Hintz on Petri

The local Democrat entourage showed up in a New York Times piece on the upcoming Petri race. According to the piece:

Hintz even attempted to invert one of the credentials that has given Petri cross-party appeal, his willingness on occasion to break with the Republican line. Hintz argued that Petri, despite his seniority, has long been overlooked for leadership positions in his party. “He’s out of touch with Republicans,” Hintz contended. “He’s a 1979 Republican. He comes from an era where parties worked together more.”

Hintz also offered that a Petri retirement can’t be ruled out, saying, “Anyone that has been a career politician as long as he has, you hear rumors.”
