Rank partisanship -- rather than running a worthy candidate – “inspired” the local GOP party to decide that particular loser would make a great fill-in candidate for senator. SMH. While many folks weren’t aware of the depths of Foreman’s extremism, one thing is certain: <b>local Republican party leaders</b> <b>absolutely knew</b> and backed him anyway. Their plan was to keep a tight lid on his extremism for public consumption just to get someone elected with a “R” after his name rather than run a quality candidate.
