You know, for about 3 Million dollars the Democratic Party could make Ryan sweat hard

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81056.html

I would appear that Paul Ryan has a sizable ($2 million) lead over his Democratic opponent for the House seat for their District. I think if the Democratic Party has a lick of sense they will pour about $3 million into the race and make Ryan have to fight for his political life at home. Every minute he has to spend kissing babies in grocery-store parking lots back home is one minute that is not available to him to prep for his debate with Biden for instance. The man is vulnerable on two fronts, he's running in two different races at the same time, we should make him work for both. Besides, think how much nicer the House will be without him, and he sure as hell won't be taking up residence at the VP's quarters.

Would he sweat as hard as he did after that two-hour marathon, though? Scootaloo Oct 2012 #1

But they don't have that type of moolah to throw around.

There are 435 elections in the House. There are about 33 Senate elections. There are other state-wide elections in 50 states.
