On another thread, I told a Paul supporter that he ought to remind Paul of Reagan's 11th Commandment - since Paul claims to be GOP - to which the guy replied that he had never heard Paul say anything personally offensive about President Bush. I didn't bother responding. What a lost cause.
Ron Paul, during the mid 1970s to the early 1980s, was first elected in a Democrat district in a special election. Then lost in the general. He then came back and won in the next general. He then increased his majorities to the point that he eventually ran unopposed.
During the 1990s to the today, he has done approximately the same thing in a new district that originally leaned Democrat, except that the Democrats thought they could mount a challenge to him last year and actually ran a candidate who got his head handed to him.
With regard to Chuck Hagel, he runs up enormous victories in Nebraska.
