So I'm in Michigan for a couple of weeks researching women candidates in national politics. Just as with men, there is good and bad among women. In the race to take Carl Levin's Senate seat, Republican Terri Lynn Land is duking it out with Democrat Gary Peters.
An ad for Gary Peters claims that Land is taking campaign money from the notorious Koch brothers but of course makes no mention of Peters taking money from out-of-state billionaire Tom Steyer. And of course an ad for Land makes sure to trumpet Steyer's money going into Peters's campaign without mentioning the Kochs.
But hey, look, any serious Republican or Democratic contender for a Senate seat has got to be taking money from billionaires. It's just the way things are.
