Hopefully the thugs stay home thinking their districts are locked up safe for them.

But the battle going on there between Liz Cheney and Mike Enzi is epic---I would rather watch this one than have 50 yard line seats at Super Bowl(well----maybe not that far)----any way she is ticking off a lot of the Republicans in Wyoming---it should be safe there as bomb shelter----but would it not be fun to see the Republicans get into a scrap that lasts a few election cycles------with Democrats representing them----this is a reason to live---

keep going Bigdarryl

For either Democrats or Republicans. Only about 50-60 are competitive in any given election cycle. The parties know this and either don't seriously contest them or they deny funding for candidates. That's just the way it is.
