[Rational Thought]

Committee assignments given by the Party leadership are usually to those with a history of being good soldiers and with seniority. Antagonize your leadership, and you’re probably not going to be receiving anything, except perhaps, a primary opponent.

My thought: If he or she voted in the best interest of his constituents and he or she got a primary opponent...so what? The thought of being bought off or coerced is an anathema to me....just saying. My rep is on the wrong side of this issue and I will do all I can to see him defeated next year!
