here's some background on his potential primary opponent: http://jdwinteregg.com/?page_id=16

This guy is really a piece of work -- along the lines of Yoho the Yahoo from Florida.

2. No problem. :)

I, for one, find it pretty disturbing that he's a public school teacher (most likely backed by a union) yet still insists on being a Teabagger. The disconnect is truly astonishing.

3. ITA

Except - he thinks "they" are not talking about "him". So who can run against him from this side of the aisle. In NJ 7th we - the people - not the Party Machine are looking for our candidate ourselves.

4. In my opinion, we have a pretty good canidate

running against Boehner/Teabag Nutter... Problem is he wont be well funded and the democratic infrastructure in this area is almost non-existent.

It'll be a very steep climb, but maybe the perfect storm of GOP dissatisfaction combined with the growing unpopularity of the tea party will be enough to send a democratic representative from Ohio's 8th to Washington.

5. From his home page, he is withdrawing from the race

6. This is a little depressing

But I do not blame great candidates for staying out. the dysfunction in Washington is enough to drive you crazy. I respect President Obama so much for making it through as an excellent politician. Guys like Rand Paul seem unfit, like it is all a game to them.
