Tim Fernholz says Republicans have found the perfect spokesman for a substance-free election.
Despite these missteps, Republicans will certainly gain seats this fall, not on account of their vision but because of broad dissatisfaction with the economy. If Democrats manage to cling to their majority, it will be because Sessions' Democratic counterpart, Rep. Chris Van Hollen at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, manages to protect a few key seats by out-campaigning Sessions' team and convincing voters to take seriously what Republican candidates are saying -- or, rather, not saying. For the most part, the GOP declines to specify its agenda, instead pushing a simple national policy: "no" to Obama.
