Frighteningly plausible. Hell, Toomey and Johnson could pull it out.
I'd like to see what a Johnson/Hillary Clinton voter looks like.
Maybe similar to a Gore/Santorum voter in 2000?
Santorum was a populist and friendly with the unions.
Johnson is a hardcore tea-partier that has nothing to show during his first 4 years as a senator other that partisan attacks and gridlock.
He was friendly with some unions and not an overall populist at all. Rick says stuff about blue collar workers and is vocally socially conservative and the political nerd class goes into analytical overload by labeling him an economic leftist/BIG GUV REPUB!!! Yeah, he opposed NAFTA but look how he voted on other free trade agreements. Look at how the guy took on the mission of pushing Bush's partial privatization of Social Security (as a Sentor representing
Pennsylvania).
