Boston

IN ORDER TO AVOID getting mired in the swamp of hatred, or the politics of personal destruction, or the moors of mean, or whatever the kids are calling it these days, let’s stipulate to one thing: Steve Brozak is almost certainly a wonderful human being. He’s from New Jersey, so he’s got that going for him. He’s got a beautiful wife and two daughters. And he’s running for Congress.

Brozak has never stood for public office before, yet the DNC brain trust decided to put him in (non-network) primetime, on the Wednesday night of the party’s national convention. You know, to see what the kid could do.
