Thanks for the info. I'll take a look. I am fascinated by the local aspects of most of these people.

As far as WA, I think we have a reasonably good chance of sending a newbie to DC this fall. But I want to gain seats in the end, not just come out even. I think that is our best chance.

So...Laffey it is. I am assuming you are from RI?

Heavens no. Nebraska. A state so Republican that the Dims are on the endangered species list. IOW, the political paradise most FReepers dream of. Unfortunately, we're not as conservative as we are Republican. That's one reason I focus so much on conservative issues. It does little good to turn a Dim into a Republican. But turn a Dim into a conservative and you've got something.
