I'm in the district (in Arizona) that has Kolbe retiring--and the Thuglican candidate is a shrieking wingnut. The Democrat is a local kid, and is leading by a wide margin in the polls. Thug National has actually yanked funding for Wingnut's campaign, basically saying they don't care if the Dem wins. Wingnut even gives my ultra-Thuglican dad the creeps--and that takes doing.

In spite of that, I wish I could be more hopeful than I am. I'm expecting them to nuke Iran and then rig the elections to bring back the Ignoble Majority.
