In a divided era, sensible Tisei brings voice of moderation

OCTOBER 23, 2012
Had US Representative John Tierney not been weakened by a controversy that grew out of his brother-in-law’s illegal offshore gambling operation, voters in the Sixth Congressional District might well have returned him to Congress term after term without feeling much dissatisfaction. This year is different. Tierney’s family scandal — and his evasive handling of it — gives voters a reason to look elsewhere. Meanwhile, he has an appealing Republican challenger, a moderate who served with distinction as minority leader in the state Senate. This year, Sixth District voters should elect that challenger, Richard Tisei.

Not really surprising, because they love moderate Republicans. However, my guess is that this moderate Republican will vote for Eric Cantor as leader and John Boehner as speaker if elected. One reason at least to support Tierney.
