Some excerpts below the fold.

Hours before the filing cutoff, someone mentioned Haddock. So, Sullivan had lunch with Haddock, who was home after running a 10-month voter registration project aimed at low-income women. She urged her to file candidacy papers.

"We had one option, and that was to throw the long ball -- the Hail Mary pass," Sullivan said. She denied that Haddock was being offered up as a political sacrifice. "It is never a [waste] when someone steps forward and talks about issues that are important," Sullivan said. "That's the whole point of living in a democracy."[...]

Out on the trail, Doris Haddock delivers this message: Nearly all evils born in Washington -- lopsided tax policies, economic disparity, an ineffective healthcare system, even the war in Iraq -- are caused by "career politicians who are funded by the special interests that they are supposed to be regulating."[...]

But Haddock countered, "Do you think I can't do better than a Senate that has a deficit of $245 billion? A Senate that approved a needless war? There is no one in the Senate who is free to say what they think. But I say what I think."
