1. Interesting. He might have a chance there.

[question everything]

2. Does he live in the district? he should, shouldn't he?

7. I think he's still teaching at the U law school, so he probably lives in the TC.

But the northern edge of the district isn't too far to commute. I don't know if reps are required to live in their districts but they certainly should.

10. They do not have to live in the district

Jason Lewis didn't live in the 2nd when he "represented" it.

9. No

I think they live in the TC suburbs.

3. W's advisors can GFT.

4. Screw this guy. He is NOT a Democrat.

NOT a "centrist" either. He will end up voting with GQP 80+% of the time. If you think Manchin is a problem, this guy is worse.

5. Fuck that guy. But at least it keeps him out of statewide races.

6. Also really looking forward to see how his concern for watersheds goes over in farm country.

8. He doesn't live in the first district

I know his wife.

11. Feehan just announced he's not running.
