"How do we even know that Mr. Lewis can articulate our concerns on all of those other programs?"

If he can, he needs to do so soon.

"Secondly, Boehner represents the people of a particular district."

Excellent point. Lewis is going to have a huge battle convincing the people of Boehner's district that he has been so negligent in representing them, that he deserves to be removed as their Representative by someone who doesn't even live in the district.

If this is the only challenger to Boehner though, I'll take it. I live in California, and Boehner has voted on things I opposed, thus he affects me too. Lewis can make the same claim, in that while he doesn't live in Boehner's district, he has been adversely affected by votes Boehner has taken, and thus he has a right to run against him.

He should have moved there before declaring he was running. Besides, he’s a Randall Terry loon.
