3. I heard John Nichols the other night& he made an interesting point

He said that Ryan'district doesn't include any major cities. It's mainly small towns, rural, and suburban areas with a very low number of minorities. That makes more sense than the inaccurate "he won in a blue area" meme. Ryan's challenger was also on & said Ryan's popularity in the district is waning because of his extreme positions on Medicare and Personhood along with ignoring his district in favor of galavanting around the country on national teabagger business. Wouldn't it be awesome if he lost BOTH elections? Unlikely with his local race, but a girl can dream, can't she?
