I must admit, that is a compelling point. I hadn't thought of it that way before.
The good part is there are at least three VERY conservative Republicans lining up to run for the GOP nomination. I'd vote for any and all of them, and am having a tough time deciding who to support in next summer's primary. The good part is the the election is basically decided at that point because of this district's makeup.
On the flip side, we have Ben Nighthorse Campbell in the Senate. Not even gonna get started on him. Wayne Allard is better, but only slightly so. I wouldn't vote for either of them (and haven't).
