Is moderate/sane Sen. Republican Russ Potts planning to help Democrats win his seat this November? It sure looks that way based on this article.
In an interview, Potts said the two candidates vying for the Republican nomination, Jill Holtzman Vogel and Mark Tate, are too conservative."They are to the right of Attila the Hun and way out of the mainstream," said Potts, noting how the two oppose abortion even in cases of rape or incest.
Potts adds that Tate "was indicted last week on charges of election fraud and perjury," and that Vogel is a "'daddy's girl,'an apparent reference to how her father, William B. Holtzman, is helping to fund her campaign."
In contrast, Potts says that Democratic candidate Karen Schultz is "very capable" and "very articulate."
The question is, how hard will Potts work to elect Schultz? Also, how much clout does Potts have in the 27th district? Let's hope the answer to the first question is "very" and the answer to the second question is "a great deal," because if Potts puts the 27th into play, that greatly increases the chances of Democrats taking control of the State Senate this November. In other words, Go Potts!!!
