Frazier Announces for Congress; Some People Even Care

Apparently Ryan Frazier’s announcement yesterday that he will run for Congress in CD-7 instead of U.S. Senate didn’t go all that well. We’ve heard estimates of only about 30 people, half of whom were staff or volunteers.

But don’t take our word for it. Here’s a video of Frazier’s announcement speech yesterday, and you can judge for yourself based on the crowd reaction (or embarrassing lack thereof) to Frazier’s uncanny vocal impression of Barack Obama.

We’ve said before that Frazier is not prepared for a big race like Senate or Congress, and our analysis holds. Weak turnout yesterday, combined with some genius’s idea to hold the kickoff in front of a loud and busy road, doesn’t exactly inspire confidence if you’re a Republican (cue sound of three people clapping).
