"JD was an imperfect candidate..."

I remember he was a congressman from Arizona and he was voted out of there after only 1 term wasn't he? Why?

Get you facts straight, SpunkMan, rather than one of those wild ass guesses. Dude.

“I remember he was a congressman from Arizona and he was voted out of there after only 1 term wasn’t he? Why?”

1. J.D. got caught up in the Abramoff scandal. Although the investigators finally had to admit they had zero case against him, it left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths.

2. He was in longer than one term, as I recall, but in the end he got his district gerrymandered out from under him. When they redrew the lines, he lost most of his stalwart GOP constituencies and got stuck with the campus of Arizona State(ist) University into the bargain.

3. In case you can’t tell from today’s election results, we’re all a bunch of f___ing idiots down here. That may also have been a factor.

12 years must be about 6 terms - no?
