Can anyone name Bernie Sanders' republican challenger?

I couldn't without going to look it up- and I've already forgotten his name again; I'm a Vermonter.

I've never heard of this guy before although I follow local politics closely.

Anyway, looked him up again and went to his website. No wonder I never heard of him. He's from MA. The last guy from MA who attempted this gambit, Jack McMullen, ran against a retired dairy farmer who won and promptly dropped out after endorsing Pat Leahy.
This guy has the repub nomination.

Bernie won with 65% of the vote in 2006 against a filthy rich self-financed candidate named Richie Tarrant. This time he should win with over 70%.
