"I'm not sure I understand why we, as conservative Republicans, would care or even desire, that Traficant run or be elected."

Having Traficant on the ballot is very important. Every vote for Traficant takes away a vote from Tim Ryan, DICK GEPFARTS hand picked choice. Ryan is a youngster who will owe Gepfart forever for his election and he may as well just hand over his congressional voting card. There is yet another guy named Davis in this race, he is a long time AFL-CIO leader that was badly screwed by his own union and he's not a happy camper. More votes taken away from Ryan. We have the chance of a badly split up RAT vote here.

It's the only way the Republican has any chance of winning. That chance is still slim to none and Womer-Benjamin is a RINO but we just can't afford to let the RATS and their socialist "progressive caucus" take over control of the House. And if Traficant did manage to pull out of this mess somehow he would be an "independent", vote for Hastert for Speaker and give us good fiscal conservative votes. This is much more about making Gepfart the LOSER than it is about making Traficant a winner.

You nailed it CW....besides the fact that it could prove very entertaining, especially if he actaully won. The more havoc it creates the better IMHO.
