The Republicans finally have a candidate to run against Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Jay Townsend, a GOP political strategist, is scheduled to announce this Saturday that he will run against Schumer.
Interestingly, Townsend sells a DVD seminar entitled “So You Want To Run For Public Office?” The first DVD, “Things You Must Know and Do Before You Run,” sells for $99. Let’s see how well this political campaign teacher does in the actual practice. He has his work cut out for him, though — the TPM Poll Average currently gives Schumer an approval rating of 54.3%-37.3%.
Late Update: This post originally identified Townsend as a Fox News commentator. A Fox News representative tells us that Townsend is not in fact a Fox News commentator, nor he is employed by the network.
