Here is another example of the nexus between the MSM and the political class....Former Bush Advisor Dan Senor is running for the US Senate seat held by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.....Mr. Senor is the husband of CNN anchor Campbell Brown.
Earlier this year NBC commentator and for Congressman Harold Ford was touted as a candidate and so was the publisher of the NY Daily News, and add to that financial on-air analyst Larry Kudlow.
To suggest Washington is anything but incenstuous is to be ill informed.

Indeed. Dan Senor was involved in the early years of Iraq-- the ones that didn't go so well. Normally, that would be political suicide, especially in a state like New York. Not this year, apparently.
Add on top of that Joe DioGuardi, the father of an American Idol judge... now, down in NY-29 the Democrats are going to try and bring inin CBS analyst John Batiste because they can't seem to find a viable local candidate.
Far too often in this country the tail likes to wag the dog as far as who the media chooses to cover. The most egregious case was the 2008 elections, where the powers that be pretty much picked which candidates they'd cover and which one's they'd ignore. How did Mitt Romney, a one-term governor of one of the most heavily Democratic states in the union, become a Republican frontrunner overnight? The media handpicked him-- that's how.
That's why we need principled, focused and mainstream candidates to compete for the U.S. Senate seat.
That means the NYS DEMS must award some votes to trigger a primary for Gillibrand at their June convention.
A primary would be open, fair, lively, and provide serious debate.
We don't need more slick Ads, campaigns with tons of money and issues that are well-controlled by professionals with zero interest in anything except making more money.
I have contacted the NYS DEMS three times - no response to date; but I'm not one to give up.
I wish more people would speak out about a DEM primary -- it is sorely needed.
Dan it must be catchy. I have contacted Senator Aubertine, Assemblywoman Scozzofava, and Congressman Owens,but no-one gets back to me , even after I was told they would. Must be too busy with folks who live in the higher echelon of society, or running something. But , then again, I thought that was why they needed all those other folks(staffers), to help them answer to the folks that really count, the voters.
