Well this is kind of cool: In West Virginia, a 17-year-old high school student has out-campaigned a sitting state representative, winning the GOP primary. Saira Bair, the daughter of a former state representative, beat incumbent state Rep. Larry Kump, 67, in the low-turnout primary -- only about 1600 votes were cast, but Kump acknowledged that she'd beat him the old-fashioned way: "She mobilized her people; she was effective. She just did a better job of campaigning," he said. It also helps that West Virginia Law allows 17-year-olds to vote (and run) in a primary as long as they'll be 18 before the general election, so Blair was able to get a lot of her friends to vote for her.
Aside from LimeyLizzie, who had a special dispensation, I don't recall Wonkers much using the word. Even the likes of Palin or Coulter have to earn the label, by doing or saying something considerably more reprehensible than usual.
So yeah, we use it, but in this context it's overkill. (P.S., she's not Hitler, either.)
Joni Ernest look and act alike candidate?
She'll be 18 before the election.
Until then, you'll have to call her a baby tea-see you next term.
To be ready when the South rises again, duh.
Does this mean we need a Juniors' Division for Legislative Shitmuffin of the Year?

I've got no idea. But something about showing the damnyankees what-for and restoring honor (of having an economy based on slave labor?).

She might look good in a dipthong.
