Don't worry (much) for US Congress, the proble is US Senate.
How can this be?? The district went 60% for bush in '04. If I was reading CQ correctly, Sherwood was unopposed in '04 and got 93% of the vote? I find it hard to believe the bottom has fallen out so badly. If this poll is at all accurate then it would indicate the GOP is in deep trouble all over.
Sherwood should have just retire. Once again the theme of 2006 being the "Year of the Idiot GOP" continues.
I have many relatives in that district. People are just disgusted with Sherwood for carrying on a five-year affair. The district has a lot of Christians who take moral law very seriously.
If Sherwood had just led a more moral life, he could keep getting re-elected for the rest of his life. People liked him when they thought of him as the nice man with the car dealership who stood up for what is right.
