GOP vultures already declaring for Frankens seat

[Mister Ed]

9. Karin Housley's my neighbor. She's not a bad person, but she's stunningly unqualified for US Senate.

Her daughter and mine played on the same soccer team one year, and remained friendly acquaintances. She's a successful real estate agent in our area. She needed a new gig after the big crash of 2008, and ran for State Senate.
Her principal talent is self-promotion. That's what makes for a successful real estate agent, and it's a big part of what goes into success in politics. But it doesn't make a person a wise and able legislator. I think a US Senate bid amounts to stunning overreach on her part.
