Bielat Could Win

Byron York explains that, although still the underdog, Sean Bielat is within 10 points of Barney Frank, in a district that Frank won by 43 percentage points just two years ago. That's a 33 point swing in two years assuming the polls are representative. And rightly so, considering Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were the two biggest defenders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were the companies most responsible for today's recession.

Bielat, a 35 year-old marine with degrees from Georgetown, Harvard and Wharton, is a serious guy that has a real chance at victory if conservatives turn out in force a month from now.
