I used to have to wear a bag over my head, being represented by that smug POS.

Also, if trends continue, and the midterm curse holds - the party in power usually gets kinda lazy and complacent around the midterm elections, and the opposition grows a lot more motivated, so things often flip to the opposing party. So even if this candidate can't unseat little Jason, then the next-best thing can happen: enough Dems get in, elsewhere, that WE take back the House of Reps, and Jason loses his committee chairmanship.

Either way we win. Also, it's good to force the bad guys to have to spend money in places where they never had to, once-upon-a-time. In seats they never had to defend - until now.

I should move down there for the election then run back up here to relative safety. Or I should donate which would be a more reasonable option.
She sounds like a great candidate even if Chaffetz didn’t need to be kicked to the floor.

Edit: nope... that's Orem, Provo area. OMG. I'll pray.

Good fucking luck. I'll spend my time and money in districts a little more likely to win.

Rather than an impulsive reaction to a Republican you hate, wait a few months and see what develops?
