Over at the Hoot, there are differing views on the Doheny candidacy...Editorially they certainly will support the GOP candidate for Congress, although they have chastised him this week for anemic poll numbers in the western half of the sprawling district.
Their political coverage shades in his favor, but today one of their editors took off on the Mattster, calling him a latter day Harold Stassen.....The analogy is off on several counts.
Mr. Stassen was a prosecutor and at 31, a two term governor of Minnesota, who after leaving office joined the Navy to serve in WWII.....Post war he tried to seek the GOP Presidential nomination and while credible at first, became a perennial candidate and a metaphor for someone always seeking but not winning high office.
Mr. Doheny is in his third but really second run because the manner of selection in the 2009 special was not for real.
So he is no Harold Stassen....although if he lost and ran again he could be accused of being a Sisyphean character on the NNY political scene.
He is not at that point and is a guy with a shot at beating the incumbent in a race that's not easy but competitive.
