Oct 2013

is in a +25 district. For the record he finally flew the white flag. Many of these folks are in +22, +26 districts. They are so secured that even a challenge on their right could easily be squashed. Yes, they are afraid of a challenge from the right, but the districts are so safe that even that is fantasy.

Now Boehner is not in such a secure district, but his is still pretty much safe, iirc it is +15

We are missing it, because we are thinking the obvious. I'm thinking back to the 1930s ironically and the business forces behind this.
