Conservative columnist conflicted about Orman

Greg Orman, independent candidate for U.S. Senate, has a fan in conservative columnist George Will. “Orman discusses policy problems with a fluency rare among Senate candidates and unusual among senators,” Will wrote in the Washington Post, adding that “the Senate’s intellectual voltage would be increased by Orman’s election.” But Will is also conflicted, arguing that “improving 1 percent of the Senate is less important than taking 100 percent of Senate control from (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid, who has debased the institution to serve Barack Obama.” – Phillip Brownlee
