DC Cal?

One overlooked factor in the Democratic Senate primary: Did being the Washington pooh-bahs’ pick hurt Cal Cunningham?
 
The DSCC heavies got behind Cunningham only after a long and frustrating courtship of Bob Etheridge. Cunningham got so frustrated he dropped out of the race, then got back in when Etheridge finally said no.
 
So you had white male big shots in DC recruiting a white male candidate in NC to run against a female and an African-American – both of whom had the pluck to got into the race on their own.
 
Maybe the hard core of the Democratic Party showed some anti-Washington anger right here.
