Can You Settle For A Candidate Like Conor Lamb -- IF THAT WHAT IT TAKES - To Regain The U.S. House.

[DFW]

35. We have no choice. Remember what he was running for: the House of WHAT again?

REPRESENTATIVES.

I.e. to represent his particular district. If that's the kind of people that make up his district, then someone like Lamb is the best we can hope for from the people of that district. If someone like Saccone is the alternative, holy shit yes, give me Lamb instead. He is no idiot. He can meet with the people he represents, hold town halls, do what Gabby Giffords used to do. Go out and meet with your constituents, talk to them, show them why going left will be far better for them and their families than going right. But you can't do that as the guy who lost the election. You CAN do that as their duly elected representative in Washington.

Remember how Al Franken won his first Senate election by a few votes? He did a great job, communicated with the people of his state, and breezed to re-election. If Lamb maintains his lead, and takes this seat, then he has the chance to do the same. But the seat must be won in the first place, and someone to the left of Lamb wouldn't have had a ghost of a chance in THAT district. The people have to change their minds first before their representative in the House will. This is a start. I may have this wrong, but heard the Republicanss dumped $10 million into this race for Saccone. That's close to $100 per vote. In a presidential race, that's $6 billion. I'm betting that not even the Kochs are willing to ante up THAT kind of money to buy an election.
