Maggie's Farm

Among other national races I am keeping track of in my blue area of the country, I have been particularly interested in those of Dan Debicella in Fairfield Co., CT and Sean Bielat's vs. Barney Frank.

Dan: Wharton, Harvard, McKinsey, entrepreneur, State Senate leader.

Sean: Georgetown, Harvard, Wharton, Maj. USMC, McKinsey, entrepreneur.

We are fortunate that such talented and experienced people are willing to serve us. What moves them, when politics is so often a harbor for losers?

I found it interesting how their resumes overlapped. McKinsey is like a finishing school for the shiny resume, the energetic and the bright, isn't it?

These guys grew up in the "working class" with no "privileges," and applied their talents to the fullest. Good for them.
