GOP’s ‘deeply unusual pool of candidates’

This piece in Politico contains a pretty good run down on the GOP's challenges this year around the nation. Theme of the piece is that the offbeat nature of the candidates mitigates potential GOP gains in November. Not sure I buy that premise, but it's a story line that I am sure runs through many newsrooms. It begins:

"A former professional wrestling executive, a libertarian ophthalmologist and a man who thinks bicycle use could empower the United Nations filed to run in elections. That’s not the start of a joke: that’s a sampling of the deeply unusual pool of candidates running – and actually being nominated – for high office this year."

You can find the full story here. And, yes, Sharron Angle is mentioned.
