5. Strange huh?
I want to believe that we aren't that crazy on this side of the state but his continued success makes me wonder.

Of course he does have the benefit of being an incumbent. Not debating an opponent is a plus for him (a public debate would really hurt him and he knows it). Then throw in a few hot button issues like immigration or big government to rally the troops and he's got another 2 years. :grr:


I've talked to some Republicans who really dislike him but there must be enough birthers and baggers to make up the difference. And I suspect a fair amount of those more moderate R's are too obstinate to vote for a Democrat so they hold their nose and give him another term.

What to do...:shrug:
