Is Harper a better candidate or a "drag" on the "race"?

The H-L has done another good write-up. This one is on Billy Harper, who rejects calls to quit the Governor's race and instead declares that he's a better candidate than Northup or Fletcher because "I'm not a politician. I've come out of the business ranks where I know what it is like to make a payroll."

Is Harper a better candidate or is he a "drag" on the Republican gubernatorial "race"?

BTW: meet Dick Wilson, Harper's running mate.
