On John Batchelor's radio program Thursday, he discussed the congressional race in Wisconsin's 7th district, illustrating what a unique election year this is shaping up to be.
David Obey -- a powerful, Washington entrenched politician -- is facing a formidable opponent, Sean Duffy.
Batchelor had Greg Giroux, Roll Call, on the show to talk about the midterms, focusing on Duffy.
Giroux said he had an opportunity to speak with Duffy, calling him "telegenic" and "well-spoken." He said that Duffy has "a sense of humor," "an interesting personal background," and "an atypical resume."
"Voters are looking for something different," said Giroux.
Batchelor and Giroux noted that Duffy has been very successful at fundraising.
Although Giroux questions whether Duffy can unseat Obey, Batchelor declared, "Sean Duffy is the future."
Obey, a career politician, is by no means an outsider. He's served in the House since 1969. In fact, Obey has been in the House longer than Duffy has been alive.
Giving Duffy some nice national exposure, Batchelor promoted Sean Duffy's website.
To conclude the segment, Batchelor said, "It's a very strange election, challenging the pope for Easter."
Translation: Duffy is taking on Obey.
John Batchelor has such an interesting way of saying things.
Overall, Duffy was discussed in a very positive light in terms of his personal qualities and his campaign.
It's time for a change. It's time for Obey to go.

Literally, as John Batchelor and Greg Giroux were talking about Sean Duffy, his wife was giving birth to their daughter! This is their sixth child.
At 8:28 pm we were blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Mom and baby are doing great.
Congratulations to Rachel and Sean!
