The problem would be if both parents had blue eyes and kid had brown eyes, wouldn't it?

If I read it correctly, there is no Democrat running. If I'm wrong, PLEASE tell me.

I'm trying to figure out why the tweeter thinks this was particularly significant to Dave Vitter.

For sure that. The newbie will be Bagger Zero as far as seniority goes.

Isn't that redundant?

Also, hey Lionel, where you been?

Oh good, I was wrong. I thought I saw an article (Politico, maybe) that said there was no Dem candidate in VA-7. At least there's a chance. I wonder how one would foment feelings of revenge among the Cantor voters (purely as a research project, you understand).

DBB, let me second your joy. While Cantor will probably be replaced by an even loonier bagger, there are two important things to remember:

1. The new bagger will have zero seniority, and 2. Cantor was such a sniveling weaseldick that his absence will probably even make Republicans happy.

The truly shocking thing about that video is that there is still snow on the ground in Wisconsin in mid-June.

I've now learned that. Good shit. I probably conflated a couple of VA districts, reading too fast.

I hate uncontested seats -- you never know for sure what might happen. On the other hand, unless you are rich enough to fund a vanity candidacy, you must have financial support. And I'm sorry to say that the Democratic Party is not eager to support you if you don't have reliable religious affiliation.

Anyhow, good luck to the Dem in VA-7. I still think the key is to inspire lust for revenge among the Cantor voters.

I could kill you for saying that.

But seriously, I had a similar retail-firearms experience in a Sierra Vista AZ convenience store. <i>Man</i> it scares the shit out of you, not knowing whether the testosterone-poisoned young man in the checkout line ahead of you is going to kill everybody before or after he buys two packs of Marlboros.
