10. I'm glad Melissa Hart has gone from Congress
From Wikipedia
Early in Hart's first term, she became the subject of an embarrassing controversy for off-color remarks made to a colleague in the House. New York Times journalist Mark Leibovich describes the exchange: "Congressional staff members related an incident in 2001, in which they recalled the freshman Representative Melissa Hart of Pennsylvania, who is white, admonishing Representative Julia Carson, who is black, that the elevator they were riding on was members-only. Ms. Carson, of Indiana, proceeded to introduce herself to her new colleague, offense taken."

And she's also a poor loser

On Election Day, Altmire was victorious by a margin of 52%-48%<7>, thus ending Hart's congressional stay. Hart initially refused to concede the race to Altmire, instead sending lawyers to the Beaver County Courthouse to reconfirm the poll numbers; she later did concede, but refused to credit Altmire in doing so, instead lending credence to the campaign advertisements that Altmire used, as well as those which were aired by other associations supporting his campaign. <8> .

When she's endorsing someone to run for Congress, it's a pretty good indication that you want to get as far away from that person as possible. Which is particularly true for Tony Snow
