Yes.

As you may know, the Ohio Legislature, faced with the loss of one congressional district due to reapportionment, carved up Traficant's present district (centered on Mahoning and Trumbull Counties--Youngstown, Niles and Warren). The north part of Traficant's current district was folded into the district now represented by Steve LaTourette, a GOPer. The south part of Traficant's current district was folded into the Ohio Valley district represented by RAT Ted Strickland.

Traficant filed to run as an Independent in the new 17th district, and he will run against LaTourette and a RAT state legislator.

LOL!!! Gosh, you must have had a late night. (just kidding :-))

Did she say she made a 280 degree turn instead of her usual 360 degree turn?

G'night all. This has been a heckuva thread. Watching our COngress, in action, crucifying their own, while we are at war and there are one or two pieces of IMPORTANT legislation still waiting, and one or teo judicial nominations still waiting until Congress deigns to notice was...depressing at worst...outrageous at best.

I hope we haven't heard the last of Traficant.

With Congress, the last 50 years of it, I don,t think thats the undeniable truth. I just think BIG GOVERNMENT made an undeniable POWER Play and we are the losers in the long run!!!!

Then that was an incredibly noble gesture on LeTourette's part. A real gentleman.

Nope
LaTourette is in OH-14 just north of Traf's district... Trafficant will run as an Independent against a RAT one term state rep and Ann Womer Benjamin (R) in OH-17.

Makes a person wonder if Condit wasn't being blackmailed or had a message sent to let him know to toe the line.

Maybe he's been where Traficant was only he caved after the warning and Jim didn't.

Is it possible that he voted no, because it was about the only way he had left to tell Traficant and the world that he didn't kill Chandra, but he's pretty damn sure who did. (Even though I think it's because of her connection to him that she's dead and he didn't speak up to save his sorry butt in time for the cops to find her and actually have some usable evidence).

Or else he voted no because he's still pissed that Gephardt didn't stand up for him till the bitter end and now his meal ticket's about used up. This was a big F U to Congress as a whole.

I think I need to have another beer and think about this some more!

That's not the case they aren't running against each other. LaTourette is a class act, though.

I agree that an overly large government (that's an understatement, I realize) is the base cause of all the corruption.

Condit voting "no" kind of gives me the creeps. I'd love to know what they know... I think. It makes me wonder if Condit was gotten out of the way on purpose, by killing his mistress. Wish we could get rid of every damn one of them, but I guess the voters like them.

"NOES?????" When did that spelling become vogue?

I wonder how many of the ayes voted against impeachment of Clinton.
