was his district competitive, or do you just have to have the R after your name

I don't know. If he's such a poor Republican and there are no Democrats in his district, is it really true that they couldn't come up with a single other Republican to run against him in a primary for Congress that would be more to your satisfaction?

I think it's more likely that yes, he's been elected to Congress lots of times, and yes, that's because people in his district like him.

That’s because he hasn’t had a real good challenger until this year and he is known to bring the pork back to his district. Paul leads all other Texas congressmen in earmark requests.

Time for a change, let’s get a real conservative in that district.

then he was of no benefit to Republicans outside of his district. Let him continue to run there or , if he’s primaried , another Republican will represent his district. What’s the difference to the rest of us?
