While I agree, we must remember that the state DID elect the guy. Thus, self inflicted wound. Thankfully, they saw the light and will not make this kind of mistake again.
It was absolutely self inflicted by the Republicans. They ran Steve Larget against him the first time - and he never campaigned thinking his reputation from his football and US Rep days would carry the election. The we ran Earnest Istook (never trust a man with a dead fish handshake) - an absolute zero against Henry. What a bunch of losers....red
