In the Wisconsin Democratic primary for Paul Ryan's seat, the bandwagon jumped on style with nary a moment's pause to look into the substance.

The result: a Dem front-runner who is a Republican oppo fantasy candidate. More baggage than a carousel at LaGuardia.

The full story from WaPo on the first of the only two debates candidate Randy "Ironstache" Bryce has agreed to participate in against his rival, Cathy Myers.

It didn't go well for Bryce.

In a district where we need a dragon-slayer, we're poised to nominate a zombie candidate:

A candidate already limping south in the polls in a race where the tide already runs red.

If nominated, Bryce will face months of withering, brutal pummeling in negative campaign ads.

This is the peril of Fan Club Politics.

Style builds weak candidates up. Substance sends them crashing right back down.

Loving the paint job is no reason to buy a car before you've even bothered to look under the hood.

If Bryce gets the nom, we own this lemon.
