easy.

Some can respect the fact that McNeilly fights tough races. Anyone can manage an easy incumbent campaign. Some have the guts to run tough races with challengers. Did he beat Sander Levin? No. He came a lot closer (less than 5%) than anyone else in twenty-seven years in a Dem district. Did vouchers have a chance to pass? Definitely not after Johnny Engler broke his promise to support them, but fighting for them was the right thing to do, as confirmed by the performance of the DPS.

@geneseeGOP1 For what it is worth, McNeilly won Don Carcieris race for governor in Rhode Island. When he was state party communications director, the state GOP won every statewide race and took over the Supreme Court (technically non-partisan, but all candidates have clear if unofficial party affiliations and support).

@geneseeGOP1 Don Carcieris governor's race in RI for one. When he was the State Party Political Director, the GOP swept ever state wide race but attorney general, including taking over the state Supreme Court.

@geneseeGOP1 Some can respect the fact that McNeilly takes on tough races and good candidates, even if that means an uphill struggle. Anyone can manage an easy incumbant campaign. Some people have the guts to run tough races with challengers. Did he beat Sander Levin? No. But he came a lot closer (less than 5%) than anyone else has in twenty-seven years in a solid Dem. district.
