Stephen Fincher, the Republican nominee for Tennessee’s 8th congressional district, is among a select group of “Young Guns” featured in a new book written by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Paul Ryan (R-WI), and Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
The book, “Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders,” offers both a critique of the GOP in times past, and a new direction for the party moving forward.
According to a post on Hotline On Call:
Each Young Gun gets a 3-chapter section to himself — Cantor flagellating the GOP and promising a new way forward, Ryan offering policy prescriptions and McCarthy touting some of the candidates he’s helped recruit as a top NRCC official.
…
McCarthy talks up Fincher; WI 07 candidate and “world-champion lumberjack athlete” Sean Duffy; CO 04 contender Cory Gardner; Rep. Charles Djou (R-HI); AL 02 candidate Martha Roby (R); and IL 11 candidate Adam Kinzinger (R).
Update: My lefty twitter pal, @Cody_K sent me this link to a piece this afternoon on the Huffington Post that includes a clip from today’s “Morning Joe” in which the hosts and panel mock the promotional campaign.
