Don't misunderstand me. I'm not in love with the guy. I just think he would have had a better chance of delivering MO than John Jr. does at delivering NC. I could be wrong. But, somebody likes him. He's been in Congress for 150 years.

No misunderstanding of you by me. Regret it if you took it so. Yes, Gabby got re-elected many times. Don Federer came as close to beating him as one could. However, his District is hopelessly liberal. At least the majority vote is/has been, for years. Federer is running again. He may finally capture it for Republicans, although no one could while Gabby held the seat. I regret that. Anyway, it would be a hoot to see that District go 'R!'

Gabby benefitted not only from liberal environ, but union $$$, NEA, and all the "usual suspects," so prevalent in an urban setting. Also, he, as well as all StL. Dem pols gained from the voter-fraud so well documented...
