Tea Party candidate who never caught on blames Linda McMahon’s deep pockets

You would think a guy who predicted the economic crisis of 2008 and the recession of 2009 would have gotten a little more traction among conservative Republicans and Tea Party leaders when he ran for the U.S. Senate.
But Peter Schiff has been so ignored by everyone from Jim DeMint to Sarah Palin to Fox News that on Monday he made the unusual admission for a political candidate that he doesn’t have much of a chance in Tuesday’s primary, when Republican voters in Connecticut choose who will face Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in the race to succeed Sen. Chris Dodd, a Democrat.
“I’m the best candidate but unfortunately I’m not going to be the nominee,” Schiff said in an interview by phone as he criss-crossed the state in an RV.
He immediately softened his admission of likely defeat.
“I’m not saying I’m not going to win. I can still possibly pull it off. But if I end up not being the nominee, it’s just really unfortunate, because not only am I the only person that can deliver the kind of change that the country needs, but I actually have a better chance of beating Dick Blumenthal,” he said.
Schiff’s slip of the tongue is indicative of the degree to which he is an un-politician. But while he is a political outsider, Schiff does not have the advantage of having a PR-friendly occupation, like physician Rand Paul in Kentucky or former NFL player Clint Didier in Washington. Schiff has spent more than 20 years as an investment advisor, and currently is president of EuroPacific Capital, Inc.
