The captive or the Congressman? In some districts it may help garner votes....
"In some districts it may help garner votes...."
LOL. Here in the east Tennessee mountains that lifestyle still hasn't caught on too well.
My congressman, Lincoln Davis (that's really his name) voted for the non-binding resolution, but he doesn't have the courage to go further.
During a phone conversation his aid said Bush was wrong to not send enough troops to Iraq, but he is against (now) the surge, and sending additional troops to Iraq.
When asked what his plan for Iraq is, he has no answer.
This is his first term, and I will work hard to see to it his last. Elected democrats here in east Tennessee are rare, so he is on thin ice anyway.
