But without significant monetary help from powerful national groups, the challenger’s hopes are unlikely to bring down the muscle Alexander still commands throughout the state.

Cantor was unbeatable, too.

By age 74, if a man’s priorities are not something above being a perpetual congressman, he’s too damn low for the job.

MAYBE he's smart enough to stay where he knows he can actually do something productive. He reached his max, knew it and felt comfortable.

Maybe he likes being away from his wife. Who knows.

A man has got to know his limitations. Dirty Harry

With his LIBERAL record, that alone disqualifies him. Votes 62% dem, is a Oath breaker to the US Constitution and to his promise of 2 terms and out.

Already voted Carr. And Rory Bricco for District 81, the incumbent is a lazy follower not a leader. Rory is a Christian, Constitutionalists both sate and federal. http://www.rorybricco.com/endorsements.php

Mail outs say to vote NO to retain justices Connie Clark, Sharon Lee, and Gary Wade, LIBERALS.

From already voting know RINO halsam is on the ballot, no real opposition, In face he has done little campaign wise he is so sure of re-election. Unless the dem beats him. And I don’t know who that is, as there are no ads on TV about it.

2 8 yrs terms for senate, 2, two year terms for House. If 2 terms is good enough for Governors and President, they are good enough for both state and US congress.

I want this RINO GONE! Can’t keep the oath he swore to the Constitution, can’t keep the oath he made to only serve 2 terms and OUT! Besides his being thad C twin brother voting wise 62% DemORAT!

To much liberalism for me.

If you have not voted yet these 3 LIBERAL judges need to be replaced. Connie Clark, Sharon Lee, Gary Wade. I voted NO to retain any of them. I know nothing about how they think. These 3 like 0’care, and very LIBERAL. They have hired top 0 political operatives to run their campaigns.

I agree. The Senate term is currently six years. Are you suggesting it be changed to eight years?
