Repubs who want to win in a deep blue state, or Dems who want to win in a deep red state, have to be very moderate to have any chance.

5. Sounds good. Also, they are more likely compromise, less likely |

I've watched Murdering Joe Scarborough maybe twice in my life, but one of those times--I think election night--he ranted about how redistricting was killing COngress.

Even Scarborough said this would destroy the government eventually.

7. There are others with equal or greater popularity on this poll, though... |

Check out McCain, both Senators from Vermont, etc...
